[OSC_dev] oscit registration complete !

[Gaspard Bucher]

I do not want to dive too deeply into max/MSP, but to be brief: it's a
very common tool used by artists and I'm writing http://rubyk.org as
an open source replacement for most of the tasks max/MSP is doing. But
since max/MSP is so common in the field I'm working in (live
performance art, installations), I have to live with what it does.

udpsend object setup
-----------------------------

This object is really stupid: it sends whatever data you feed it to a
specific ip end point specified by IP and port:

[udpsend 10.0.0.5 7400]  -----> other app listening at 10.0.0.5:7400

The port specified here is the target's port. When receiving messages
in "other app", the sender's port (max/MSP) can be anything (50173 for
a typical value). You cannot open any "udpreceive" with this port
(already in use) and what you send it is ignored.

If you want to try it out, there's a demo windows version of max/MSP:
