Ill just say my 2 cents regarding point number 1:
1. the track order is reversed, the first track being at the bootom
It seems that's the way with most physical controllers too, I've got an
Akai LPD8,
and "bottom-left" counts from pad 1, upwards. See the following image of
an Akai 16 pad:

Okay, thanks for this info.
I'm not sure how your program works internally as to what the best
solution is to
solving this problem.
In my WIP project/ /I've used LibLO for OSC, and create a function in my
Sampler class which
takes an *int* parameter as for which pad to play. This seems a pretty
clean solution to me,
however as I say, I havent looked at your sources as to what's the best
implementation.
Really, my question isn't about the implementation. I am asking about OSC
protocol best design practices, in general. This is not Jackbeat specific at all
to me.
What about the in/out symmetry that I mentioned? Should the track position go
into the path or be passed as a value? Should indexes be zero-based? Etc..
To be honest, I am very confused about the idea that OSC is some kind of MIDI
successor. The MIDI protocol is a rather defined, with notes, CC, etc..
Whereas OSC just looks like a generic RPC mechanism, thus requiring some
development knowledge or custom-made tools.
