Title

Managing Complexity with Explicit Mapping of Gestures to Sound Control with OSC.

 

Abstract

We present a novel use of the OpenSoundControl (OSC) protocol to represent the output of a gestural controller as well as the input to sound synthesis processes. With this scheme, the problem of mapping gestural input into sound synthesis control becomes a simple translation from OSC messages into other OSC messages. We provide examples of this strategy and show benefits including increased encapsulation and program clarity.
