Includes bibliographical references (leaves 144-147). Professional audio equipment is migrating towards general purpose computers running professional audio software systems such as Virtual Studio Technology [VST) and VST plugins that have been adopted as an informal standard for audio and MIDI plugins. The proliferation of computer networks has facilitated sharing and distributing musical content over networked technology and has benefits of allowing multiple, simultaneous, remote access to audio resources, it allows processing and computer hardware resources to be distributed amongst many computers and therefore has potential for VST processing farms, and facilities location independent musical collaborations. Open Sound Control is an open high-level application protocol developed to facilitate modern networked communications amongst audio processing units like VST plugins. OSC has been suggested as a successor to MIDI addressing its shortcomings in its design. This dissertation presents a prototype VST plugin called OscVstBridge that bridges the network isolated VST plugin and VST host to the OSC network domain. The prototype facilitates modern, high speed, networked, musical control communications amongst VST audio processes. OSC is an open protocol allowing OscVstBridge to communicate between VST systems from different vendors furthering inter-operability of audio and musical system and promotes standardisation. 2015-01-04T14:31:17Z 2015-01-04T14:31:17Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11267 eng application/pdf Department of Information Systems Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town
