True somehow.
OTOH if most applications would have a
_standardized_ mechanism to support musical control over OSC,
there would be a small chance, that OSC could replace MIDI
somewhere in the future.
The chance for MIDI to improve seems very low, due to its technical limits.
IRC Yamaha as an improved MIDI format for their digital pianos,
but I wouldn't call that a standard.
