Hi, I’ve just noticed that the osc settings have disappeared from the preferences panel of both OM 6.7 and OM 6.8 (while in OM 6.6 was still present – check out the attached image). I’m trying to work with the new reactif-lib, but every time I evaluate the osc-receive box I get OMR > nil. This is because I couldn’t set the UDP Port correctly in the preferences. So how do I set the number of the “In” port (besides specifying it in the first slot of the osc-receive box)?
Best,
Francesco Vitale
Just a quick additional note: I tried with OM 6.7 and OM 6.8 both on OS 10.6.8 and on 10.8.5 and I still can’t find a way to set the OSC port in the Preferences. Moreover, the result, when evaluating OSC-recieve is always OMR> nil. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Best,
Francesco
you don’t need to set anything in the preferences.
the previous OSC in/out options were used for the communication with MicroPlayer and did not need to be changed anyway.
[these options are still available under the “externals” preference tab]
for OSC-receive, you just need to set the port in the first inlet.
right-click and “start receive” to activate the box.
the value is NIL until the box receives something
best,
Ok Jean. So you’ve changed the way osc-receive works (before, it was highlighted when evaluated, as it’s still said in the documentation): this caused all the trouble! Thanks for having explained these new undocumented features.
Best,
Francesco
yes, now evaluating OSC-eceives returns the value (= last received messages)
I think it makes more sense
activating / deactivating the receive loop does not depend on box evaluations anymore
I’ll update the doc !
