Birdhouse

With BirdHouse you can receive OSC messages with a DAW or plugin host and have them converted to MIDI.

The Birdhouse OSC to MIDI plugin is a simple plugin that listens for OSC messages, processes their data and sends outputs it as MIDI to allow using it in a DAW or other plugin host environment. Each instance of Birdhouse is able to process a stream of OSC messages to a MIDI event type, with a visualization of the stream and the ability to mute/unmute the output data.

Features

• Convert OSC to MIDI inside any DAW or plugin host
• Realtime-processing of the incoming OSC messages
