Good evening, Wouldn’t it be nice to list in this post softwares able to interprate open sound control messages sent by sonic pi (and others) Thanks for your help ! ---

Over the years I have used: processing eg [Frere Jaques with processing visualisation](http://in-thread.sonic-pi.net/t/frere-jaques-with-processing-visualisation/564) p5.js eg [Sonic Pi visualiser written in P5.js](http://in-thread.sonic-pi.net/t/sonic-pi-visualiser-written-in-p5-js/1237) (this one also used TouchOSC as a controller) visor.live eg [Sonic Pi plays musical box on visor.live](http://in-thread.sonic-pi.net/t/sonic-pi-plays-musical-box-on-visor-live/2309) ---

visorlive seems to be pretty good. Do you know if we can handle jpg pictures ? after downloading it, the help doesn’t mention OSC capabilities. ---

As far as I know it doesn’t have OSC support out of the box @nlb (I haven’t seen if there’s a more recent version since I downloaded it earlier this year however). My guess is that it would be a matter of writing a few lines of code into a tab to tell Visor to start listening for OSC messages, in a similar way that you would do in Processing. As for images, no idea. Maybe someone else has played with it a little more than I have and might know? 🤷‍♂️ ---

Oops yes you are right. I used midi for this visualiser. However it is fairly easy to use just using midi\_cc paramters. As ethan says howver since it is processing based I think you should be able to add the necessary libraries to use OSC. It hasn;t been updated for some time, but I hope there will be further improved versions. It is quite resurce hungry. PS I’ve also used TouchViz, the companion app to ToucOSC to produce some visuals [My first video effort using Sonic Pi and TouchVIZ](http://in-thread.sonic-pi.net/t/my-first-video-effort-using-sonic-pi-and-touchviz/1440) ---

Well i understand i have to type processing command into tab and then execute. I don’t know Processing at all… It’s never too late 🙂 it’s a bit hard to find the good syntax and the methods… the help is not as good as that of Sonicpi i will have a look at @robin.newman scripts. ---

Yes it has quite a steep learning curve. There are one or two videos of it in operation which are worth watching as you can see the code in them.
