Hummel Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I'm trying to use Touch OSC (MK II) to send OSC-commands to the FLX-S console. I'm new to OSC and to the Touch OSC app, so the questions might sound simple: Where do I put the OSC-commands (for example: /zeros/cue/go/1/5)? I know that this is not a "Touch OSC" forum, but maybe there's a tutorial available on the net you could link to? The Touch OSC-manual is not making things clear enough.

Davidmk Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Look for Messages (probably Messages (0) and click the + on the right. You'll get a pop up that lets you select OSC. Alternatively, you can add a a script to the button containing an onValueChanged function but, if this is your 1st foray into MK2, you probably want to leave that "world of delights" for a bit. Have fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidmk Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Replied to your PM as well. @Edward Z88 may want to move this to General as it isn't specific to a single Z88 product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummel Posted November 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 The screenshot I posted shows the "OSC"-part of the menu for a selected button (under "messages" - so that seems to be the right place). Should be easy to copy the command to whereve it needs to go. Don't want to do anything complicated, no bells and whistles, just sending that command when pressing a button. Maybe I'm slow on the uptake, but I just don't get it where to put that command (/zeros/cue/go/1/5). Address, Arguments, Script??? Confused...

Address, Arguments, Script??? Confused... The following is an OSC string/address: zeros/cue/go/1/5 Whereas the following would be the same OSC message, but sent as arguments: /zeros/cue/go “1”, “5” 1 Quote Edward Smith Product Specialist Email Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidmk Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 You are in the right place. I'm speaking from memory here, I only have a tablet to hand and I've never managed to work out the editor under Android so I only use the Windows version to edit. Also, I don't use this method, I send all the OSC commands in script. The simplest way is, I think... Delete everything under Address and Arguments. Click the + next to Address Select Constant and add the whole command, as in Edward's example, as a string. Thing is, TouchOSC (both versions), have a lot of idiosyncrasies that are going to drive you up the wall. MK1 is simpler and for, testing out the desk side, a great deal less frustrating. However it's simplicity means you can't build a nice looking interface or do anything subtle. The editor in the Android version of MK2 is, frankly, awful - hence my recommendation you use the Windows version. I did look at offerings from elsewhere but didn't find anything better for what I had in mind. You think this is bad? Wait until you try scripts and the Lua language. I got through it but it was a struggle and my code still isn't pretty. It can be done 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This it what it looks like, when I follow that route (also using the Windows editor): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidmk Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Need a / at the front I think but, yeah, that looks right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
