[ros-users] Connecting ROS to a software (music) synthesiser?

[Raymond Sheh]

Hi Michael,


Thanks for your reply! Funnily enough I ran into your old project right 
when your email came in and was wondering if it might well solve my 
problems.

I'm still going through the relevant docs so I'm asking the following 
with an incomplete understanding but I was wondering if your thoughts 
may help short circuit my thinking a little.

I'm planning on using a chunk of Python to aggregate the ROS messages 
I'm interested in and figure out what sounds to play. It's sounding like 
Supercollider is the way to go to actually generate the sounds. Would 
there be an advantage to keeping things in ROS and using ROSOSC to talk 
to Supercollider, versus using Python's OSC interface to talk out to 
Supercollider directly?


Cheers!

- Raymond
