Osc parameters for touch interfaces

[Leo Souza]

Hi,

I was testing touch osc with arena 4 and realize that the xy pad interface has no way to send two parameters (like position x and y) at a time to resolume. This is because resolume does not take two arguments in osc messages.

It would be nice if we could control its interface with interactive control like xy pad of touch osc. Then we could move clips from their position with fingers.

What resolume team says?

The problem with an open protocol like OSC is that every programmer can implement his own version. Although Rob is a great guy, the decision to send XY info as an array doesn't sit too well with our implementation of OSC. So at the moment it's not possible to receive XY data directly in Resolume, nor do I see this happening anytime soon

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

So for who wants to do that is still possible using midi. But in both cases (OSC or MIDI) the conversion from 0..1 to -16535 .. 16535 is something that does not help to do it with fingers cause 1% is a lot of pixels to move something in the screen.

So, is there a way to change the internal range of resolume position x of one clip is sending/receiveing from osc?

Have you tried to change the value range in TouchOSC Editor to limit/scale. E.g.: I limit the OSC range for '/activeclip/video/positionx/values' from 0.4 to 0.6.

I guess the XY pad issue could be solved by using some 'translator' between TouchOSC and Resolume like OSCulator.

Another option might be to have a look on Lemur for the iPad/iPhone. It has built-in scripting, so you can easily adapt it to your needs.
