Changing Song in second instance by OSC

I was not very clear to me that you didn’t want to change the song parts and only select the song.
Do you need the song parts of the second instance? You could also simply send a PC to the second instance to sync it?

In my test only songs have been changed, but not song parts.
Please upload a screenshot (not o photo taken from your mobile) of the OSC settings of both instances.

OK, I will make screenshots this afternoon. My GP machines are never go into the web, so it’s a bit difficult, but possible.
Just for your information for a better understanding.
I’m running three instance, main/ first for Piano/ Drum/Bass
Second for Vocal/ Mics
and third for Guitar.
All have the same setlist, so I want to change all to the same song when I chang it in the first instance.
In the song all three, especially the guitar, has it’s own time/ part at which it needs to change the song part. My guitare player is choosing the song parts with his midi
padel board, totaly independend of the rest.
Hope it’s understandable.
Thanks

Then you have to send the OSC messages to 2 different ports.
In the 2nd and 3rd instance you have to enable receiving messages and in the 1st instance you have to disable send messages.
Did you do that?

I first test it just with a second instance.
If that works I will involve the third instance.

OK, how looks your OSC setup in both instances?

As in the previous photos but in the second it is checked responding too changes…, I am currently not at the computer.

When you switch song parts, the 2nd instance also switches song parts?

Yes, that’s my “problem”.

I need to choose the “Song” in all instances by clicking it in the first/ main instance, but I do not want changing the song part of any other as in the first/ main instance, if I choose it in the first instance.

Can you upload a small gig showing the issue?

I will try to do later, thanks for your help! Again!

I can check tomorrow

Thanks Paul,

I am in Germany but I have a business trip tomorrow with large time change and time offline,
appreciate you help, as usual!!

That’s probably because GP is sending that information out by itself whenever you switch parts – that has always been there.

This notion of “partial” synchronization is really breaking the intent of the sync process.


OSC options in the 1st instance


OSC option in the 2nd instance

On Song(oldSongIndex : integer, newSongIndex : integer)
   SendOSCMessage { /GigPerformer/SwitchToSong, GetCurrentSongName(), 0 } to "127.0.0.1":8002
End

Gig Script in the 1st instance

When I switch a song in the 1st instance, the same song in the 2nd instance is selected.
When I switch song parts in the 1st instance, the song part in the 2nd instance is not changed.

So I cannot reproduce the issue.

Thanks @pianopaul

I will try when I am back.
I see a little difference in your OSC setting as in my one.
I have the client port in the first and the listening port in the second instance the same, you not.
May that makes the difference!
Thanks !

And in the 1st instance do not check “Send rackspace or song changes (Tx)”

:+1:
Thanks!

Is it working now?

I am sitting in a plane, can check it next week and will report!
