1. A method for facilitating real-time competition between players of game, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving music performance input from a local player;
(b) generating audio output responsive to the received input;
(c) receiving emulation data extracted from a remote musical performance; and
(d) generating a local approximation of the remote musical performance using the emulation data, the local approximation synchronous with the local musical performance.

Abstract
A method for providing real-time musical interaction among a plurality of players connected via a network includes the steps of analyzing local player'"'"'s musical performance to extract emulation data that represents the musical performance; transmitting emulation data to remote players over a network; receiving emulation data from remote players over the network; and using the emulation data to emulate the remote player'"'"'s musical performance by locally generating approximations of said performances.
