Are there any simple VST hosts that accept Open Sound Control?

Question

I'm not looking for anything fancy. Not a DAW or sequencer. Just a wrapper that will let me pipe messages coming from my controller via Open Sound Control to one of my plugins.

Ah, I forgot to mention, I was looking or something in Windows. Also I wanted an actual host. Not just just to turn OSC into, say, MIDI. — interstar, Jan 13 '15 at 11:34

The only solution I can think of is routing an OSC-MIDI bridge like OscVstBridge (SourceForge) to a plain VST host like Cantabile Performer and SAVIHost.

That would be nice if you could share the result or your solution.

Note: You may make use of this list of free VST Hosts.

You could try Pedalboard 2. It's a very simple VST host which is capable of receiving OSC messages. Additionally, it offers an auto-learn capability, that detects the messages so you can pair them easily with your VST controls.
