  • ninjam-js

    The Ninjam music collaboration client reimplemented using JavaScript.

  • > I find its UI is user friendly when getting started with jamming via ninjam, especially when inviting less technical friends to jam.

    I made another (somewhat functional!) NINJAM client[1] a few years back as a Chrome App with this motivation in mind. Eventually added a standalone Electron release to work around Chrome's deprecation of Chrome Apps, and sadly ended up abandoning it. I'd love to see a future for it as a PWA if the server software could be updated to handle WebSocket connections (rather than only TCP).

  • jamulus

    Jamulus enables musicians to perform real-time jam sessions over the internet.

  • Ninjam is very cool and mature software with a nice community. However, not everyone can get used to the idea of playing one bar behind everybody else. While it can provide almost no-latency experience, some people just can't wrap their head around it. And, of course, it prevents rhythmic development and severely limits freedom of improvisation. For static beats and repetitive harmony it works great, though.

    If you'd like to try jamming completely simultaneously, try Jamulus (federated client-server architecture) or Sonobus (p2p). Both are free software and work very well, at least as well as physics allow. In-city jams are hindrance-free, close cities and even close countries are usually painless, as long as everyone's on Ethernet, of course.
