Expert Sleepers OSC Control v1.0.0 - Manual (Page 4)

OSC
Most Expert Sleepers plug-ins can be controlled via the Open Sound Control (OSC) proto-
col. Refer to the user manual of the individual plug-ins for information on their particular
OSC implementation.
If you’re new to OSC, start by visiting opensoundcontrol.org .
Two settings control what port the plug-in uses to listen on for OSC com-
mands. One is the base OSC port, set in the plug-in’s preferences window.
The second is the OSC Port Offset control. If the port offset is set to some-
thing other than ‘Off’, then the two numbers are added together and the
result used as the port number. E.g. if the base port is 6000 and the port off-
set is 1, then the plug-in will listen on port 6001.
Received OSC Commands
In the documentation below, OSC parameters are prefixed with a string to indicate their
type, as follows:
•
s - string
• i - integer
• f - float
• b - boolean
All the examples assume that the plug-in is listening at address 10.0.0.1:6001.
/ping s:returnUrl s:returnPath
Responds by sending a message back to the returnUrl and returnPath with the parameters
s:hosturl s:version
E.g.
/ping osc.udp://10.0.0.2:7000 “/foo”
replies to 10.0.0.2:7000 with
/foo osc.udp://10.0.0.1:6001 “<plug-in name> <plug-in version>”
E.g.
/foo osc.udp://10.0.0.1:6001 “oomingmak 1.0.0”
/set i:param f:value
Sets the value of parameter ‘param’ to ‘value’.
/get i:param s:returnUrl s:returnPath
Responds by sending a message back to the returnUrl and returnPath with the parameters
