In this article I’ll show you how to use your Android mobile phone or tablet to control your guitar or keyboard effects (or any other instrument effects) by using OSC in Gig Performer.
Gig Performer, our audio plugin host for live performance, supports full OSC implementation. See here how Gig Performer compares to other audio plugin hosts. There are many features unique to Gig Performer, such as ChordPro support, Ableton Link integration, and OSC support.
OSC (Open Sound Control) is a protocol for communication among various multimedia devices and applications, with a particular focus on applications used by artists and performers. In Gig Performer you can associate OSC names with plugins and widgets and then send messages to them from any remote device, such as Android phone or tablet, iPhone, iPad or other laptop to control their operation.
Every parameter available in your VST, VST3 and AU plugin (if you’re on macOS) can be controlled by widgets in Gig Performer, and every widget can be controlled just with a tap of or sliding your fingers on your favorite mobile phone via OSC protocol. Other OSC capable devices, like various digital mixers for example, can be controlled directly from Gig Performer using widgets and OSC. Gig Performer’s proprietary programming language (GPScript) also supports the OSC protocol.
