Topic: How to address output channel for OSC reverbReturn

TMFX with all output channels' fx return faders all the way down. No channels are marked hidden in the Channel Layout.

send /setSubmix 0 and /setOffsetInBank 0

TMFX sends all the /2/ values including /2/labelSubmix "Main"

I send /2/reverbReturn 1.0 but the FX return fader on Main stays all the way down

TMFX sends /2/reverbReturnVal 0 dB as if something was controlled somewhere, but all of the green fx return faders stay all the way down

I move the Main FX return fader and TMFX doesn't send anything

I send /2/reverbSend 1.0 and one of the hardware inputs fx send faders moves all the way up and TMFX sends  /2/reverbSendVal 0 dB

Interestingly, when I reload my snapshot, TMFX sends /2/reverbReturn 0 and /2/reverbReturnVal -oo as if restoring some invisible value somewhere

So I can communicate, and reverbSend works as expected but reverbReturn doesn't.

I find it confusing that reverbSend and reverbReturn are both on page 2 even though one is a property of the input channel and one of the output channel. I guess page 2 corresponds to 'currently selected (input or playback) and output channels'?

Re: How to address output channel for OSC reverbReturn

The missing piece was the critical, but unexplained, /2/busOutput message.

/setSubmix 0            # unnecessary? Outputs channels are each their own submix.
/2/busOutput            #  move page 2 focus to the output section of channels
/setBankStart 0        # select output 0 as the focus for page 2 messages, and also sets the bank start for page 1 focus
/2/reverbReturn 0.5  # now it is possible to set the value


if I send

/1/busInput
/2/busOutput
/setBankStart 2

then page 1 focus is on a bank starting at the third input channels and page 2 focus is on the third output channel?

Re: How to address output channel for OSC reverbReturn

if I send
/1/busInput
/2/busOutput
/setBankStart 2
then page 1 focus is on a bank starting at the third input channels and page 2 focus is on the third output channel?

1)
i assume, you are sending always float values?

sth like this?:
/1/busInput f 1.0
/2/busOutput f 1.0
/setBankStart f 2.0


2)
afaik the first command (/1/busInput f 1.0) is unneccesary. If i remember right, TM selects the last busXYZ command (in your example comand 2: /2/busOutput f 1.0) for Page 2 AND 1.

So, the following would be correct, if i may to use your question:
then page 1 focus is on a bank starting at the third output channel and page 2 focus is on the third output channel.


3)
if you want to set reverbReturn to max and reverbSend to max for channel 3 for example, i would send sth like this:

/setBankStart f 2.0
/2/busInput f 1.0
/2/reverbSend f 1.0
/2/busOutput f 1.0
/2/reverbReturn f 1.0
