    OSC Global Module

    by Finn » Sun Apr 17, 2011 4:56 pm

    Can TouchOSC controls be directly mapped to Modul8 via OSC(global) module without programming each control? I know I can use Oscalator, but there seems to be a more direct way. I am not an expert at midi or osc and need help.

    Unfortunately using OSC and the OSC module is not as easy as using MIDI.

    Using the TouchOSC app you need to enter the keyword of the control in Modul8 that you want to use. Here is a sample of a keyword for controlling a standard 'pad' in TouchOSC:

    /md8key/ctrl_layer_media/1

    'ctrl_layer_media' is for setting a media to a layer.

    '1' is for specifying the layer you want to set media to.

    In the 'Value Range' you specify the media you want to set to the layer with your pad. 0 for the first media in the media set, 1 for the second and so on.

    Thanks for your prompt answer

    OK. I understand. Is there a list of Modul8 commands available?

    ongoing touchosc saga

    by Finn » Tue May 03, 2011 5:17 am

    Well, things have progressed, and believe it or not I now have the Feedback Sender of the OSC Global module sending osc commands to Touchosc template, but I am unable to get the Touchosc controller (Ipad) to control M8. I know this is idiotic: ports ore the same (tried many variations) IP addresses are good. What am I missing?

    You have different ports for sending and receiving, right?
    And TouchOSC is receiving from the port that M8 is sending from and vice versa?

    you cannot use the same port for the input and ouput OSC messages.
    the Global OSC module, let you choose these ports but the module itself selects the local IP.
    in some confirguration you can encounter an ip issue especially when you are connected through Ethernet for instance, the wifi local ip is bypassed by the module and the Ethernet IP address is chosen instead. be Sure that your local ip is the same as your wifi IP

    with touchOSC you also have to enter the same IP (of the same connection type, I assume that you previously connected to the wifi network with your Ipad).

    so here are some tips:
    1 - unplug your ethernet cable if this cable is connected to a internet router
    2- create your own local wifi network (for instance M8network)
    3- connect your ipad to this new wifi network then open touchOSC

    I have developed some working code for mapping OSC (which strays away from the ethos of OSC a bit). However, this new OSC mod is not quite ready yet, but listen out for it.

    yes, get the OSC message sent by modul8 by clicking the "print log on the script outout" checkbox on the OSC(golbal module) then paste the message on the OSC field on your TouchOSC editor

    all modul8 master and layer based keywordd are interpreted by the OSC(global) module. this module sends OSC message with this prefix /md8key/
    for instance if you wan to add a crossfader control message type:

    Code: Select all

    /md8key/ctrl_master_crossfader_slider/0
