Topic: OSC Syntax

I am back revisiting some controllers of TotalMix now that I have some AVB units and need some assistance with forming the correct message syntax.

The communication is all working as I am able to mute input channels, control monitor dim's etc, but I am wishing to be able to control level and mutes on Playback and Output channels as well as MuteGroups. For exampleUsing /muteGroups/4/1 1 doesn't manage to do anything. The XLS doc of the OSC schema seems clear enough, but I think there maybe a page missing as there is no information on the banking (ie that I need to prepend a /1 for the first bank of 48)

Any help would be appreciated,

Cheers, Tony.

I think you have to put the page number first from the excel document.. try   /3/muteGroups/4/1

Perfect, thanks ebulb. Works as described.

Is there anyway to address playback and output channels through OSC like we can input channels?

Re: OSC Syntax

yes there are OSC addresses that change between input, playback and output to control each row of Totalmix.. have a look at the excel file, i think its called busOuput... if you have a tablet a good option is get an OSC app that has a Totalmix layout already made and then you can look at the file to understand all the syntax.. a good app for this is OSCAR..

Re: OSC Syntax

Thanks bulb,

I grabbed a Lemur template and connected it to MaxMSP and now have a much better understanding of the syntax - thanks for the suggestion.

From what I can see, each volume command needs to be preceded by a /1/bus*** command to direct the volume command to the input / playback or output channel rows.
