Does Muséik Distort Video or Audio?

Does Muséik Distort Video or Audio?

The short answer is "no."

Muséik was developed using an assumption that the conductor / live performers will approach their performance giving the digital elements equal consideration with the other artistic components. While it is entirely possible to make tempo choices that distort the film projection or audio playback, a well-prepared performance should result in tempi that match the film’s originals within a few clicks in either direction, making the playback variations in the film and audio files imperceptible.


Muséik was conceived as a musical instrument that simply outputs digital media. Just like any other instrument, the skill and preparation of the Muséik performer is the single greatest factor in the success and professionalism of the performance. A well-rehearsed performance of the media will result in no visible or audible distortion.
