# OSC

In addition to MIDI, another way to get information in and out of Sonic Pi is via the network using a simple protocol called OSC - Open Sound Control. This will let you send messages to and from external programs (both running on your computer and on external computers) which opens up the potential for control way beyond MIDI which has limitations due to its 1980s design.

例えば, OSCを送受信するプログラムを別の言語で書いてSonicPiと直接つなげて動かすことができます(多くの言語にはOSCのライブラリがあります)。 これをどう使うかはみなさんの想像次第というわけです。
