OSC mapping Precision

Post by stev_fun »

Hey guys, I'm starting to get into mapping using an external software, however I cannot get resolume to respond to floats that are two decimal places... only one. Has anyone found a way to get the mapping more precise? Or is this something that I have to work around? It would be great considering its almost usless for me trying to create faders because its so glitchy. Thanks again!

Resolume responds to floats up to 6 decimals and doubles up to 15 decimals, so I think something else must be going wrong during sending.

What OS and software are you using to send your OSC messages?

I am using Windows 7 and Touch Designer.... When i send a float with two decimals I wont register the number however, when I send with only one it responds perfectly. I will check into it again tonight.

I'm not familiar with OSC in TD, but you can use the free app OscMonitor to debug what messages and values are actually being sent.

I actually have been using OSC monitor and its reading my float values well. I know I have to match the name to correctly route the data, so I am registering in Resolume. I was playing with it this morning very briefly before work, so ill test it again tonight and post an update soon. Maybe just a reinstall might do the trick. we will see. Thanks for the clarification on the values Joris!

Strange. I just double checked by sending a 6 decimal float from Quartz Composer at 60 fps, with the outgoing value going from 0 to 1 over a period of 100 seconds.

In the attached video, you can see the param responding with 6 decimal precision.

Try using the OSC DAT Out instead of the OSC CHOP Out. What does that do for you?

The chop is likely rounding things for you. I can confirm Resolume takes up to 5 decimal places out of touchdesigner, i used it as a remote playhead system awhile ago. If you upload your TOE i can look at it.

How would i go about formatting the OSC DAT to read the same way as the CHOP? Strange, its now registering the decimal places however now its limiting the range in the transition between applications. When I am using Arena 4.2 the full range is output no problem. Its only in 5 that this problem is occuring.

Here is another attempt at correct formatting however with no luck on the Resolume side.

I even have an OSC monitor and its not receiving the data
