J.A.M. | Join a Metronome
J.A.M. is an online metronome designed to play music together (remotely) on live streaming platforms for an audience. It plays a 4/4 click track that is in sync with all other devices in the world. Pick a tune, play to the click and the audience hears it all happen live.
The workshop will begin with an overview of how it works, and then will branch into two tracks: one for musicians to play together using joinametronome.com, and the other for developers to hack on the codebase.
