These projects may be outdated – Other options include: Twilio or IFTTT

A thought exercise – to come up with various ways of making wireless Midi systems based on projects I’ve already done.

any combination of iOS and MacOS devices
use touchOSC with above setup
Arduino + ethernet shield to wifi router to touchOSC
Same as above but using wifi bridge to connect to router*
Arduino + wifi shield via UDP*
Arduino + wireless SD + xbee to same – one end connected to mac OS device
IR emitter/detector pair*
Arduino + wireless SD + WiFly rn-xv via UDP*
bluetooth* (here’s an app called bluemidi http://www.iosmusician.com/category/bluetooth-midi-on-ios
modulated laser pointer and solar panel*
convert to audio then use any audio transmission method and convert back to midi*
Use RTTY with ham radio*
cell phone*
