OSC via Milliplug to Quarts Composer effects?

Batchku

hello,

i'm trying to use Milliplug to send OSC from Max to paramters of my quartz composer effects on a millumin layer.

here's how i have things set up:

but it doesn't seem to work.

any advice?

Hello @Batchku,

First of all, you change param1 (blending) for "/1/record" and param7 (record) for "/2/record" : it doesn't seem right.
Secondly, be sure you send the right value : "0" to stop recording, and "1" to start recording. Use the gear-icon and set up both the min and max values to "0" or to "1", if you want a separate OSC message to start or stop recording.

At last, if you use OSC in Max, why using MilluPlug ? You should use directly OSC messages for Millumin.
For example : "/millumin/layer/effect1/param7/0    1.0"   (for more information, see the doc).

hello,

the direct from max solution is working.

the GUI in millumin for the effects does NOT update; this was making it difficult to tell if thing were working.

on the other hand, i find layer numbering to be confusing; what happens if i take the default "layer 1" and rename it "layer 2", and then make a new layer? are the OSC layer numbers always the original creation order layers?

thanks

here's a followup question:

how can i address my quartz composer parameters with OSC if the QC composition is placed in the layer in the board as opposed to being used as an effect; here's what i mean:

I see now; there was an error in the OSC doc, under "If the media is a Quartz patch, you can control the parameters :"

it says:

• /millumin/layer/media/quartz/param1 0.5

it should say

• /millumin/layer/media/quartz/param1/0 0.5

so all better now.

thanks philippe!

Hello @Batchku,

Ok, I updated the OSC doc.

To reply to to your 2 other questions :

- for performance reasons, the GUI of the Quartz effects does not update in real time (when changing a parameter via OSC)

- you can display the layer numbering by check the option in Preferences/Board
