Get Current Song Part?

[stevmills]

Hi all!

I am currently getting most of the info I need via OSC:

Song: /CurrentSongName
BPM: /CurrentBPM
Transpose: /CurrentGlobalTranspose

However, I am having a trouble getting the current song part.

Does anyone have the correct OSC path for current song part name/index?

[stevmills]

Update!

The answer is /SelectSongPart.

Thanks David at Gig Performer for the extremely fast ~20 minute support ticket response time!

Don’t forget the invaluable manual…
https://gigperformer.com/docs/Userguide36/osc.html

[stevmills]

Indeed!

However some of these paths aren’t called out on the manual: /CurrentGlobalTranspose isn’t there, for example.

There is a /SetGlobalTranspose and a /GetGlobalTranspose, but I am using Open Stage Control and creating an OSC listener with the path of /CurrentGlobalTranspose. That listener then gets automatically updated by Gig Performer any time transpose changes.

Welcome to the fabulous world of Gig Performer

If you monitor the OSC communication you will also learn a lot about what’s happening when doing this or that in GP. Here are a few ways to do it:

Network tool for OSC monitoring

Gig Performer has OSC support and that’s very nice! Starting to work with OSC often necessitates to monitor OSC messages like Gig Performer can do it for MIDI messages using its builtin MIDI monitor. Reading the GP forum, different software for OSC monitoring can be identified, among them: OSC Data Monitor (for Windows & Mac): https://www.kasperkamperman.com/blog/processing-code/osc-datamonitor/ (see also the nice OSC video introduction: https://youtu.be/0uOR2idKvrM) OSC Shark (cross platf…

Is there a way to return the NAME of the current song part?
/SelectSongPart returns a number.

All I found is this

/Song/GetSongParts

Returns a list of available song parts for the current song

/Song/GetSongParts

Returns a list of available song parts for the current song

Thanks for looking!
just returns ‘undefined’ for me…

Sorry for the question, but are you sure you were in Setlist mode?

Well, I must be doing something daft, but not that. Definitely in setlist mode.

Does /Song/GetSongParts require anything in the address field as well as the value field?
(for example, OSC{/CurrentSongName} doesn’t.)

[NanoMalefico]

I use /SongPart’n’Name
‘n’ is a ID of song part
e.g. /SongPart0Name

Ok, that lets me see the name of one of the song parts in a song, but does not tell me which one I’m on.

I’ve been slowly trying to learn Open Stage Control (quite a steep learning curve IMO when you move beyond the basics). This past weekend I’ve broken through a bit of a barrier, and managed to complete a few ideas I had for managing a setlist. [image] To do this required using a number of different features of Open Stage Control. I’m happy to share specifics if anyone’s interested. Attached is the layout file and ‘custom module’. The custom module is where you can specify start-up actions an…

Awesome stuff! Using a Switch widget seems to be the way.
Just need to get it working the same way in my session.

@Ali_B

Awesome stuff!

Indeed. I also share this to the Open Stage Control forum.

Great!

Once I realised I had to add an invisible widget for songpt_count everything works as expected.

Many Thanks
