pd can do this, but its lack of dynamism and polyphony means you may need to precreate actual objects for the various OSC paths and ports you intend to use (unless theres now a 'settable route' or 'settable OSCroute' object). in addition its OSC support is spaghetti code from 1997 and someone went in recently to 'fix' it on win32 which incidentally totally broke it on my platform (the OSCx library i mean). and its not full-duplex and return ports have to be hardcoded instead of negotiated, which means many OSC apps wont work (i had to bother Dave to add a custom case for this so i could conect to Om from PD) and it will definitely fuck with the timing. its worth a shot though.

i'm guessing when OSC and MIDI are both first claas citizens on the jack transport, this is one of the first apps we'll see.
