== Motivation ==
OSC is a content format developed at [[CNMAT]] by Adrian Freed and Matt Wright comparable to [[XML]], [[WDDX]], or [[JSON]].<ref>{{cite web |title=OpenSoundControl {{!}} CNMAT |url=http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/opensoundcontrol |website=cnmat.berkeley.edu |access-date=22 December 2019}}</ref> It was originally intended for sharing music performance data (gestures, parameters and note sequences) between musical instruments (especially [[electronic musical instruments]] such as [[synthesizers]]), computers, and other multimedia devices. OSC is sometimes used as an alternative to the 1983 [[MIDI]] standard, when higher resolution and a richer parameter space is desired. OSC messages are transported across the internet and within local subnets using [[UDP/IP]] and [[Ethernet]]. OSC messages between gestural controllers are usually transmitted over serial endpoints of [[USB]] wrapped in the [[Serial Line Internet Protocol|SLIP]] protocol.
