unsure where to post this and unsure if its possible - insight needed :help:
so me and an friend of mine are into music composition and live performing on PC's using various pieces of soft ware but so far i have been unable to find any thing that supports the idea of being able to control via midi the other pc (or the programs being run on it) directly from the other pc
basically using the main pc as a controller and the other as a slave - midi mind you
i can find many boxes that are midi in/out/through to 1 usb but i can't for the life of me find a box that connects 2 usb devices to each other and allow the midi to communicate to each other
or the holy grail of this - pc directly to pc via usb
I've located some usb to usb bridge devices but mainly those are for networking and/or file transfer
so far as i can tell they don't really support "live" data transition that we are interested in
if someone might have further input on this concept/idea and if anyone has made it a reality please let me know
