Subject: [linux-audio-dev] MIDI interface latency

Anybody know what's the minimum latency that can be achieved passing MIDI
notes from one computer to another?
I'm wondering if it's possible in theory to set up an audio generation
cluster to be used as a realtime instrument. Basically, have a network
aware synthesis app running on all machines, administer the
setup/modification of the signal flow architecture from one master machine
in non-rt over sockets, and then pass notes to the appropriate machines
using midi interfaces. Naturally this depends on a signal path separable
into big chunks. I have a hunch that midi over ip has latency too high and
unpredictable for this.
