Re: [LAD] Session wide panic functionality?

OSC doesn't work like that.
The power and weakness of OSC is indeed in the fact that there's no
standard OSC protocol for paths.
JACK too doesn't have such a feature, because it really depends on how
every DAW/plugin/VST/etc would handle a "panic" command.
For example, I might have a synth that - by default - reacts to such a
message by sending the above mentioned "all sounds off" event, but ignoring
the "reset all controllers, but that allows a generic panic message which
resets all controllers too. That's because a user might want to preserve
the controllers status as it is and just stop notes. And this is just one
in a million of possible scenarios.

Anyway, if you're just using devices which are able to receive midi
commands, you could try using mididings ( http://das.nasophon.de/mididings/
) with a specific python script that interfaces with it. Then you can use
whatever you want to control it, since it also has a basic OSC protocol
feature.
If you have both ALSA and JACK devices you might have to use two mididings
scripts, or, eventually (if you really know python) use a single script
that starts two different mididings engines, one with ALSA and the other
with JACK. It's a bit tricky, but, once you get it, it's always better to
start a start and check a single script than two ;)

Cheers
