Hallo!
Also, if you are using Max and Pd, and not using any of the time tagging of OSC, then why not just use Max/Pd semi-color terminated messages? SuperCollider can easily interpret them and its built-in to Max and Pd.
Thanks for your suggestion, but it should also be possible to e.g. control normal audio editors or other programs which support OSC. And this becomes then a little bit tricky I think ?

Indeed, that's where OSC is definitely handy, a widely adopted standard, I was just going on the list you gave before (Pd, SuperCollider, Max).
I see many people struggling with OSC to get things like Java, PHP, etc. talking to Pd when really you can just open a network socket to a [netreceive] and send semi-colon separated plain text messages.
