OSC requires the use of third party applications to send/receive data beyond Resonite, please use your best judgement when downloading 3rd party applications.

Open Sound Control(OSC) is a network protocol that allows software and hardware to send and receive data. It is traditionally used for controlling Sound related equipment such as DJ Equipment, Musical Instruments and Sliders/Faders.

However, OSC itself can be used for basically any purpose where you need to send structured data over the network. In Resonite, we're seeing this used for:

  • Haptics
  • Face and Eye Tracking
  • Macro Pads/Shortcut pads

Prerequisities

While OSC makes it much easier to get data in and out of Resonite, it is still a network protocol which means that there are some prerequisites:

  • Basic knowledge about IP Addresses and Network Ports.
  • For receiving:
    • An open port on the computer running Resonite.
    • The IP Address of the computer running Resonite.
  • For sending:
    • An OSC Server reachable by Resonite on the network
  • Some sort of OSC Application/Tool. See tools for some examples.

Components

OSC has the following Resonite Components:

Data

OSC Supports many data types, but Resonite supports:

  • Float
  • Double
  • Int
  • Long
  • String
  • Color
  • ColorX (Will convert to sRGB)
  • DateTime
  • Byte

Many OSC Applications send data purely as Floats.

Tools

A number of tools that support OSC already exist and are compatible with Resonite's implementation:

  • OSC Controller - Control Sliders, Buttons etc on your phone and send the data via OSC
  • Sensors2OSC - Send Android Sensor data over OSC
  • Basic-OSC-Example - A very simple OSC app written in C#. Used for testing OSC Connectivity.
  • GigglePuck - A haptic device, that vibrates in response to Resonite based Interactions
