What Hacker News says

This is the first time that I think I've seen the proposal. When I was building https://github.com/fundamental/rtosc I was pretty heavily influenced by the work done within liblo and libmapper. I personally really like their implementation, but like all of the options adoption drives success. With rtosc there is https://github.com/7890/oscdoc support (XML/XLST based) as well as a more standard json schema https://github.com/mruby-zest/osc-bridge/blob/master/schema/... . For the running application the discovery mechanism is in the vein of oscit where there are special discovery paths and everything is over UDP OSC. One of the limitations for ZynAddSubFX is making discovery a multi-step process, since there is a very large number of OSC paths (if you count out all enumerations it's ~4,000,000). So flat listings don't really work and even i

f that's resolved the rest of the information needs to be presented in a compact/efficient format for the system to be performant. I'd say the OSCQueryProposal looks like it falls back on HTTP concepts and javascript conventions too heavily and adds more verbosity than I'd personally prefer. Looking over the options that I had considered in the past I'm looking at libmapper again for some possible future ideas and work.
In Show HN: MRuby-Zest – A Scriptable Audio GUI Framework
Hello HN, I'm the current lead maintainer of the ZynAddSubFX project. Some of you may have heard of the project in the past, though if you haven't been tracking it recently there have been a few major changes. First and foremost the old fltk based GUI has been completely rewritten from scratch using a new custom toolkit (mruby-zest). This was done in order to make the interface more usable by making it easier to navigate, easier to use within plugin hosts, easier to get feedback, and easier on the eyes (the fltk UI wasn't exactly the prettiest). Secondly the work on the GUI was made possible by some work which decopuled the sound synthesis engine from the interface. As of the 2.5.x series all parameters can be accessed out-of-process (or on a different networked computer) via open sound control. This decoupling has improved low latency pr

ocessing and made it easy to map physical (midi) knobs/sliders onto the virtual ones. Overall this work has resulted in a number of child-projects including the RtOSC OSC implementation ( https://github.com/fundamental/rtosc ), the mruby-zest GUI toolkit ( https://github.com/mruby-zest ), and the Stoat LLVM static analysis tool ( https://github.com/fundamental/stoat ). I'm currently hoping that the large interface upgrade (which was supported with some recent crowdfunding efforts) will get more people interested in the project and help speed up the momentum of the project as a whole.
