Topic: OSC commands for Talkback / Record

Hi all,


I'm trying to achieve the following for TotalMixFX together with companion in order to operate 2 things within TotalMix FX.

1) toggle the Talkback Button
2) start and stop recording (DURec)

In Companion I have setup a generic OSC connection to port 7001. Since Companion is running locally, the IP has been set to 127.0.0.1 (other OSC commands to other software is working).

From the excel file I think I would need 'mainTalkback' for toggling the TB button and 'recordRecordStart' and 'recordStop' to either start or stop recording.

With all this in place I still have no luck getting this to work.

Anyone who can shed some light on this for me?

Regards, Joey

Re: OSC commands for Talkback / Record

i think you need to add the page number from the excel file at the start of the OSC address..  for example....  /1/mainTalkback

a good way to reference addresses is look at other existing OSC layouts in their editors... such as the touchOSC or OSCar layouts...

Hi @ebulb,

Thanks for this, indeed a very good reference. It confirms I was looking into the right direction as I had tried this already with the page number. As the recording functions would be /3/...

In the Touch OSC template for talkback it shows /1/mainTalkback x

Unfortunately still no luck getting it to work.

Hi,

For anyone interested to achieve the same, reading the comments page in the OSC table I found the solution. See image.

Unfortunately the recordStop doesn't seem to work, but I have the TB and recordStart working. EDIT I was under the impression that I could stop the recording, but it is the 'stop' for playback. Makes sense.

Re: OSC commands for Talkback / Record

Hi Everyone,

I’ve been looking for a way to lit op a light when the talkback button on the arc use is pressed (or the attached footswitch).
Chat GPT keeps sending me in circles so hopefully can tell me IF it’s possible, and HOW?
By reading Joey Buddenberg post is IS possible, but with companion 4.3.4 things changed and I'm comlpletely lost haha.


Would be very much appreciated!!

Thanks!

Bob
