oscinit

Start a listening process for OSC messages to a particular port.

⚠ Deprecated alias

OSCinit is a deprecated alias of oscinit in Csound 7. Use oscinit in new code. The old name still works for compatibility.

Plugin opcode in osc.

This listening process can be used by osclisten.

Syntax

ihandle = oscinit(iport)

ihandle OSCinit iport

Initialization

ihandle -- handle returned that can be passed to any number of osclisten opcodes to receive messages on this port.

iport -- the port on which to listen.

Performance

The listener runs in the background. See osclisten for details.

Examples

The example shows a pair of floating point numbers being received on port 7770.

sr = 44100
ksmps = 100
nchnls = 2

handle@global:i = oscinit(7770)

instr 1
  f1:k = init(0)
  f2:k = init(0)
nxtmsg:
  kk = osclisten(handle, "/foo/bar", "ff", f1, f2)
  if (kk == 0) goto ex
    printk(0, f1)
    printk(0, f2)
    kgoto(nxtmsg)
ex:
  endin
