I am not familiar with OSC. netsend might be easier. What kind of input does it take? About writing an external PD object: the processing core of tapiir is really small, and it would be a piece of cake to make an external PD object out of it. But I suppose that you are especially interested in keeping the tapiir GUI, right? Maarten
