OSCtoMIDI is a plugin (VSTi / AU) that adds OSC support to your favorite DAW.
It converts incoming OSC messages into generated MIDI.
Mapping rules, network connection, and native mapping — all saved with your DAW project.
So you can now receive OSC messages without needing an extra bridge application or Ableton Live's Max for Live.
And combined with virtual loopback MIDI ports (loopMIDI on windows, Apple's virtual midi on macOS) and some clever routing, you can even control your DAW using OSC messages!
Tested with Ableton Live and Cubase. But it should work on any DAW supporting VST3 or AU plugins.
Available for Windows macOS and Linux
- a full rule editor (MIDI message, OSC address, value scaling)
- a Learn mode to capture an OSC message directly from the source
- native mapping shortcuts for common cases (Note On/Off, CC, Pitch Bend, Program Change) without creating a rule
- up to 128 custom rules
- Flexible network setup: configurable UDP port, local or remote IP sending
- Available as AU, VST3, and Standalone, on macOS, Windows, and Linux
OSCtoMIDI runs as a Donationware:
Unfortunately, I’m not able to work for free anymore...
So OSCtoMIDI comes in a demo version, fully functional but pausing every 20 minutes with a pop-up asking for a donation through PayPal. Closing the pop-up reactivates the plugin until the next pause.
I'm asking for a minimum of 15EUR.
If paypal doesn't support donations through this system in your country, you can use this link: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/DesignedByOM
Once done, you will receive a license key that will stop the pop-up from appearing in future.
The license key is personal but with a permanent validity and can be use on several computers.
I'll need your email address to send you the key, so please make sure it's visible in your PayPal profile, or send me a private message.
