Antoine,
I'm dimly aware of OSC, but have yet to wrap my head around the potential
advantages of it. I know that Jesse Chappell uses it in SooperLooper. Can you
give me an example application?
Thanks,

OSC is also used for communicating to the SuperCollider engine, and I'm
working on a modular synth that is entirely OSC controlled.
You can send OSC messages from Max/MSP, Pd; it's used in Reaktor and
some other NI products, and is usable from at least a few scripting
languages (Python being one I know for sure).
It basically allows you to send arbitrary commands with an arbitrary
number of arguments of any type.
/synth/note_on 440
/set_volume 1.2
/patches/master/nodes/oscillator/set_control frequency 440
/do_stuff withlots ofarguments 123.0 25
etc. etc.

I think I
am heading in this direction. Please let me know if there are
specific types of control you'd like to see.
OSC?
