Re: Help with Csound Controller project

It might be easier to do this by adding open sound control into csound5, I
know its supported by other soft synths like pd and reason, but that would
make it veryeasy to write a control app in pure python, doing it in c++
would be a lot harder, its better to put that effort into adding OSC
support into csound5, and then write the controller app in python instead,
using the python OSC library.
