Sound controlled by OSC data

Basically I needed to learn about the OSC protocol. A protocol is basically a language used by computers to communicate with each other. mrmr and this application I'm demonstrating on my Droid uses OSC to trasnmit button/touch information through UDP to a specified IP address and port. In this case, the set IP is my computer and the port it will be receiving these messages from is 37197 (this can be set to any). I'm going to use Max 5.1 and once again control sound pitch using OSC data sent by my Droid. Max contains an object that can read and listen to data and I programmed it to listen on port 37197 for data from my phone. From there Max decodes the information into readable text and numbers and you can program it to do certain actions based on what numbers it's receiving.
