There is nothing better than being in front of hardware itself (especially knobby keyboard interfaces), but isn't this a useful idea? Is it already in development or used?
I can think of many applications, but one would be simply trying a new or vintage synth remotely through some basic web midi/audio interface where you can fool around with midi assignable objects, sequences, test out filter, make your own sounds, do some simple sampling, go through presets, stream at low quality for latency or record at high quality and download later, etc. Say you can do this in an hour of 'rented' time with the actual hardware remotely that may be vintage or not available to you to play locally..
Any thoughts? Maybe the only way you'll ever get to make your own patch/sound on Roland MKS80 (aka Jupiter 8 rack)? Maybe a midi museum of synths?
