Overview ¶
Package osc provides a client and server for sending and receiving OpenSoundControl messages.
The package is implemented in pure Go.
The implementation is based on the Open Sound Control 1.0 Specification (http://opensoundcontrol.org/spec-1_0).
Open Sound Control (OSC) is an open, transport-independent, message-based protocol developed for communication among computers, sound synthesizers, and other multimedia devices.
Features:
- Supports OSC messages with 'i' (Int32), 'f' (Float32), 's' (string), 'b' (blob / binary data), 'h' (Int64), 't' (OSC timetag), 'd' (Double/int64), 'T' (True), 'F' (False), 'N' (Nil) types.
- OSC bundles, including timetags
- Support for OSC address pattern including '*', '?', '{,}' and '[]' wildcards
- TODO: Describe registering methods
This OSC implementation uses the UDP protocol for sending and receiving OSC packets.
The unit of transmission of OSC is an OSC Packet. Any application that sends OSC Packets is an OSC Client; any application that receives OSC Packets is an OSC Server.
An OSC packet consists of its contents, a contiguous block of binary data, and its size, the number of 8-bit bytes that comprise the contents. The size of an OSC packet is always a multiple of 4.
OSC packets come in two flavors:
OSC Messages: An OSC message consists of an OSC address pattern, followed by an OSC Type Tag String, and finally by zero or more OSC arguments.
OSC Bundles: An OSC Bundle consists of the string "#bundle" followed by an OSC Time Tag, followed by zero or more OSC bundle elements. Each bundle element can be another OSC bundle (note this recursive definition: bundle may contain bundles) or OSC message.
An OSC bundle element consists of its size and its contents. The size is an int32 representing the number of 8-bit bytes in the contents, and will always be a multiple of 4. The contents are either an OSC Message or an OSC Bundle.
The following argument types are supported: 'i' (Int32), 'f' (Float32), 's' (string), 'b' (blob / binary data), 'h' (Int64), 't' (OSC timetag), 'd' (Double/int64), 'T' (True), 'F' (False), 'N' (Nil).
go-osc supports the following OSC address patterns: - '*', '?', '{,}' and '[]' wildcards.
Usage ¶
OSC client example:
client := osc.NewClient("localhost", 8765)
msg := osc.NewMessage("/osc/address")
msg.Append(int32(111))
msg.Append(true)
msg.Append("hello")
client.Send(msg)
OSC server example:
addr := "127.0.0.1:8765"
server := &osc.Server{Addr: addr}
server.Handle("/message/address", func(msg *osc.Message) {
osc.PrintMessage(msg)
})
server.ListenAndServe()

Functions ¶
Types ¶
type Client ¶
type Client interface {
Connect(int) error
Disconnect() error
Send(*Message) error
Receive(time.Duration) (*Message, error)
}
Client exposes Connect, Disconnect, Send Receive.
type Message ¶
type Message struct {
Address string
Arguments []interface{}
}
Message represents a single OSC message. An OSC message consists of an OSC address pattern and zero or more arguments.
func NewMessage ¶
NewMessage returns a new Message. The address parameter is the OSC address.
func (*Message) Append ¶
func (msg *Message) Append(args ...interface{})
Append appends the given arguments to the arguments list.
func (*Message) MarshalBinary ¶
MarshalBinary serializes the OSC message to a byte buffer. The byte buffer has the following format: 1. OSC Address Pattern 2. OSC Type Tag String 3. OSC Arguments
type Timetag ¶
type Timetag struct {
MinValue uint64 // Minimum value of an OSC Time Tag. Is always 1.
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Timetag represents an OSC Time Tag. An OSC Time Tag is defined as follows: Time tags are represented by a 64 bit fixed point number. The first 32 bits specify the number of seconds since midnight on January 1, 1900, and the last 32 bits specify fractional parts of a second to a precision of about 200 picoseconds. This is the representation used by Internet NTP timestamps.
func NewTimetag ¶
NewTimetag returns a new OSC time tag object.
func NewTimetagFromTimetag ¶
NewTimetagFromTimetag creates a new Timetag from the given `timetag`.
func (*Timetag) ExpiresIn ¶
ExpiresIn calculates the number of seconds until the current time is the same as the value of the time tag. It returns zero if the value of the time tag is in the past.
func (*Timetag) FractionalSecond ¶
FractionalSecond returns the last 32 bits of the OSC time tag. Specifies the fractional part of a second.
func (*Timetag) MarshalBinary ¶
MarshalBinary converts the OSC time tag to a byte array.
func (*Timetag) SecondsSinceEpoch ¶
SecondsSinceEpoch returns the first 32 bits (the number of seconds since the midnight 1900) from the OSC time tag.
