Osc access to modules

Hello,

I want to know a few more about OSC in Modul8.

Osc is able to talk with Modul8 keywords only.

So is it possible to add some keywords in Modul8? It will be a way to access to variables which are in modules. It is possible with MIDI, so why not with OSC ??

All my best,

Midi is implemented in the core of modul8, like the key system.
OSC is managed by a module wich links different recieved keywords to their equivalent in modul8. As you might have noticed, it's not possible to send messages from a module to another. Sorry.

Ok... But what I need is to add a possibilitie to command a button of a module which is not associated with a keyword...
So I want to create a keyword eg : ctrl_layer_mymessage and this will be associeted with a button ont ht module interface.

I hope I'm clear,

For exemple if I add something like that in a module

if 'buttonTest' ==1:
print '(Bravo)'

How to trigg it with an OSC message? It's with a keywords, but I hav to create one for that, something like ctl_layer_button-test Am I wrong?

On the wish list for the M8-V3, an access by udp/osc for the things we create in modules will be usefull for me ..
It will maybe the dynamicly creation of keywords when you create a module.

I create a module with a button, and the name of the button is MyButton, so I can access to it with the message : /md8key/ctrl_modules_MyButton

Do you think it will be possible?

Is there a topic with information about V3?

best,

V3 is still too far to write a post about it... give a chance to 2.6 2.7 2.8 etc. :wink:

Are you saying that this issue could be done for M8 v2.6 ??

Maybe could we add a prefix like userkey, and not md8key. So it could be like that for a button in a module :

Code: Select all

/userkey/ctrl_modulename_MyButtonname
