[OSC_dev] SYNoscopy (or something like it)

[Jeff Glatt]

I'm planning on writing a developer library that implements some sort
of OSC-based "standard" that replaces MIDI. As someone previously
mentioned, you currently can't use OSC for anything but a proprietary
protocol because there are no standardized set of messages (like
MIDI's Note-On, Note-Off, Program Change, Controller, etc, messages).

So, I was taking a look at this SYNoscopy specification (because what
I'd need to do is what this specification proposes). First of all, is
there any device/software currently implementing/using this particular
spec? Secondly, since there are aspects of the spec that I think could
be changed for the better (ie, make it easier, and more efficient, to
actually implement in software), I'm wondering where is the best place
to discuss them. There is a message board on the SYNoscopy site, but
it has only 1 message that looks to be dating back to 2007. Is that
board active? There looks to be some other site where people leave
comments, but the formatting makes it very difficult to follow, and
without any reply threading, it's really hard to determine who is
commenting on what.

Is this list better for discussing a full OSC replacement for MIDI?
