A low-latency remote musical collaboration software project. Meant to run on a Bela.
Peer-to-peer session management is handled by the wooten server.
I gave a presentation on this project at MAGFest 2022.
The simplest way to set up wooten is with one of the release images.
You can install it onto your Bela-equipped BeagleBone Black revC in the same way that you would install one of the Bela release images. Instructions are here: https://learn.bela.io/using-bela/bela-techniques/managing-your-sd-card/
Example steps:
- flash the provided image onto a micro SD card using balena etcher
- insert the micro SD card into the BeagleBone Black
- plug the BeagleBone Black into a computer via USB
- ssh in and flash the eMMC:
ssh root@192.168.7.2
/opt/Bela/bela_flash_emmc.sh
- now you can remove the SD card and reset the BeagleBone
- you should be able to access the wooten GUI at http://192.168.7.2/gui/
Build and install my fork of liquid-dsp, which sets the right compiler flags for the beaglebone black.
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/hello-adam/liquid-dsp.git
cd liquid-dsp
./bootstrap.sh
./configure
make
make install
ldconfig
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/hello-adam/wooten.git
cd wooten
./build.sh
Then navigate to the GUI in a web browser at http://192.168.7.2/gui
Tested with Bela image 0.3.8b and 0.3.8e
Current tests show ~4ms round-trip latency on a LAN, and ~45ms round-trip from Verizion FiOS (fiber) to Comcast XFinity (cable) in the Baltimore area.
Refer to bela docs for details on how to run a program at startup.
Please report bugs and ideas in the GitHub issues.
