General controllers guide

[samsc]

general controllers are blocks of controllers that can be used to control some features in exact maps-
some users are using hundreds of these things to move complex shapes around-

Thank you for your reply! I understood how to operate general controllers. To work with OSC, I used the IPAD and the program TouchOSC. I see that the catalyst takes OSC commands, but don't know what to do next. Is it possible to manage some settings using TouchOSC(presets, cuelist, etc...)?Снимок экрана 2015-02-20.png

simple touch osc patch

preset and layer control-

Any way of getting feedback from Catalyst to TouchOSC ? Or am I missing something ?

there are thousands of parameters in catalyst - updating 25 times a second... - when you have a few layers - outputting them over OSC is not viable - it quickly becomes thousands of updates required per second
OSC is incredibly inefficient way of keeping track of parameters-
OSC uses UDP - UDP is unreliable- packets can be dropped - hubs will get swamped by UDP traffic in updating parameters-


you can get status using my http commands - and stack them all into one - which is a much more effiicient AND reliable way - if anyone would want to track state

OSC is just about ok - for things like midi controllers - when you have a handful of devices - working at low rates - but not for full on app status.

Thank you for the information! I realized all parameters except update the library and switching fullscreen? Is it possible to do it via OSC?

Would you mind sharing the list of commands ?
