LAUNCHES OSC/PILOT,
A NEW PERFORMANCE TOOL FOR DIGITAL ARTISTS AND MUSICIANS
“OSC/PILOT has been in development since October 2013 and I’ve been field-testing and using it in shows since that time. It’s a vital component to our live production, both on stage, and front of house.” -deadmau5
World-renowned electronic musician deadmau5 has launches OSC/PILOT — a bi-directional control surface application originally built as a performance tool for digital artists and musicians— to make it available to the public. The application was used for years by deadmau5 on tour as his control surface for shows.
As the overlap between audio and visual application space continues to grow, there is a need for a simple way to control these applications in a desktop application. Interoperability between the applications at the artist’s disposal (AbletonLive, TouchDesigner, Max MSP, Processing, Bitwig, etc.) allows digital audio and visual artists to control the content of any space with data from any other space. OSC/PILOT aims to provide an easy way to build user interfaces for this control.
In addition, the huge amounts of display options give the artists both their choice of canvas, as well as their choice of how to drive the content to that canvas. OSC/PILOT is a robust and simple tool to harness the interoperability and enable this kind of control.
