OPEN SOUND CONTROL - NETWORK COMMUNICATION

Open Sound Control (OSC) is a network protocol format for musical control data communication. A few of its advantages compared to MIDI are, that it's more accurate, quicker and much more flexible. With OSC you can easily send messages to other software independent if it's running on the same machine or over network. There is OSC support in software like PD, Max/Msp, Chuck or SuperCollider. A nice screencast of Andrés Cabrera shows communication between PD and Csound via OSC.1 

OSC messages contain an IP adress with port information and the data-package which will be send over network. In Csound, there are two opcodes, which provide access to network communication called OSCsend, OSClisten.

  1. As another example you can communicate via OSC between Csound and Grame's Inscore. Find the code at https://github.com/joachimheintz/cs_inscore and video tutorials at

There has been error in communication with Booktype server. Not sure right now where is the problem.
