> An OSC note standard would be nice, but I don't know if it's even
possible (it's different for everyone). Service discovery and namespace
enumeration need to just make it a nonexistant problem IMO.
It would be *very* nice, if not a real pain to be without!
It strikes me that whenever OSC *does* become widely used, people will
want to be able to control OSC-driven programs with their existing
hardware, eg MIDI keyboards. One way to allow that would be for all
OSC-driven programs to support MIDI as well. But it would be nice if
the programmers didn't have to go to that trouble.
And in the reverse direction, I might be using my OSC sequencer to
control an OSC-driven synth, and suddenly decide I want to play the
same melody on a MIDI-only synth. It would be nice if I could just
redirect the output, rather than transcribing the OSC notes.
So, could a translation layer be written which (given service
discovery and knowledge of namespace) can do a translation in either
direction: (a small subset of) OSC < - > MIDI?
