Hey there. I know OSC is not widely used yet, but it might replace MIDI eventually.
I’ve read a few threads about people wanting more external control over renoise’s many parameters. But with variable number of tracks, optional DSP effects and VST plugins, it’s quite hard to get a proper MIDI mapping.
With OSC, you have an unlimited number of controllers and you can organize them easily, in a URL fashion, such as :
/renoise/1/volume # control base volume of track 1
/renoise/1/keyboard # send notes to the track 1
/renoise/1/dsp/1/on # toggle on/off effect 1 of track 1
/renoise/1/dsp/1/param1 # control param 1 of effect 1 of track 1
Of course, you don’t have many OSC hardware controllers right now. But it would be quite easy to have a third party software that bridge MIDI controls to OSC messages. If this software can save/load mappings, you can have something very convenient.
Writing that last sentence, an alternative comes to my mind : the ability to store MIDI mappings and reload them, just like you load a DSP chain or an instrument.
Use case :
load volume control -> your knobs are assigned to the volumes of each track of your song
load pan control -> same for panoramics
etc.
