to 7000 (the default) and the Port is set to 1, then the plug-in listens on port 7001.
Setting up the controlling device
The device/application sending OSC to the Learner needs to know the computer’s IP ad-
dress, and the port as defined above. How you enter that information depends on the
sender. For example,
describes the setup in TouchOSC on iPhone.
On Mac OS X only, Silent Way Learner supports ‘Bonjour’ (aka ZeroConf). When OSC is
activated, it advertises itself on the network so that apps can browse for it and set up the
connection with a single click. This is the preferred setup method with TouchOSC.
Setting up controllers
The controlling app should be set up to send the parameter paths as defined above, fol-
lowed by a single floating point number, which is the value to which to set the parameter.
OSC Message History
The Learner shows the last
five OSC messages re-
ceived in its GUI (most
recent at the bottom). All
messages received are
shown, even those not
recognised by the Learner
(though note that /t3d
messages for the
are not shown).
Each line shows the OSC path, followed by the list of parameters in the OSC message.
Each parameter is preceded by its type (e.g. ‘float32’).
Sending OSC
Silent Way Learner can also send OSC whenever parameters are changed,
allowing for bidirectional communication with a remote device.
To enable this, set the “Send” drop-down to something other than “Off”.
The options are Long, Compact and Short - choose the one that corresponds
to the form of the OSC path you want to send. Note that for bidirectional control, this
should correspond to the form of the path that the remote device is sending to the Learner.
