The types are designed to support low-level data types that are well suited for numbers, text, audio, video and 3D. Think in terms of 32bit integers, floats and vertex arrays.</p> <p>Plugins can be loaded at runtime at which time the descriptor is used to expose the functionality to the UI and other API's such as C, Java, Python and the <span>[OSC_Schema]</span>. </p></div>Shane SaxonThu, 31 Jan 2013 06:10:04 -0000https://sourceforge.net9a4a0c4b98b3d5ab3d46d281c70fc984d626cff1
