Source "OSC"

OSC sources allow configuration of the following aspects:

Address field

This needs to correspond exactly to the address of the corresponding control element on your OSC device.

Example: /1/fader1

You don’t need to figure that out yourself, just use the Learn button.

Argument section

Each OSC message consists of an arbitrary number of arguments. In most cases, e.g. with faders, knobs or buttons, it’s just one argument. X/Y controls often send 2 arguments, one for each axis. There are rare cases in which messages have even more arguments.

Argument number menu

The first dropdown menu allows you to choose the number of the argument that ReaLearn should look at and process. 1 denotes the first argument, 2 the second one, and so on.

Argument type menu

The second dropdown menu lets you choose the argument type which ReaLearn should use to construct a proper feedback message.

This is usually the same type as the one used for control direction. For control direction, choosing an explicit type is irrelevant because ReaLearn handles whatever type arrives automatically in the best possible way.

If you use Learn, the type is filled automatically. * The value to be sent will be derived from the type (see Feedback arguments field):

Type Property

Float

value.float

Double

value.double

Int

value.int

Long

value.long

Bool

value.bool

Nil

nil

Inf

inf

String

value.string

Color

style.color

If you want more control over what feedback values are sent, use the Feedback arguments field field.

Range field

Values of argument types Float and Double are by default interpreted as decimal values between 0.0 and 1.0. You can change that by entering a different value range here. Even negative numbers are allowed.

Customizing the value range is especially important for argument types Int and Long because they don’t have a standard value range.

Is relative checkbox

Some messages transmitted by OSC devices are meant to be interpreted as relative increments/decrements instead of absolute values, e.g. jog wheels. When you enable this checkbox, ReaLearn will treat each received 1 value as an increment and 0 value a decrement.

Feedback arguments field

Allows you to modify the OSC feedback arguments expression.
