SuperConductor is an online music room for your virtual band. Connect your digital instruments - or simply use your keyboard - and rock out with your friends in this fully synchronized, latency-compensated environment.
Hi folks, I'm excited to share with you all the music collaboration app SuperConductor. It is a web application designed to make playing music with people over the internet easy and fun. Jump into a virtual music room with up to 5 other people and play along to any MIDI song with your keyboard or a MIDI instrument!
As we have learned throughout the pandemic, it is very tricky to synchronize audio in real-time over the internet, especially for the purpose of performing music. As a musician, I sought to address this issue and created SuperConductor. It makes real-time music collaboration smooth by using MIDI and carefully manipulating the timing of events to minimize the perception of delay caused by network latency. Early experiments showed that this approach can be very effective, but a common timing system is still required for most use cases. This is also provided by SuperConductor through its synchronized playback, metronome, and visual cues.
Many other features are available at various stages of completion. I'd be happy to answer any questions and hear your feedback!
Impressively smooth and responsive, given that it's a full-blown music creation and collaboration suite running entirely as a web-app. Casual play and synth modes are a lot of fun. Nice work man.
This app is INCREDIBLE. Not only was I able to host live jam sessions without ANY lag, there’s also a suite of tools that help me analyze and improve my playing. It’s packed with a ton of features and even has this fun rhythm game where you can compete with friends. Tried it and it was really delightful.
Did I mention you can use it for free? Honestly can’t find another tool like this that is well built and truly zero-latency. Would be happy to pay for this. Huge props to the maker 👍
