scosc

scosc allows you to communicate via OSC messages with a supercollider server (scsynth).

At a glance

• Send OSC to scsynth
• Receive OSC from scsynth
• Background reply queueing
• Simple syntax
• No external dependencies

Relavant Executables

• bin/pkscmidi - Play notes from a midi controller using a supercollider synth.
• bin/pkechoosc - scsynth stand-in, prints osc messages to stdout.
• bin/pkechomidi - print midi controller messages to stdout.

Comments

While this is all great, sclang should be python. We need an sclang implementation in python.
