<HTML><BODY>Hey Len, thanks for the insight. I never used OSC this way so far. I also did not know that there are existing RFCs for MIDI over RTP, which is very nice! So, yeah, lets do that. I will take a closer look at the code repos you posted. I definitly want to give this a try! But I am rather busy at the moment, so don't expect too fast progress in this matter ;-) BR, Ck Mittwoch, 29 August 2018, 09:00nachm. +01:00 von Len Ovens <a href="mailto:len@ovenwerks.net">len@ovenwerks.net</a>: <blockquote id="mail-app-auto-quote" cite="15355728320000011926" style="border-left:1px solid #FC2C38; margin:0px 0px 0px 10px; padding:0px 0px 0px 10px;"> <div class="js-helper js-readmsg-msg"> <style type="text/css"></style> <div > <base target="_self" href="https://e-aj.my.com/" /> <div id="style_15355728320000011926_BODY">On Wed, 29 Aug 2018, <a href="mailto:christoph.kuhr@web.de">christoph.kuhr@web.de</a> wrote: > I would always prefer a UDP based solutions, because TCP can really mess up the > timing.

OSC being lossless has not been my experience. The problem I have had is the OSC messages are generally one message per packet which means that a large group of messages can overwhelm udp quite easily. OSC does allow for using bundles of messages to be performed at the same time, however MIDI to OSC cannot really determine a group of events that happen at the same time because of it's (slow) serial nature. Do note that the osc message "stormes" I have had trouble with are bigger than what MIDI was designed to handle in realtime (10 events from 10 fingers). I am talking about refreshing a control surface with at least 8 strips with each strip having 20 or so events. So well over 100 events. When I tried to use bundles, I found that no control surfaces created or understood bundled messages. I ended up adding a small delay in the sends to fix this... not very "real time" :) Not noticable while moving one control like a fader but noticable if performing music. -- Len Ovens <a href="http://www.ovenwerks.net" target="_blank" >www.ovenwerks.net</a> </div> <div>_______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list <a href="mailto:Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org">Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org</a> <a href="https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev" target="_blank" >https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev</a> </div> <base target="_self" href="https://e-aj.my.com/" /> </div> </div> </blockquote></BODY></HTML>
