OSC stands for Open Sound Control. It's a protocol used for networking sound synthesisers, computers, and other multimedia devices. OSC is designed to be more flexible and expressive than MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), allowing for high-precision control over networks like Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Similar to MIDI, OSC can be used to control MaestroDMX in real-time. Industry-standard controllers, such as lighting desks and architectural lighting control systems, can output OSC to control MaestroDMX over a network.
TouchOSC is a great 3rd-party app that allows user created custom OSC-based interfaces to control MaestroDMX. TouchOSC runs on PCs, tablets, and phones. For example, a restaurant or bar could have a tablet touch screen mounted to the wall with single buttons to switch between colours, or ambient to party looks. You can easily create a TouchOSC interface that has one slider for stage brightness, and 3 buttons to trigger different cues in MaestroDMX representing different vibes for the evening that could be ‘Static’, ‘Chill, or ‘Party’. TouchOSC allows you to do this with ease.
Here is a TouchOSC Interface we have made for you to try out and modify as you desire:
