VST -> OSC Bridge

An old friend of ours recently made a VST plug (PC only) that can be freely
configured to send out any automation it receives via OSC.
The people at meso use it to add timeline-based control their wonderful real
time video synthesis engine called vvvv.
Have a look here:

No, I haven't. We can't even tell if it is a problem of Live or the plugin, unless
someone tries it with other host applications (VST plugins run in the process
space of the host, so whatever they do wrong will crash the host).

thanks for the reply stefan, but i'm not actually talking about using the vst/OSC plugin.
say i have live running (and it doesn't actually have to be doing anything - ie no plugins, clips, etc at all) and then start vvvv playing some video and output it's renderer to full screen live simply disappears it crashes so quick and hard.
the the next time i start live it comes up with the crash recovery dialogue, so i'm guessing something in live knows its a crash....
it seems it's something between live and vvvv, possibly in the directx rendering? who knows....
i be interested to see if you'd try it out, as maybe it's something screwy with my machine, but it seems odd that live crashes like that when i run a video program that isn't using any audio stuff at all... v. strange...

Ahh, I see. It may well be that any application that switches Windows into
exclusive fullscreen mode crashes Live. I'll pass this into our bug tracking
guys. Thanks for the report.

What do you use OSC for? I know it is "a better midi", but not many applications use it yet.

Cool! Tell me more on how you use the Monome and how well it works.

After looking at arura mixer, I'm daydreaming of making a Monodeck type controller.
How does one grab API states like clip playing and send them to a device via OSC?

For OSX you can use OSCulator. You can assign several message types (Midi notes, CCs, mouse ...) to incoming OSC messages.

No, I'm talking about vvvv in general. VVVV is not the same as OSCulator....
