midi and SFX, G-Type, Showman

What Computer are you using to Run Arkaos and PP/Key ?

Can you provide a diagram ?

To keep it as simple as possible i will run on 3 macs, respecitivly 1 cat, 1PP, 1 arkaos :

Master will be cat (Macbookpro) - Ethernethub - line 1 to PP (powerbook G4/1.5) and line2 to Arkaos (powerbook G4/1.5 with fw800 external drive : only 1 movie playing 640/480 photojpeg 75% of higher). All have tiger on them.

I just tried the cat to PP setup with a utility called midipresenter which allows to send midi programs changes or MSC for controlling PP. With MSC, started in catalyst (internal or with internal relative) it worked fine but this was only the macbookpro connected to powerbook PP. The setup was done over a midi netwerk with a 1m ethernetcable.

Richard : what about the collision thing when working with 3 macs : 1 macs transmits 2 signals. I presume this will be ok?

collision nothing to do with short networks.
its to do with the distance limit of ethernet - nothing to do with what you are doing at short lengths.

But the arkaos setup will be 50-75m further or wont that make a difference?

If you wish you don't need to use real midi Cables , I mean you don't need to run midi signal . If I ware you I'll use Midi Network .

Midi network will transmit MIDI OVER NETWORK .
Also you want to create a network for the 3 machine for remote monitoring using tool like Apple Remote Desktop to be able to change files or just Sleep/restart the Macs .

if you have time to spend on this technology you will see that it come handy for many other purpose .
