midi sync laptops in ableton?

[tocsin]

can we simply connect sound cards up or do we need some form of midi box?

a nice feature for the future of ableton , would be like a usb connexion to link up laptops and sync em all together over usb or firewire.


you need at least one midi in and out on both laptops.

I can't recall where I saw this. But, I'm pretty sure I'd stumbled across some software hack program that allowed you to send midi data over a TCP/IP connection. So, you should be able to slave up the machines via a wireless network card. I'll do some research. I can't remember if this was still in discussion stages or if it was something finished.
