Hi Rob,

I would say that you definitely don't need to read up on networking to understand OSC. It might actually just confuse you to do so.

The wikipedia entry might be a good jump off point.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Sound_Control

I think with OSC though it helps to first phrase the question, "What are you trying to do or connect" Then there are probably some good examples out there to try.

I would certainly help with any questions you might have.

Cheers,
Chris

BTW..a video I made of using OSC with Kyma got posted as well on CDM today.

I have read the wiki entry, but I definitely need to read it again a few times.

I would like to start with controlling Kyma using TouchOSC on my iPod. I have already done this using OSCulator, but I like to control a large amount of parameters with the iPod using the dual EQ presets (two rows of faders). Needless to say this takes a while to set up manually, so anything that's faster than that is a plus.

I have used a wifi router located in an other room for the TouchOSC + OSCulator combo, but it loses connection frequently enough to not be very useful. I have also run out of ethernet connections on this router, but will try a temporary wired connection to the Paca when I have time, to test it out.

I am sure that with time I will get it to work, but the iPod wifi seems to me not very stable, even when in close proximation to the wifi point. My knowledge about networks is a little scetchy, so I need to read up on this too.

The router isn't even connected to the internet, it is just a cheap router bought on amazon and it has made life so easy for me! The connection seems very stable as well now - I might even consider the iPad if it stays this stable...
