This repository also contains several useful sample projects and helper tools such as ‘ MIDI OSCQuery Helper’ and ‘ OSCQuery Helper’ which can be used to enable OSCQuery capabilities in apps that already support MIDI or OSC. Our open source implementation of OSCQuery is available for developers looking to support the protocol in their own software. The intent of this goal is to provide baseline functionality that other developers may take advantage of to construct impromptu or improvisational interfaces for dynamic environments. In collaboration with several other developers, OSCQuery is an extension to the already popular OSC specification, the OSCQuery Protocol makes it possible for client applications to remotely browse a remote OSC address space.

Artists can get started with ISF using the online editor or Mac desktop editor. ISF based shaders now can be used in a handful of VJ softwares, as well as with OpenFrameworks and on the web. Developers looking to add ISF support to their Mac and iOS can applications can find example code in the ISFKit portion of VVOpenSource. Interactive Shader Format (aka ISF) is an open format for GLSL based video generators and image filters that we created for use in VDMX. Related to this, our free AVFBatchExporter Mac app utility for converting movies into Hap and other standard formats is also open source.

Today Hap is supported cross-platform by over 20 different applications and creative coding environments. The Hap video codecs are an open standard for high performance movie playback originally created in collaboration with Tom Butterworth. This project also contains several example applications such as the OSCTestApp and MIDIviaOSC tools that are also useful for non-developers. In particular you can find the code for our MIDI, OSC and OpenGL backends to use in your own Mac and iOS apps.

Much of the low level code for VDMX can be found in the VVOpenSource project which is maintained by our own Ray Cutler.
