OSCIIBot VST
In the other Forum, a OSCIIBot VST has been discussed.
This should be possible using the open OSCIIBot source code from GitHub and the Jusce VST creation suite. Such a VST would be very useful to enable JSFXes and other track based entities to communicate with external OSC enabled devices. Maybe it also makes sense to have them send OSC messages to Reaper itself. Any comments on that ? -Michael Last edited by mschnell; 10-27-2020 at 05:05 AM. |

Mentioning concrete use case examples would help rest of us why and where this can be very important.

A VST somewhat like this already exists
There is a VST called OSCar from Ircam that will send and receive OSC.
It only handles floating number parameters so it will not replace functionally complex OSCII-bot scripts but it looks useable for simple situations. See https://forum.ircam.fr/projects/detail/oscar/ The install download contains a user guide |

I'm as curious as mschnell on this. The specific use case that brought this up was a requirement to send strings out of Reaper (coming from e.g. midi text items / item notes) to a device via osc.
While it's trivial to rewrite midi text events to sysex in a jsfx (so that they can be sent on), and a little harder to script something to do something similar with item notes, Reaper doesn't itself support sending arbitrary OSC messages. (?) So it looked like going text -> sysex -> some kind of midi connector/loopback -> OSCIIBot -> OSC was the only way of doing it. Thanks goldenarpharazon for your suggestion, but strings would be required And thanks TonE, but it looks that would create a dependency on Java? Not ideal, but something to think about. The general point though, given that OSCIIBot exists as a standalone, how useful would it be to rework it as a VST? And how easy? Presumably all the heavy lifting has been done by the current developers

Licensing of open source vs. the VST headers by Steinberg might be a problem, though. Hence Juice might help.... -Michael Last edited by mschnell; 12-18-2020 at 06:10 AM. |
