Hi Folks,
Has anyone that is working with a lemur/modul8 OSC template managed to get the active layer feedback to work correctly?

I've managed to get all layers activating and deactivating with OSC and showing the relevant active layer in lemur by using some action scripts, except for Layer 10 which gets switched on in lemur by any OSC layer stack message.
I send this OSC message from lemur=
RECEIVE : [['/md8key/ctrl_layerStack_focusPosition/2', ',f', 2.0]]

and receive this back=
SEND ['/md8key/ctrl_layerStack_focusPosition/10', ',i', 2]
SEND ['/md8key/ctrl_layerStack_focusPosition/-1', ',i', 2]

Which results in the layer 10 button in lemur being switched on. Can anyone shed any light on whats going on with the 10 and -1? and what is the i? very confusing.

I've had similar issues with midi turning layers on/off. Although the mapping looks correct I find duplicate layers being made visible. I might have a other look and see if I can do it with a blank template and just a couple of maps.
Maybe you've just confirmed a bug though.

Hi, I haven't been able to get osc feedback to lemur, yet if you could please explain the steps it would be much appreciated.

Since we are already on the subject, I was midi mapping my lemur templates, actually LTs quickFX ( great modules by the way!) to finish off my setup and encountered that I couldn't get past the midi signal 127. Is this a Modul8 limit or is it Lemurs? Any idea how to resolve this?

you'll need to start mapping more midi on a different channel if you have reached 127 midi controls, there's 16 to choose from. For the OSc to feedback you will need to set the ports and ip addresses up correctly in osc global module, and in lemur's settings. hope this helps

Hi, thanks for your response.
That means we have 16 x 127 right? 127 per channel? That is how it works?

Ok, not sure how osc global module works, never have understood it. Will try and will ask for your help! If there is thread on this subject, please post it here to follow.. anyone!?

Gracias hermano!

Hi,
Midi goes from 0 to 127, so 128 values, *16 channels, so 2048 different signal values.
Every note or control change or else has a channel value e.g., 2/43 (value 43 of channel 2)

Regarding osc global module, here's what I know and have experienced :

in the left pat of the window 'keyword listener', when you get it active, it will show your local IP (M8 machine) and the used port for listening (receiving) OSC messages, usually 8002.
in the right part of the window 'keyword sender', you must enter Lemur local IP and a network port, usually 8000. This port is the port used by M8 to send OSC feedback.
in the lower part there's a checking box (print log in script output '. Then in the menu Modules/Script/Show script output, it monitor what ocs is going in and out and it helps a lot.

You have to set your Lemur the right way, sending osc on 8002 and listening on 8000.
It's a bit confusing in the beginning but quite simple to use.
Some OSC software seems not to use the same grammar, I have to investigate.

I hope It will help you to go next step !

Mil gracias hermano!
Tons of thanks!

This is what I love about this forum: modul8 community is always helping out each other!

There's another thread about OSC going on right now. I talk about different way of addressing with OSC here: viewtopic.php?t=8192&p=23845#p23845.
When using Modul8's OSC module you must send Modul8 keywords from the Lemur. Other some other Vj softwares will listen to any OSC command, kind of like with MIDI in Modul8.

Thanks, will check it out!!
