| Here's a little demonstration of me setting up and jamming with DSMIDIWiFi, an incredible homebrew application for the Nintendo DS by 0xtob and TheRain. It allows any homebrew-capable Nintendo DS to send and receive MIDI messages over WiFi, turning it either into a MIDI controller for your synths, or turning the DS into a controllable MIDI synth module. First part of this video shows how I set up my Gentoo Linux machine to act as a controllable MIDI slave for the DS, using JACK and FluidSynth. The second part shows me using the DS to do a bit of jamming. :) Most of it is just random, but for some reason I played the riff from Gorillaz' Feel Good Inc., and of course the obligatory Mario Bros. overworld theme. ;D Note how there's next to no latency. It's hardly noticeable at all and doesn't affect my ability to play the synthesizer live. This, however is different story if you use Windows due to its less flexible MIDI implementation, hence I prefer Linux and JACK (which is brilliant for audio work). Thanks 0xtob and TheRain for making this cool stuff happen! Hope you enjoy the video and excuse my couple bad notes. ;D |
