SendOSC Keyword

Table of contents of this topic

Description
Syntax
Examples

To enter the SendOSC keyword in the command line, use one of the options:

Type SendOSC
Type the shortcut Sen

Description

The SendOSC keyword is a command keyword used to send an OSC command.

Syntax

SendOSC [ID] "/[OSCAddress],[OSC Type],[Value]"

The supported types are:

Int(i)
Float(f)
Blob(b)
String(s)
True(T)
False(F)
Null(N)
Impulse(I)
Timetag(t)

It is not necessary to set a value (Payload) for:

True
False
Null
Impulse
Timetag

Hint:
When using the OSC types True, False, Nil/Null, Impulse and Timetag it is not necessary to enter a value.

Hint:
Several values can be sent at once when separating them with commas.

Important:
When addressing an executor, a page must be specified as well.

Instead of using page and executor numbers it is also possible to address them by name.
When addressing executor keys, a value of 0 will be interpreted as not pressed. Values greater 0 will be interpreted as button press.

If a prefix is specified for an OSCData entry, then this very prefix will be added to the sent string when using the OSCSend command.

Hint:
The supported OSC types to control faders, executor knobs, and buttons are: Integer32, Float32, True, False and Nil/Null.
A True will be interpreted as 1, while a False will be interpreted as 0.

Hint:
The addresses defined for Page, Fader, ExecutorKnob, and Key are case-sensitive.

Examples

To send an OSC command using the first configuration in the OSC menu with integer value 50 to fader 201 on page 1, type:

User name[Fixture]> SendOSC 1 "/Page1/Fader201,i,50"

To send an OSC command using the first configuration in the OSC menu with integer value 100 to fader 201 on page 1 and a fade time of 5s, type:

User name[Fixture]> SendOSC 1 "/Page1/Fader201,ii,100,5"

To send commands via OSC to a second grandMA3 station, the OSC address /cmd can be used. To store cue 1 via OSC, type:

User name[Fixture]> SendOSC 1 "/cmd,s,Store Cue 1"
