I actually found two different versions of the OSC external for Mac OSX. One is from http://barely.a.live.fm/pd/ and contains three Darwin files (sendOCS.pd_darwin, routeOSC.pd_darwin, and dumpOSC.pd_darwin) without any documentation or help patches. The other is from http://homepage.mac.com/atl/sw which only contains one Darwin file (OSC.pd_darwin), but does not contain documentation or example patches either. I'm not sure what the differences are between the two builds of OSC, or how to use OSC in PD.
Here is a site with documentation about OSC: http://cnmat.cnmat.berkeley.edu/OSC/
I need to comb through it some more in order to understand it though.
By the way, what makes OSC any better/worse/different than netsend/netreceive, or netclient/netserver?

Hey there, i have a rudimentary understanding of PD, ad as trying to rig up an online sythn controlled via OSC. However, i can find no real documentation on OSC for PD. i mean, ihow wdo i know what the basic commands are to choose between Unit generators and input variables for amplitude/frequency? I mean, where do i start! If anyone know of a tutorial or something that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
aren't there help patches in the OSC external. you need OSCdump and OSCroute.

check the /doc directory in the farmersmanual version. it has an example patch that shows you how to use OSC. it's really quite simple: set up a send object with a port number to send packets to, and a receive object with the IP address of the the send object's machine

OSC works in Pd, Max, SuperCollider and other software (even Flash and Director). That seems to be reason enough for most to choose OSC over netsend/receive.
