Custom OSC

The Custom OSC Widget is driven by the Custom OSC Connection.

For more information about OSC, check out OSC, In A Nutshell.

For the examples on this page assume the OSC Message received is:

/body/arm/left/hand/position

The Arguments are:

-3.141, 42.000, -1.500

And the Address is configured in the OSC Connection is:

/body/arm/left/hand

Custom Label

The Custom Label field is used to select which OSC Arguments, or pieces of the OSC Adress to display.

Overlaying Arguments

By default, the Custom Label displays:

Example Text: %1:1

%1 selects the first OSC Address from the Custom OSC Connection

:1 selects the first argument

The text will be overlaid as:

Example Text: -3.141

To select the third OSC Address and the fourth OSC Argument from the Custom OSC Connection input the following into the text box:

Example Text 2: %3:3

The text will be overlaid as:

Example Text 2: -1.500

Overlaying Address Parts

With the Custom OSC Widget, it is possible to dynamically overlay parts of the OSC Address.

Changing the Custom Label to:

Example Text: %1@1

Results in:

%1 selects the first OSC Address from the Custom OSC Connection

@1 selects the first Address Part, after the defined Address in the OSC Connection

The text will be overlaid as:

Example Text: position

This is useful for when the device transmitting OSC embeds information you want to see in the Address, as opposed to the Argument
