HELP: OSC Navigate to Specific Column By Name? (Resolume Avenue 6)

[rockwithrev]

Version: Resolume Avenue 6

I have clips loaded in columns, where each of my "songs" is a 3-column clip.
The first column has the "song name".

Is there a way (and if so, can you please provide syntax), to have a button in TouchOSC call a specific column name and start it playing?

I thank you in advance for any assistance.

Hi rockwithrev,
you can trigger a specific column via OSC with '/composition/columns/2/connect' which would trigger column 2 for example. It doesn't take the name you gave the composition but the position.

You can find OSC-syntax for everything mappable in Resolume if you go to 'Shortcuts' --> 'Edit OSC' and click on the element (e.g. your column of choice). On the right side of the interface you should see the Shortcuts-section where it always shows the corresponding OSC-adress of the highlighted interface-element.

You can find more about OSC here: https://resolume.com/support/en/osc

Hope this helps,
Best Regards,
Christoph

Thanks. I’m able to do that already with number, but was curious about column name, as that way I’d be able to shuffle columns for “songs” around without having to remap buttons every time I do.

For instance /compositions/columns/SONG-NAME-HERE/connect.

That’s more the issue I’m looking to solve.

Cheers.

Ok, I understand. This is currently not possible, you need to remap your buttons to the corresponding column-names.

Hello,
if you don't mind an extra layer of control and need to send the names instead of number, you can try controlling Resolume through Chataigne ( http://benjamin.kuperberg.fr/chataigne ), amongst a lot of other things, there is a "Resolume" module that will easily control Resolume and launch clips / columns.
You can then create an OSC module to receive your current OSC messages and create an Action to bind the corresponding messages to different OSC commands to send to Resolume.
