This project, SynOscP5, is a library for the Processing environment. It adds support for building OSC messages in the SYN namespace.
The SYN namespace is a proposition for a standardized namespace to connect synthesizers through OSC.
The SYN namespace is being developed by Fabian Ehrentraud. The SynOscP5 library is being developed by Alvaro.
SynOscP5 is not a substitute for OscP5, but is an independant library targeted to solve some specific problems:
According to Fabian, the SYN namespace itself is "a proposal for a standardized namespace within OSC. It should have all possibilities of MIDI" and help making OSC more popular. SYN is meant to be precise and transport information as loss-free as possible. On the downturn, it is a complicated namespace. SynOscP5 is meant to offer a user-friendly interface to SYN, by using a flow pattern and providing overloaded methods for setting values more intuitively. SynOscP5 hopes to lower the treshold on building audio interfaces in Processing. Alvaro
