Madmapper, OSC and Presets

I'm trying to control my presets in Madmapper using Vezer or Qlab so that I can control both Madmapper and Milluming in the same cue. Somehow I'm not getting the results I want. I/O ports are set correctly because I can control opacity no problems but I can't seem to change presets using the following OSC commands:

PRESETS

/presets/select

/presets/previous

/presets/next


For instance, if I want to use /presets/next what would the adress and argument to trigger this commands?

/presets/next

or
/presets/next
 1
or
/presets/next
 1.0

What about if I want to use /presets/[presetName] andmy preset name is Cue 1? Would the address be:

/presets/Cue 1
or
/presets/Cue1

Also, is there any kind of documentation on how to use the Control List menu?

to change presets you need to send two messages, one with value 0.0 and one with value 1.0… madmapper will ignore a message that has the same value as the last one

Thanks Sigmasix but I tried that and any other possible combination and I'm not able to get a consistent connection between any of OSC controller and Madmapper.

The weird thing is that if I use an address like /master/fadeToBlack with a timeline in Vezer with a float from 0 to 1, it works perfect and i get exactly what I want so I know the IP and ports are right.

This morning I created a patch in Milluplug and I was able to use /presets/select with integers from 1 to 4 to switch between 4 presets when I switch columns in my Millumin comp but all of a sudden it doesn't work! And I still can't get the /presets/previous
 or /presets/next
 or /preset/[presetName] to work at all!

Any other thoughts?

Did you test the preset selection within the same composition in Vezer where you checked out the fadeToBlack parameter working? As I found, MadMapper do not show a notice when it cannot start it's OSC server, so if anything goes wrong, for example an other software holds down the port you won't be notified.

/presets/next and /presets/previous works for me using integer type. You need to use /presets/Cue 1 instead of /presets/Cue1.
