a month later, midi2osc becomes OSCII-bot
midi2osc, as mentioned in the last post, got some updates which made its name obsolete, particularly the ability to send MIDI and receive OSC, so it has now been renamed OSCII-bot. Other mildly interesting updates:
- OSX version
- Can load multiple scripts, which run independently but can share hardware
- Better string syntax (normal quotes rather than silly {} etc), user strings identified by values 0..1023
- Better string manipulation APIs (sprintf(), strcpy(), match(), etc).
- match() and oscmatch(), which can be used for simple regular expressions with the ability to extract values
- Ability to detect stale devices and reopen them
- Scripts can output text to the newly resizeable console, including basic terminal emualtion (\r, and \33[2J for clear)
- Vastly improved icon
I'll probably get around to putting it on cockos.com soon enough, but for now a new build is
