MIDI - What does it mean to you?

[TechMouse]

Music production has been gravitating towards a 'total' software environment and 'hardware' nowadays for most people just means 'input devices'.

Possibly.

Certainly in my case, but I know a lot of people who use almost exclusively hardware devices.

What they could do with is for someone to bring out a new version of the MPC (or whatever) which supports it.

Does OSC run over USB?

Lemur & Monome are two pieces of hardware (the dont make any noise though!) that support osc and there are many others (prototypes) in the pipeline.

Yeah, one of my mates sold his mother to buy a Lemur.

Lovely bit of hardware.

Takes a while to get the most out of it though.

The implementation of a new generation sensor based hardware\instruments that will catch the publics attention, will be integral to OSC's success IMHO.

Funnily enough, I nearly did a Ph. D on this kind of thing.

Does OSC run over USB?

I havent a clue! Its specs are built around standard network technologies. I assume ethernet can carry more info than usb?

I think the best thing about it is the fact that you could use existing wireless technology to connect devices & instruments. Why bother with USB?

ps: what were you going to do you phd on?
