ReSYP - Remote Synth Player

ReSYP is a patented web system designed for retailers and manufacturers of MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) electronic musical instruments. With ReSYP, users can try out electronic musical instruments remotely, simply using their computer. The system is based on the interaction between two software components and leverages the Internet infrastructure to create a real-time connection between the user and the instrument available in the store. How it works: The system is composed of two main applications: 1. Player (user side) - Software with a graphical interface featuring a virtual keyboard (similar to a piano) and controls for modifying the sound. - Notes are played using the PC keyboard and the controls are moved with the mouse. - An external MIDI keyboard can be connected for a more realistic experience. 2. Manager (store side) - Software installed on a computer at the point of sale that puts the musical instruments online. - Receives connection requests and creates an interactive channel between the user and the selected instrument. - The sound produced by the instrument is transmitted to the user in real time. The computer at the point of sale must be connected to audio/MIDI interfaces, a TRUE MIDI hub, an Ethernet switch, and remote power distribution units (PDUs) for complete control of the instrument. Important: The instruments remain off until the user logs in. They turn on at the beginning of the session and off at the end, reducing power consumption and wear.
