I know the difference but Ill be actually sending midi over a network , Its just I wanted to try sending some kind of sound to start off with becaues I didnt know where to get started with the midi messages so I was trying send an osc~ sound cheers anyway guys I think Ill do what CK was doing , stick an OSC header and reciever to the beginning of my midi message.
PS is there any other tutorials available for OSC because I dont even quite know how to do what CK was saying

yo,
to clarify, OSC stands for OpenSoundControl. it is not a protocol meant for sending audio. it sends control messages than can trigger lots of processes. one process that it could control would be audio.
so, a typical use of OSC would be a patch that accepts OSC commands to trigger different sounds, much like MIDI was once used to trigger different sounds (long ago... in a galaxy far, far away).
[osc~] and [OSC] are two completely different objects in Pd:
[osc~] is just a cosine wave oscillator.
[OSC] is part of the OpenSoundControl library. You can use it to send control messages using the OSC (OpenSoundControl) protocol.
if you indeed want to send audio signals over a network, you might consider a streaming audio server, or the [streamout~] and [streamin~] object in ggee (?).
sorry if this was talking down to anyone, but i felt like this should be explained...
