Peach Concept

Inspiration

After making the midi streamable (uner 5ms latency) under chrome and playable in the browser with midi usb controller, i made a light portable device for live remix of midifiles from the SD of the Teensy micro-controller.

What it does

the hardware and the website can work together or separate

The hardware part

Read midifile from the SD card, even the multi track midifile The portable device can also play 16 voice synthesizer and 8 tracks synthetic drums with build in Teensy DAC AND / OR play the midi to external devices midi or usb midi It can also stream the midi to chrome and the the other user you will be able to connect with thru socket IO

The Website part

The website in a nice visual interface to manage all the settings of the harware, liken enveloppe, FX, adsr and also for routing the midi The website can also be used for the visuals. You will be able soon to buy midifile content or sell it thru a block-chain

How we built it

First came the midifile SD reader srted from scratch. Then it was nice to build the engine to enjoy the midifiles So the we needed to make an interface fo the settings

Challenges we ran into

making the streaming working well from chrome, while replacing midi from a controller to teensy by controller to chrome to teensy, to chrome The solution is to send it directly to the stream if it is from controller but not if it is from teensy the possibilities are very multiple, so explanation are complicated We build a second harware synthesizer, nut finish to prove the concept to stream midi from hardware to harware, fast

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The midifile SD reader is working well with many files The machine harware have such a nice look

What we learned

focuse on the main function first scheduling missions to all the team's members

What's next for Peach Concept

MAking running the harware perfectly, mybe a kickstarter and for sure, when ready, the code for SD midi teensy will be un github with few usage exemples

We plan to mix the website midistream.com with the harware stream concept and ad a web platforme to buy and sell midifiles that you will create on our hardware
