ossia score is a free, open-source interactive sequencer for audio-visual artists, designed to create interactive shows, installations, and intermedia artworks. It sequences OSC, MIDI, DMX, audio, and video across multiple software and hardware, with embedded scripting via JavaScript, Faust, PureData, ISF shaders, and C++.
Use cases
- sequence audio, video, OSC, MIDI and DMX for an interactive show
- create museum installations that react to sensors and external events
- live-code visuals and audio with JavaScript, Faust shaders, or PureData
- control Max/MSP, PureData, openFrameworks or Processing from a timeline
- build branching, state-machine-like scores triggered by hardware input
- run a media server on a Raspberry Pi for embedded installations
- bridge IoT devices over MQTT, CoAP, or BLE in an art piece
When to choose
- you need a timeline-based sequencer for interactive multimedia shows
- you want to coordinate many protocols (OSC, MIDI, DMX, MQTT, CoAP, BLE, HTTP) from one tool
- you need branching/conditional scenarios rather than a fixed linear timeline
- you want a free, cross-platform alternative to tools like Isadora or TroikaTronix
- you need to run on embedded hardware like Raspberry Pi
When to avoid
- you only need a DAW for music production without interactive/intermedia control
- you want a pure programming library rather than a GUI application (consider libossia instead)
- you need a lightweight headless automation tool without a visual editor
- your workflow is strictly linear video editing
