• Intermedia sequencer. Organizes various types of content on an intelligent timeline. Supports multichannel audio formats, H.264/HAP video playback with advanced pipeline, and communication via OSC, MIDI, DMX, HTTP, and serial port.
• IoT systems control. Integration with CoAP, MQTT, and BLE protocols for interaction with Internet of Things devices. Allows monitoring and remote control of connected equipment.
• Advanced interaction facilities. Specifically designed for interactive shows. Triggers score sections based on external conditions or physical controls through an optimized interface.
• Visual branching creation. Implements conditional logic to generate non-linear structures. Flow decisions can depend on external inputs or internal timings.
• Programmable software. Incorporates multiple languages: JavaScript for advanced mappings, Faust for audio processing, mathematical expressions for quick control, and C++ API for extensions.
• Modular workflow. Switches between timeline and nodal views without restrictions. Groups and nests elements with no depth limit to organize complex projects.
• State machines. Creates timeless scenarios through transitions between states. Each state contains its own parameter configuration and associated events.
• Cross-platform support. Video pipeline and shaders compatible with various operating systems. Guarantees visual consistency across different execution environments.
• Supported protocols. Implements MIDI, OSC, Spout, Syphon, Arduino, DMX, HTTP, WebSockets, Phidgets, NDI, Gamepad, Wiimote, C|24, MQTT, CoAP, and BLE through a unified interface.
• Integration with creative environments. Connects with MadMapper, modul8, Millumin, Max/MSP, PureData, OpenFrameworks, Processing, VDMX, VVVV, Faust, Unity3D, Unreal Engine, glslViewer, and OpenCV.
• Standard connectivity. Operates via traditional OSC connection or OSCQuery protocol for enhanced functionality. Allows direct integration via libossia in custom environments.
• Real-time processing. Executes low-latency audio algorithms through Faust integration. Maintains precise synchronization between all multimedia elements.

The Ossia Score project began in 2014 as a research initiative in musical interaction. Developed primarily in C++ with Qt for interface components, the core libossia library provides the cross-platform communication layer. The team continues to expand capabilities with regular updates incorporating new protocols and performance optimizations.
