Abstract: Abstract A new music technology system is being created by the University of Portsmouth and Counterpoint MTC in order to assist music teachers in Education. This paper describes this system which consists of a network of up to 16 portable keyboards linked together via electronic interfaces to computers. Used alone, an electronic interface supplies power to a music keyboard and processes MIDI signals in real time to control the keyboard. When linked to other electronic interfaces, an audio network is created for grouping users together, each interface being controlled remotely from a control c...
