# Protocols and Devices: network, OSC, MIDI, and audio

> Connect Relay to your production environment through OSC, MIDI, LAN sharing, audio metering, and transcription tools.

Relay supports a range of protocols and network features that let your dashboard communicate with the rest of your production environment.

In `Relay 1.1.0`, the incoming MIDI and OSC setup experience is centered in `Relay > Settings > External Control`, where you can monitor messages live while building automations.
