Slow OSC response...

Post by dgraph »

I am experiencing some very slow response times from received OSC messages, roughly 5 seconds after send the message Resolume responds. I have tried a few different network configurations as this is part of a larger project involving Resolume, Arduino, Processing, Pd and Ableton all on a shared network. It seems though that Resolume is the only program responding slowly, so it makes me think that it is an issue specific to Resolume and not a networking problem. I am sending 8 osc messages to change layer opacity and link1 values on 4 separate layers. I am sending the messages as individual messages not as bundles. I have tried a few different port values. I am working on an iMac 3ghz dual core 4gb ram 10.6.6 and running Resolume 3.3.1 so I believe everything is up to date and should be plenty fast. Anyone have any suggestions or experience similar issues? also i am midi clocking resolume from ableton so it is receiving osc and midi at the same time not sure if that would matter.

In order to eliminate any issues that could be caused by such a crowded network, do the messages also come in late when you strip the setup down to the bare minimum (ie only from Pd to Resolume for instance)?

when i monitor them in pd they change immediately, as well when they are routed into pd and out to processing i see the change almost immediately, its just the ones going to resolume that have an extreme lag.

ok got things working properly, I was sending osc messages to often from my arduino. There being sent every loop cycle now i am sending them only when they change by a certain amount. should of figured the weakest link was me. :)

is there any reason to send messages as bundles instead of single messages? could this improve response time, because i can still actually notice a lag which increases as a move multiple faders at the same time. One fader at a time is seeming instant, a bit slower with 2 and so forth. could bundles help this?

I can't really say if bundles would improve this, since OSC should be pretty instant even with multiple messages. I mean, you're sending maybe five messages? Resolume should be able to handle that easily. Give it a try, I'd love to hear your findings on this.
