Can I have my OSC mappings set to Selected Column?

[VJH0]

Hello fellow Resolumers!!

I am having an issue that is causing me some serious grief ---

I really want to have my OSC mappings move with selected column!

I have 100 clips, over 5 layers, all in group 2! Every clip is set to 'Play Once and Clear'. The problem is that my mappings are all set to :

/composition/layers/6/clips/1/connect
/composition/layers/7/clips/1/connect
/composition/layers/8/clips/1/connect
/composition/layers/9/clips/1/connect
/composition/layers/10/clips/1/connect

This means I am confined to only 5 different clips!!! Ideally, I want 20 columns, of 5 clips = 100 clips!

Is there any way in which I can have my mapping set to 'selected column?' This way I would be able to change the clips, and still be able to play them using only 5 mappings, as I change the column!


Can I select the next column without triggering it?
Can my mappings behave with the selected column?


There was a previous post on this but I was not able to decipher the OSC command.
I am using Touch Designer.

Any help is massively appreciated!!!!
I have a piece at an art gallery in 5 days and this is my last hurdle!! ( I hope hahahahahaha)

Much Love Much SwaG !!! : D

Do you need to select/trigger the clips individually?
There is a
/composition/connectnextcolumn
and
/composition/connectspecificcolumn
Int 0 through 8

Maybe those would give an easier workflow?

Hello!

I believe it is not possible to select the column without connecting it, there is no OSC message for this. Not least because we don't even have this functionality in the interface.
I also use TD, I'm currently studying ways to interact using WebSockets instead of OSC.
Via API, you could scan all the clips in the desired column and preview whatever you want.

I didn't use the TD methods, but Python lib, to exemplify faster:

Code: Select all

import json
data = op('json2').text
dict = json.loads(data)
print(dict)

I hope it helps.

Nice one cheers for the help guys!


So I ended up for the exhibition using 2 computers, and having the 2nd PC with only 5 clips per deck, and then continuously changing the decks on the second computer to get new clips!

Yeah composition/next column would have worked, but I didn't want all the clips to immediately activate when the column was triggered otherwise it the transition would look awful hahahaha!

Big thanks for the input chaps : D !
