Hi all!
How to send OSC commands correctly if a project uses multiple decks? For example, what should be a command in order for it to have an effect on all clips of 3 layer for all decks?

This version only works with one deck:
/composition/layers/3/clips/*/transport/position/behaviour/speed

This version is logically correct, but does not work:
/composition/decks/*/layers/3/clips/*/transport/position/behaviour/speed

Decks don't play a part in OSC names, you're mapping things to a Layer regardless of what deck it's in. Since Layers hold the FX and such and this doesn't change on a deck level, there's no need for decks in OSC naming.

In this case, how to achieve our goal - to switch the animation speed of clips using the OSC commands? Precisely for a single deck, this works very well, but the show consists of multiple decks that are used as needed. When you switch to other decks, this OSC command stops working. You probably realized that the use of which commands will make it possible to solve our problem of changing (slowing down / speeding up) the tempo of clips of a certain layer. I created a topic about this problem a month ago:

By the way, why does the animation speed change fader of a clip work in discrete mode, and not smoothly, like a standard fader? In discrete mode, it is very difficult to smoothly change the speed without visible distortion.

Could you expand on "discrete" mode? Thanks

I'm talking about the situation when the Transport is in synchronization with BPM :

BPM sync means you want to keep your clip synced to the Beat.
That's only possible with specific speed multipliers, powers of 2.

I realized that the multiplier works only with a coefficient of 2, and not less. This strikes the visually noticeable "jerking" in the movement of the clip. By the way, when you change the BPM by 2 times, no jerks are visually noticeable!
