Hey all,
New to Gig Performer and OSC. And trying to learn how to get GP connected to TouchOSC. I have got it working when creating a widget set to a global parameter, in this case I have it set to the Play button, and it works. However when I try to setup a widget to a plugin parameter I cant seem to get it to work. I have setup the streaming audio player and tried to get ouch OSC to connect to the play button on the player but it just doesnt seem to work. I have tried other plugins and parameterswith the same result and I cant seem to find the correct info for setting this up, so any guidance is much appreciated. I have gone through the basics, making sure the name is correct on both sides etc so obviously I am missing something. Also when I click the widget in GP it does light up the button on TouchOSC (Android Tablet).
I just need a complete setup guide to connect a widget to Touch OSC. Getting frustrated at this.
Cheers and thanks!
Si
Did you enable OSC in the Gig Performer options?
In the widget properties also OSC must be enabled
When this is done then moving the widget sends out the OSC
message /K1/SetValue
In Touch OSC you set the settings of a GUI element to react on the incoming message /K1/SetValue
Thank you, I didnt realise I need the full naming which in my case it needed to say GlobalRackspace/k1/SetValue. I was missing the GlobalRackspace part of it. Thank you so much!
Also if I wanted to get the song name on the TouchOsc what kind of button would I use, the Label, or Text etc?
When a Song is selected in Gig Performer the OSC message /CurrentSongName “A” is sent.
In this case the song was name A
So normally nothing to do in Gig Performer itself.
You could use the program “Protocol” from Hexler to see all OSC messages automatically sent from Gig Performer
Am I able to view the song that is in the Streaming Audio File Player?
Include a Text Label Widget
Map it to Parameter “Track Name” of the SAFP
Give an OSC/GPScript Handle
Enable OSC
Customize Caption
Then the OSC Message (in this case)
/LiedName “Earth, Wind & Fire - Back on the Road-bass-C major-118bpm-443hz.mp3)” is sent out.
This is how I have it set but the display on the tablet (OSC) only shows numbers and not the song name. Did you have a script up before? Would that help?
Are you sure you mapped the correct parameter in SAFP?
There is not script involved.
Yeah cause it shows up fine within gig performer
What is the OSC message you receive in Touch OSC?
Can you upload a small gig file to show the issue?
The red box with the number is what shows up when I scroll through song names on the player
I See the message - when I wind my head 
/GlobalRackspace/s1Name FORGET YOU.mp3
You have to map the OSC message /GlobalRackspace/s1Name in your TouchOSC
Why do people always take photos with their camera and do not take a normal screenshot?
Sorry about that, the easiest for me quickly was just to use my phone as GP is on my macbook and touchosc is on my tablet but Im logged in to this forum on my PC
OK, did you change the OSC Address in Touch OSC?
I have the osc as GlobalRackspace/s1/SetValue wich is what it is in GP, is that correct?
No, as I wrote above
/GlobalRackspace/s1Name
Ok yep, that worked! Thanks heaps for that and persisting with me
