OSC is used extensively in experimental musical controllers, and has been built into several open source and commercial products. Similarly the GDIF system for representing gestures integrates OSC. The TUIO community standard for tangible interfaces such as multitouch is built on top of OSC.
OSC has achieved wide use in fields including musical expression, robotics, video performance interfaces, distributed music systems and inter-process communication.
Alternative to qlab software#
There are dozens of OSC applications, including real-time sound and media processing environments, web interactivity tools, software synthesizers, programming languages and hardware devices.
OSC's main features, compared to MIDI, include:
Alternative to qlab serial#
OSC messages between gestural controllers are usually transmitted over serial endpoints of USB wrapped in the SLIP protocol. OSC messages are transported across the internet and within local subnets using UDP/IP and Ethernet. OSC is sometimes used as an alternative to the 1983 MIDI standard, when higher resolution and a richer parameter space is desired. It was originally intended for sharing music performance data (gestures, parameters and note sequences) between musical instruments (especially electronic musical instruments such as synthesizers), computers, and other multimedia devices. OSC is a content format developed at CNMAT by Adrian Freed and Matt Wright comparable to XML, WDDX, or JSON.
