Thanks so much. I’ll try that in just a bit.
I understand the sync, but why sync all widget changes?
This way you have to put all widget to controls VST Parameters in the Master Gig
And is it really needed?
When I make sound changes, I do that in the VST plugin.
Only for sound parameters which need to be changed while playing I create Widgets.
Keep in mind only the song switcher synchronized, the Song part changes are not treated.
Hmm, I’m not sure I understand your question. Are you asking this question based on the previous script attempt above? Because I was just copying that from Thaddaus’ youtube video screenshot. I would definitely prefer NOT to have widgets to VST parameters affected. I would simply like to move song to song upon my song changes (not song parts as that’s where I switch rackspaces mid song).
Just simply advancing song to song is all I would like to do.
Sorry and thanks.
You can test with with gig file
OSCSwitchSong.gig (14.3 KB)
With this Songs and Song Parts are synced
var CurrentSong : String
CurrentSongPart : String
MOSC : OSCMessage
// Called when you switch to another song
On Song(oldSongIndex : integer, newSongIndex : integer)
CurrentSong = GetCurrentSongName()
OSC_SetAddress(MOSC, "/GigPerformer/SwitchToSong")
OSC_ClearArgs(MOSC)
OSC_AppendStringArg(MOSC, CurrentSong)
OSC_SendSpecific(MOSC, OSC_GetIPAddressFromTargetName("GP Bass"),
OSC_GetPortNumberFromTargetName("GP Bass"))
End
// Called when you switch to another songpart
On Songpart(oldSongpartIndex : integer, newSongpartIndex : integer)
CurrentSongPart = GetCurrentSongPartName()
OSC_SetAddress(MOSC, "/Song/SwitchToPart")
OSC_ClearArgs(MOSC)
OSC_AppendStringArg(MOSC, CurrentSongPart)
OSC_SendSpecific(MOSC, OSC_GetIPAddressFromTargetName("GP Bass"),
OSC_GetPortNumberFromTargetName("GP Bass"))
End
Wait, if I just want an audio file player to run in instance 2, don’t I just need song switches and not part switches? Won’t a song part switch interrupt file playback?
It depends what you are referencing in Song Part.
Each Song Part can reference a different rackspace variation and so you could reference different rackspaces in 1 song.
As long as you only reference variations from the same rackspace there is no issue with Audio File Player.
You should read the user manual, where all this is clearly documented.
Keep in mind: Gig Performer is so flexible, it can do all what you want, but when you are not aware of the design philosophy you can make things total over complicated.
Yeah, I’m still learning this and I’ve read most of the documentation but that doesn’t mean I understand it all yet. It usually takes me encountering each aspect “in the wild” to get the concepts. As you mentioned, the sophistication makes understanding the design philosophy complicated. There are simply so many ways to skin the cat, I often just use the first one that works (to then find out later, there is a better way).
Thanks so much for your help. I had a busy gig weekend so just now getting my gig-rig loaded into the office here so I can fire up the machine and start integrating.
So the script compiled without incident (thanks so much) but I’m still not getting it to change songs. Here is my OSC setup (for some reason, my IP address went from 127.0.0.1 to that 192.168.1.15 and I don’t know why, but I replicated it throughout). Am I doing something wrong here:
You enabled WLAN, right?
How looks your OSC Targets?
Press the Button “Manage OSC Targets” in the 1st instance.
And set the Remote client port to 9002 in the 2nd instance - to avoid feedback loops, to be sure
And maybe a stupid question:
The song names and song part names in the 1st and 2nd instance are the same?
Did you try with the example gig file I uploaded?
Please show the content of the Gig Script window.
Okay, that remote client port to 9002 fixed it I think.
I’m in business! Thanks so much for your help. First time is always the hardest!

Morning all,
So I’ve been digging a bit deeper into the documentation and trying to get a handle on things but the combination of comprehending both GP script and OSC messages all at once means my learning curve will be long. That being said, I’ve also seen that using this functionality isn’t really intended for those without some basic understanding of coding, which now makes total sense. However, I am a working “weekend warrior” in a few bands and I need to keep progress going forward on GP as it’s my chosen replacement for the eventual Kronos Retirement. That being the case, I am wondering if anyone who might read this thread might be available for some “contract script writing” work until I have seen/read enough on the subject to start writing my own. I’ll gladly pay for scripts to get me past “sticking points” in my planned rollout in GP. I recognize that this community is probably largely made of up folks with little spare time, but maybe there’s someone who could use some extra drinking money from time to time?
Please PM me if interested, or you can reply her to laugh at me. lol. I just don’t want to waste the whole community’s time with my intro level BS. (I will figure it out as I see more content however; it’s just greek to me atm).
Thanks in advance,
You might want to provide a concise description of what exactly you’re trying to accomplish — in your earlier posts you’ve asked for help for specific problems but it’s unclear exactly what you want to actually do generally that requires all this scripting and OSC
