| The Csound API is not limited to k-rate in/out channels. It gives you
full access to Csound components and data streams to all rates (the
Csound command itself is actually writen as a process using the API). I
see OSC as a valuable and more versatile alternative to MIDI. The Csound
API has a different and larger field of application than OSC even if, as
you show it, they can share some features.
