send a variety of control messages between OSC enabled devices. OSC input is supported
on every console in the Hog 4 family including Hog 4 PC. When configured properly OSC will
enable you to use controllers such as a synthesizers, electronic music instruments,
production audio software, and mobile phone apps such as Touch OSC to control the basic
functions of the Hog 4 OS.

output port of your OSC output device. For your convenience the console's IP address
is also listed to the right of the port number to assist in configuring the output of your
other OSC devices.
