04/2008: THANKS to everyone for your kind support!
I am collecting ideas and concepts for version 3. I would love to hear your thought about the future of OSCulator.
Also, in the view of expanding the website with useful resource, I plan to open a forum and give access to a public wiki (around next month). If anyone would like to share his/her experience about this subject, I'd love to hear your story.

01/2008: Cool article on CreateDigitalMusic.com, announcing the release of the new version.
11/2007: OSCulator has been featured on Neural.it website frontpage!
Thanks to this great review: OSCulator reaches different paradigms of composition, certainly not new, but still very flexible and with lots of potentialities, re-introducing a more physical aspect, paradoxically going back towards the traditional human act of playing an instrument, and its visual performance.

What is OSCulator?
Virtual-hub for devices and softwares
OSCulator is able to be used with many hardware devices and software, thanks to the OSC protocol. For example, with OSCulator, your Nintendo Wiimote can talk to major MIDI sequencers or your favorite console emulator or Kyma sound design workstation.
And using OSCulator, your Lemur can talk directly to the Kyma sound design workstation using higher bandwidth and higher resolution than MIDI controls ... with great ease of use.
Check out the videos in the FAQ to see what's possible to do with a Wiimote, Kyma and MIDI enabled devices.
K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Silly!)
OSCulator is able to communicate very easily with musical tools like Max/MSP, Logic, Live, or external synthesizers, and, in a totally different application field Keynote.
Multiple inputs, multiple outputs
OSCulator's efficient design allows many inputs and outputs to be used at once and is ready for future developments. If you can't find an extension that meets your needs, chances are your problem can be solved quickly if you kindly ask the developer!
