OSC is itself a protocol which is completely independent of the choice of transport method.
OSC seems really interesting, but is it a smart thing not to specify the transport protocol? So far I've seen only one hardware synth (Reaktor) that supports it. Is any commercial manufacturer really going to replace MIDI with this if the transport method isn't specified? I suppose that Ethernet over UDP would be a logical choice, but it would still be somewhat of a gamble on the part of the first manufacturer to implement it, hoping that the others would follow suit.
Or am I missing something here?
