Creating Telematic Musical Performances Through Max And The Web With Collab-Hub
summary
Collab-Hub is a Node.js/socket.io server that shares control data (not audio or video) between Max, Pure Data and browser clients; it supports push vs publish messages, rooms and namespaces for isolating ensembles, and hardware clients (esp32/Arduino) that toggle LEDs or CV. Demoed use: distributed sliders, events for score cues, delay/loop control and audience phone inputs; PD currently needs a small Node bridge, Max is native, servers sit in the US (Europe planned) and latency varies 30–100+ ms in tests.
