Monaka-OSC(Open Sound Control bridge)

Monaka-OSC is a bridge program which convert MIDI messages from Monaka to OSC, and vice versa. On current version, the following functions are inplemented.

1. • Conversion of NOTE ON/OFF message
   

　A NOTE message on MIDI is converted to a OSC message with address ‘/led’.

　A OSC message with address ‘/press’ is converted to a note message on MIDI.

1. • Change the setting of Monaka
   

　Monaka-OSC send CC message to Monaka to change the MODE.

  Once a mode is set, Monaka remember the information in EEPROM.

(1) Connect Monaka to your PC

2. (2)Launch  Monaka-OSC program
   

   Please choose an executable for your platform. There are executables for three platforms in the Monaka-OSC package.

3. (3)Choose Parameters for OSC and MIDI
   

You need set al least OSC prefix. The prefix field must match to your application

Programming and runtime environment

Monaka-OSC make use of the following programming environments and libraries.

・Processing 1.1

・GUI for Processing   (for GUI functions）

・themidibus　（for MIDI control）

・oscP5     ( for OSC)

I only test Monaka-OSC on Mac OSX.  As Windows and Linux are also supported by Processing, the program is supposed to be functional in these platforms.
