[LAD] Session wide panic functionality?

[Maurizio Berti]

OSC doesn't work like that.
The power and weakness of OSC is indeed in the fact that there's no
standard OSC protocol for paths.
JACK too doesn't have such a feature, because it really depends on how
every DAW/plugin/VST/etc would handle a "panic" command.
For example, I might have a synth that - by default - reacts to such a
message by sending the above mentioned "all sounds off" event, but ignoring
the "reset all controllers, but that allows a generic panic message which
resets all controllers too. That's because a user might want to preserve
the controllers status as it is and just stop notes. And this is just one
in a million of possible scenarios.

Anyway, if you're just using devices which are able to receive midi
commands, you could try using mididings ( http://das.nasophon.de/mididings/
) with a specific python script that interfaces with it. Then you can use
whatever you want to control it, since it also has a basic OSC protocol
feature.
If you have both ALSA and JACK devices you might have to use two mididings
scripts, or, eventually (if you really know python) use a single script
that starts two different mididings engines, one with ALSA and the other
with JACK. It's a bit tricky, but, once you get it, it's always better to
start a start and check a single script than two ;)
