I like diving directly into the (be)slime and avoiding any OSCulator or Paca/MIDI usage - trying to keep things simple, you know...

All my other OSC parameter controls are working beautifully in bi-directional bliss - now I want to see all my bright and colorful templates jump around when I hit this currently non-functional button... I assumed it did, but does the VCS support program change over OSC?

Thanks in advance,

Lowell

So, you could use:

/lowellIPod/midi,m {0x00, 0xC0, 0x7F, 0xFF}

I have a few questions about this. . .

1. Were you finally able to implement this so you could change presets from TouchOSC (on your iPad)? Or did you continue to use your iPhone for this task?

2. What was the precise syntax you ended up using for "rolling the dice"?

3. Where, exactly, did you place the MIDI message in the TouchOSC button object? In the button's "OSC" field (after unchecking the "auto" checkbox)? Or does it go somewhere else?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm a bit fuzzy about this.

This has been driving me nuts. I come back to it for an hour here and there, but as of now, I have been unable to send raw midi data from TouchOSC. Unfortunately, the variations I've tried of the above SSC possible solution have been unsuccessful.

I'm sure it's just a matter of proper syntax. I notice that in OSCulator, raw midi over osc gets labeled as just that - raw midi. Unfortunately, this doesn't allow me to see what the syntax of those messages are and I've been getting very confused by the online documentation @ http://opensoundcontrol.org/

I have been able to work around this for every other parameter in Kyma because it can be described and accessed without MIDI messages in a standard O/S/C style format - but a MIDI program change is the only way to control presets in the VCS that I'm aware of (unless it's vcs/something/else ?)

There are no text based MIDI to OSC translators that I can find - although it would make a nice little app for these transitional times - kinda like the ones that convert delay times from beats to milliseconds. At this point, I would be grateful for just a chart of OSC-ready MIDI program change messages 1-128 on channel 1. I've seen it done - the Delora Apps for example must be sending these messages - so I know it's totally possible...

Can touchOSC send integers? Or floats only?

**If it can send floats only, then you could have touchOSC send a continuous controller value (0,1) and use it in the Value field of a SoundToGlobalController and scale its value to the range of program numbers you wish to select (and round to an integer). Set the GeneratedEvent to: !ProgramNumber. For example:

(!Value * 30) rounded

**Alternatively, you could feed your Sound into an InterpolatePresets and use touchOSC to send the Interpolate value.

I'm going to get global with it and try to work it out - thanks for the tips.

By the way, the reason the raw midi stram wasn't working: 'In TouchOSC, you can't send messages with a "MIDI" typed argument.'

I made a button in TouchOSC, used 'Esc' to make it the input of the Trigger field, made !ProgramNumber the generated event, and set value to 128. Instant dice roller button...

In TouchOSC you can set what value each button sends - make them each From:0 (they have to return to 0 in order to send a trigger) To: <the preset number you desire> - then, name all the buttons the same: /Program/Change (or something else, but be consistent)

Using 'TriggeredSoundToGlobalController':
Trigger - !osc_Program_Change
Value - !osc_Program_Change
GeneratedEvent - !ProgramNumber
