OpenSoundControl for Nintendo DS

A new update to the DS Music Interface Software project includes support for high-res data messages in the OSC format –

OSC is an emerging standard for exchanging music control signals that is much more flexible and modern than MIDI. For example, OSC can directly communicate via network, so the PC-side DSMI server is not required.

fishuyo also made a nice demo of the new OSC capabilities with a Kaoss pad and sliders. It comes with a pd patch that is a nice little synth. Check out the demo’s source code! OSC is really easy to add to your application. And it’s the future! So, get libdsmi v3.0 now!

This opens up some interesting possibilities for the DS homebrew scene – DSMI [via Create Digital Music]
