I am sure has been said many times but time to say it again.

We need this. Midi remote scripts using python suck. OSC is such a better way to talk with devices and make cool contorllers. It will open up a whole world.


Don't wait for the Cycling'74 partnership...that will take forever!

:arrow: by the way, may I use a OSC controllor (lemur) to control a Native-Instrument (REAKTOR) as VST into LIVE ?
if somebody tried ... let me know

maybe im alone here, but i was excited about OSC,
then i actually read the spec...

its a lexical, text based protocol.. text! wtf? *sigh* certainly not what i was expecting for what needs to be a high performance realtime protocol. especially for something that needs cheap and easy interpreting on embedded devices...

:(

+1 for the idea of being able to customise the UI and use UI abstractions on interesting external devices...

-1 for the actual protocol suggested....

Don't knock it till you tried it. It beats MIDI by a long shot.

How would integrating OSC work best? (Although I assume it is probably almost done by now over in Berlin)

I haven't dabbled in OSC yet but intend on making it a priority for work this year.
Would it be a page in teh options dialog and also in the midi mappings mode?

oh, i like the idea, i really do..
i just dont like the implementation pf the protocol itself. *shrug*. which is a pity, as the actual idea its implementing is really quite neat...

Is there a chance we could send envelopes from clips or arrangement view to other software like vvvv, in form of OSC, but as native functionality in Live?

Maybe we could have some OSC in/ OSC out mapping similar to MIDI mapping as it is now? Are there any difficulties preventing this idea from being considered or even implemented?

I don't have any experience with it except using a special VST plugin http://vvvv.meso.net/tiki-index.php?page=OSCGlue

The main disadvantage of using this plugin is that you would have to copy the envelopes you want to transmit over OSC protocol and paste them in an empty MIDI clip. The plugin even allows you to define as many named parameters as you want. Well, I just read in another post that there's that limit of FIRST 128 controllable parameters, so keep that in mind when planning things using this current solution.
