> http://cnmat.cnmat.berkeley.edu/OpenSoundControl/ My initial impression is that OSC is ideal. It's all about parameter naming. It's well thought out. It's shaping up to be the replacement for MIDI. I can see one obvious objection... Strings, parameters have URL-style names. BUT. At Tim said, it's just a programming issue. While initialising the plugin, map param-names to param-index, ...or pointers, or whatever...(details don't matter). Use that shortcut for sending events etc). why re-invent the wheel? (we want to provide OSC compatibility anyhow) what do yous think? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
