The Internet Midi Converter is a small box you plug into your music instrument (with midi protocol), and on the internet.
I have created 2 versions of the Internet MIDI Converter:
The Echonest Midi Player
In real time it plays tracks analysed from the Echonest.
A web interface allows you to choose tracks or artists you want to play the music.
The Twitter best ever Midi Player
In real time it creates a MIDI stream according to the content of the twitter messages.
A web interface allows you to choose hashtags, users or replies to personalize your Twitter best ever MIDI player experience.
You can even compose music on Twitter with it (limited to 30 notes; it's a micro blogging service).
