Editing Open Sound Control (section)

== Applications ==
There are dozens of OSC applications, including real-time sound and media processing environments, web interactivity tools, software synthesizers, programming languages and hardware devices. OSC has achieved wide use in fields including [[musical expression]], robotics, video performance interfaces, distributed music systems and [[inter-process communication]].

The [[TUIO]] community standard for tangible interfaces such as multitouch is built on top of OSC. Similarly the GDIF system for representing gestures integrates OSC.

OSC is used extensively in experimental musical controllers, and has been built into several open source and commercial products.

The Open Sound World (OSW) music programming language is designed around OSC messaging.<ref>{{cite web |title=OSW Manual OpenSound Control (OSC) |url=http://osw.sourceforge.net/manual/osc.htm |website=osw.sourceforge.net |access-date=22 December 2019}}</ref>

OSC is the heart of the [[Disposable Soft Synth Interface|DSSI]] plugin API, an evolution of the LADSPA API, in order to make the eventual [[Graphical user interface|GUI]] interact with the core of the plugin via messaging the plugin host. LADSPA and DSSI are APIs dedicated to audio effects and synthesizers.

In 2007, a standardized namespace within OSC called SYN, for communication between controllers, synthesizers and hosts, was proposed,
