Open Sound Control (OSC) in Pure Data Vanilla | Simon Hutchinson

How to receive and parse OSC (Open Sound Control) messages in Pure Data Vanilla for real-time musical control.
Open Sound Control, like MIDI, is a protocol for transmitting data for musical performance. Unlike MIDI, though, OSC data is transmitted over a network, so we can easily transmit wirelessly from our iPhones or other devices. Another, difference, though, is that OSC messages don't have standard designations (like MIDI "Note On" or "Note Off"), so we need to set up ways to parse that data and map it to controls ourselves.
Here, I go over the basics of receiving and parsing OSC data in Pure Data Vanilla, setting us up to make our own data-driven instruments.

This is very cool, thanks so much! Would one also use the same route object followed by unpack to capture things like buttons and sliders? Would that work? Thanks for your videos, I really enjoy your channel.

[@SimonHutchinson]

Thanks for watching! Yes, you could do the same thing with the sliders, but, for TouchOSC specifically, there's a small challenge there: TouchOSC adds a number (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4), at the start of the message (after the "list") depending on which of the interfaces you're using (you can see this in the [print]). This number LOOKS like a number, but if you try to [route] it like a number, it won't work, because it's actually the SYMBOL "1" (confusing huh?). There are a few choices of solutions to this, but perhaps more that I can go into here... I'll have to make a follow up video soon.

@@SimonHutchinson I'm actually using a different control application, but I'm sure it will apply similarly. Another video would be awesome, thank you!

Thanks from my heart!!!!!

This is a great resource, thank you 🥇

[@SimonHutchinson]

Glad it was helpful!

increíble! Gracias

[@Anton-wc7lb]

Woho! This is working perfect, thanks! I'm sending data from a node.js server using npm packages dgram and osc :)

[@SimonHutchinson]

Very cool. Glad to hear it’s all working!

The other month I got my moms old iPad, so I thought it would be nice to put TouchOSC on it, as it still supports that specific iOS version .. except Apple doesn't want my money because the app-store is broken .. meh. I'm also thinking if it would be possible to add OSC capabilities to HVCC using liblo, would be a bit odd to mock the netreceive/send objects though.

[@SimonHutchinson]

There's no better use for an old iPad. Hopefully there's some way to get software on there at some point.

@@SimonHutchinson Mja, either side-loading or buying the app to my account via a "modern" iPad ;)
