this may be slightly off-topic cause it's a hardware-specific question but
i figured some of you my have tried this in SC.

i would like to send MIDI messages (in SC) back and forth between 2 macbook
pros using a thunderbolt cable. Problem is, i don't have access to these
machines (my MB is old, no thunderbolt). So for now i just wanna make sure
this is actually possible. I guess so, but since it involves hardware/ports
i've never used, i wanted to ask.

best!

Hi Roc,

Why not send osc messages via ethernet cable (or ethernet over
thunderbolt if that is possible) ? MIDI is very 80's... :-)

MIDI is very eighties indeed, but so are the synths we're using (they ARE
from the 80s). :––)

Well, you mentioned sending messages between two macbook pros... those
are not from the 80's. :-)
