I dunno, I was controlling the sequencers/clock in other hardware 20 years ago or so.

If they sync to a common clock with SPP it seemed to just work. Even sending 'scenes' to a lighting control mixer using MIDI/DMX worked.

At one point I had PT controlling the sequencer in a W30, two different guitar FX changes, the Yamaha synth changes, and Juno 106 changes (including sysex) all while recording the FOH mix as audio back into PT .. the cameras were on their own. Had to sync those later (best we could) using SMPTE. It's all doable.
FWIW I could also do the reverse and use the W30 to trigger start/stop in PT, which of course still allowed PT to control the other stuff.

I want to learn more about connecting/communicating over the local network myself, this seems like such a huge opportunity.
I know Rosegarden did this years ago but I see very few Windows devices adding support.
It would be pretty cool if I could just connect a network cable between two computers and have it work with all our music stuff. For now we have MIDI .. but someday maybe .. maybe NDI will develop into such a standard.
