What do you think how to talk to a synth in OSC? I think here the people have the most practical relation to controlling synths. So if you want to contribute to a common wiki and share your thoughts, be welcome at http://synosc.wetpaint.com/ where I try to build a standardized namespace for OSC for the task of controlling synths! I will add everyone who is interested.

It seems by your link that the OSC standard is not finished yet, wouldn't it be better to wait for it to be finished? I do prefer the idea of OSC though.
However, I would think that SM needs better event-driven internals. And is seems it is [url=[old link] TWO years[/url] since that has been worked on.
+1 for the idea -10 reality check it will happen to SM I do hope that SYNoscopy will mature into a full replacement for the ancient MIDI!

Hey,
I have to recall this is a nice idea!
OSC has many advantages:
higer resolution usable with LAN cable control not only for midi like signals
have to say that some devices like the lemur or some stuff of native instruments support osc
its more for future stuff but very cool!

Chicken and Egg thing isn't it. Doesn't become a standard until people are using it - but nobody will use it until it's a standard! 🙁 Always seemed strange to me that computers have gone from Centronics - RS232 - USB - Firewire - USB2 (USB3 on it's way) but us muso's are still stuck in the 80s with MIDI. My rig's all set up using Yamaha's mLAN - great idea; 64 channels of audio, 128ch of MIDI and/control signals all down one Firewire cable with virtual routing from any device to any other. Gonna have to dump it soon though - it never caught on, so now there's no support or upgrades. (Largely Yamaha's own fault it has to be said) Sad to say, but OSC's probably just far far too good an idea for this screwed up world - no money in it for Bill Gates and the like, they all want us buying into their closed little brand names.

Ok, the other feature would be to start a synthmaker own connection protocol 😉
