Re: [fluid-dev] OSC support

2012-07-08 Thread Peter Eastman
As a simpler change that might be less controversial, how about just extending the sequencer API to make it easy to do these things without needing to resort to a lower level API? Then as Brett suggested, OSC could be implemented on top through its own library. This would mean, for example, creat

I didn't come here to argue. I'm suggesting ways to make FluidSynth a better program. If you don't want my help or ideas, just say so and I'll go away. Peter ___ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/flu

> OSC doesn't define one set of messages with standard semantics Not true: that's what the SYN namespace is for. See https://github.com/fabb/SynOSCopy/wiki. OSC and MIDI approached this from opposite directions. MIDI began with a standard set of commands, then added a mechanism for vendor speci

Have you thought about adding OSC support? MIDI is very limiting as a control mechanism. Being able to use OSC would make FluidSynth a lot more useful and powerful. Peter ___ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman
