Hi!
How would you synchronize bpm, pitch and playhead position on 10-20 different devices*, all on the same closed ethernet network?
*Mac, iPad and iPhone.
A single device is master.
Required latency tolerance in sub millisecond range, ideally sample sync.
All the devices will play up to 64 channels of audio each. 48khz 24bit wav.
I have considered two strategies:
- Broadcast all user events from master and replicate them on the slaves.
- Broadcast a continuous stream from master, comparing it on the slaves and slightly increasing / decreasing the corresponding parameter.
I have the feeling there are some better options out there as these are neither fail safe nor very accurate.
I have looked into the Ableton Link SDK, but it does not support position sync (only beat sync).
All the best.
