Description

For more information see Remote In and Out.

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 separated by 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.
