sending custom OSC messages with Tidal (or rather, hosc)
TidalCycles communicates with its audio engine (normally SuperDirt) via OSC. message construction and socket I/O is handled behind the scenes, freeing the musician from having to think about it. but sometimes you may want to send custom, one-shot OSC messages from the Tidal environment. maybe you want to activate a complex effects chain in SuperCollider, or tell a visualizer to change scenes, or something, without leaving the Tidal code window.
