There's an article about OSC in Wikipedia entitled Open Sound Control. The page at CNMAT uses the name OpenSound Control. It's probably quite simple to merge these two and correct the link in the MIDI article, but I'll learn that later. The newbie apologizes and goes to sleep.

Thanks for mentioning this newby! I've done the merge! Guaka 20:43, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh dear, this is wrong, in spite of the CNMAT page. The canonical spelling in present use is "Open Sound Control", and there should be a redirection going the other way for the other forms. Historically it has been referred to as "OpenSound Control", and also "OpenSoundControl" (the latter largely due to its implementation in a Max/MSP object with the same spelling), however for general reference "Open Sound Control" is presently the most common usage and also the one advocated by the authors of the specification (reference: personal communication, "its really a mess").

Lack of technical details

The present article does not describe OSC in any technical depth. --DmitryKo 00:57, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

-- I have fixed this, and plan on removing the boilerplate on the front page.

External links cleanup

External links should point to references about OSC itself, not merely programs that support the protocol, which are properly attributed to under the "Examples" section already. See also WP:External_links Andyschm 23:59, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-- it looks like someone fixed this, I am removing the boilerplate

Crystal Space OSC plugin

If anyone needs verification of its existance, you can contact me. Just search 'genjix' on google and there'll probably be some details ;) Genjix 18:42, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lead section

I'm cleaning up the formatting, adding sections, and a Lead section today.

Motivations section

It says that one of the problems with MIDI is a "lag." It's unclear what this refers to. Could someone please add an explanation or a link to one? Hellenic9 (talk) 16:09, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Implementations section

This section could do with re-alphabetizing. I would do it, but I'm not sure if some of the sequence is supposed to show relationships of some sort. Also there are several redlinks. If there isn't a WP article on the product a link to the actual web site would be a better choice. Loren.wilton (talk) 20:49, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I went through and alphabetized and added a few implementations to the list. Noisesmith (talk) 13:37, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OpenMediaControl

A few of us OSC developers recently created openmediacontrol.wetpaint.com. I propose that that is a better venue for discussion and that anything decided there is then added here.
