LXConsole Setup-> OSC Out


The OSC Out destination table contains a list of named IP addresses and ports. These are used when sending OSC messages defined in cue actions that are triggered when the cue is played. A special destination named "extShowControl" is used for sending messages triggered by Go commands.

Cue actions that send OSC messages use one of the following formats:

/addressPattern
/addressPattern float

IP:port~/addressPattern
IP:port~/addressPattern float

destination~/addressPattern
destination~/addressPattern float

In the first two cases where no IP:port or destination is specified, the OSC message is sent to the Main and auxiliary OSC outputs specified in the OSC Out tab of the preferences.

Alternately, the OSC message may be sent to a specific IP address and port that is different from the main OSC outputs (that are also used for other purposes). There are two ways to specify where these messages should be sent. One is composed of an IPaddress followed by a colon and the port. The second uses the name of one of the destinations defined in this table.

In the cases where the message is to be sent to a specific destination, a tilde separates the destination from the OSC message.

The message itself consists of an OSC address pattern (eg. /cue/1/start ) and optionally, a space followed by a float type argument. If no argument is specified, the message is sent with the address pattern and float argument of 1.0.

The special destination extShowControl is used to send a "/cue/##/start" OSC message when cue ## is played using a Go command. This is similar to how MIDI Show Control out works when it is enabled.
