Hello Massy1
First to the FUSE part; It might be interesting, but on the other
hand, we already have lo_send, I think that was the programs name,
which just sends a parameter value to a specific OSC path. I've used
it in my earliest testing with DSSI plugins. You can use that from a
shell script. By using this design for our interface, we only add
another layer. In any case i'm not sure how much info OSC nodes can
actually give. I would doubt, if they can tell you what unit a value
has or what its possible enumeration values mean (1 = sine, 2 =
sqaure...) So that part would always have to be configured in some
way. If one is clever, one might write an xml file for this. It's
not as much work as hard-coding it into a single interface for a
sngle program and might allow for an "almost" automation. Without
that XML file, the UI would just show, what can be gathered from the
OSC parameters, through the OSC system.
Kind regards
Julien
Hi Julien,
I think you're right about this. The hardest part might be to have
some standard way of communicating the OSC hierarchy, and the types
and ranges of parameters to other programs. I think this should be
the first step if you want to make a generic interface.
I think it would be really hard (in the sense of hard coding :-)
to control a program with OSC, without having a way to find out
about parameters, types and ranges.
I'm wondering if OSC has any introspection methods at all.
Is there anyone who could shed a light on this?
Is there some standard xml format for describing OSC parameters ?
Maybe it's a stupid question, but I didn't find anything on
the subject...
Oh wait, I tried again, and just found this:
