Abstract
OSynC is a set of standardised messages for communicating metrical information and rhythmic descriptors for use in networked computer-based music performance. It uses the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol to send descriptors from a host machine to any
number of receivers, while receivers can in turn send changes to the host. The OSC protocol is an emerging standard for musical control, and is an extensible, lowbandwidth method for communicating information independent of platform and application. OSynC places particular emphasis on communicating rhythmic musical
information at a range of musical timescales, providing details on musical context that are desirable for performance of beat-driven musics. It also aims to provide
flexibility for musical improvisation, as well as intelligibility for performers. The authors describe OSynC’s implementation as a Max patch, VST plug-in,
and Max For Live device. These implementations are available from http://x37v.com/x37v/osync/.
