AboutAZ Accessible OSC (AOSC) is an Open Sound Control (
http://opensoundcontrol.org/) client for Windows operation system.
The interface is implemented using standard widgets and all functions are optimized for computer keyboard only control, making it accessible in terms of MSAA.
Current version is distributed with layout for RME TotalMix which will be loaded automatically. But the layout is defined in XML format and can be modified for other purpose.
AuthorsThe idea to develop this utility comes from Can Kirca (cankirca at gmail.com). We have developed it together using his RME interface.

http://www.azslow.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=downfile&id=522. Unpack it into user writable directory. There is no installer, the executable azaosc.exe is the program to run. If you move it, please do not forget to put azaosc.xml layout file into the same place.

4. Enable OSC in TotalMix.
5. Start azaosc.exe.

FunctionalityThe interface consist of the navigation tree and current page with parameters, if it is selected in the navigation tree. The focus is initially in the communication status label.
In the navigation tree each entry is a page. Pages can have controls and sub pages. If current page has controls, you can switch to these controls with tab. You can always return to the navigation tree pressing Ctrl+1.
There are 3 types of control. Check boxes, buttons (currently also check boxes) and faders.
Check boxes ask TotalMix to change some binary parameter, such as Solo, Mute, etc. and indicate current state of that parameter.
Buttons ask TotalMix to execute some action, for example change channel bank. Corresponding check box is always unchecked.
Faders control continuous values. In OSC, all values are between 0 and 1. For example centered Pan has value 0.5 . Real meaning for current value is normally indicated in the label, but during changing you will hear slider position between 0 and 100. So to check real value, shortly move focus to different control so screen reader pronounce updated label. Value can be entered directly. If you first press Enter, you can edit current value. Otherwise you can just type new value. You can also use usual keys for faders, including arrows, page up, page down, home and end.
