Sending OSC at a specific Clip position

[techthik]

Hi,

I like to send a OSC/Midi message at a specific position of a clip. to trigger my Lightsoftware.

I was trying whit the Transporter section. with the Floatpoint as argument there ar thousends of sendet infos but i did not get the Lightsoftware get done anything. when i choos the OSC-output option special Adress, then i dont have a OSC sent a this point of the clip. otherwise when i choos only this position, its not possible to specify the comand sent.

or do i search at the wrong point?

to do it the other way round, to trigger Resolume from the Light is not an option. because in this theater show (danse) are only a few long Video/Music Cues and over a 100 Light Cues.
Yes, i am Lazy.

workaround idea:


1. Take something (effect i.e.)
2. chose the opacity to follow clip position
3. use ENvelope to make this opacity stay 0 till the point you need and jump there to 100%
4. osc output this value and use it as trigger


maybe something like this work for you.

Its just what my brain outputted in the last 30 seconds so it may have still some bug...

What He2neg suggested is how I would do it. You can even rename that FX to a custom OSC out address for ease of finding (maybe the video or performance name?)

i Tried to do so. but i am new to Resolume.

the Envelope is not possible to take as OSC output. i tuk the slider of Opacity which folows the Clip position.
this gives me again thousends of OSC signals.
so i reduced the Clip Range to a single point. this seams to work. the position of the Clip range point defines the signal output. the precisition is with 0.01 maibe not enough for very long clips.
if the Clip is 20min long so 1% is 12s.

is this the way you mend it?

The Envelope is just an extra to the opacity and has no osc on its own ...

Mhm...
Not sure why the fader still give you so much osc info when the envelope is set correct ( i dont see a misstake on the picture)

OSC output for parameters, is the actual parameter phase.
When you enable an envelope you still only get the phase, not the actual value.

What you could do, would be listening for the float 1 value (if your software can ignore floats below that)
and set your parameter to timeline, play once and hold.
Then you can set the Duration which will specify the amount of time your param needs to get to 1f.

If this doesn't work, try controlling your Arena instance from your lighting software via DMX: https://resolume.com/support/en/dmx-shortcuts

or use a bridge app that will fire a specific OSC message to your DMX software based on incoming OSC data.
