Convert midi into OSC and send an osc message outside Ableton
Hi Guys and Galls,
This must be super simple...
I want to be able to fire a midi note from a Ableton track and use this to generate an osc message which is sent to a piece of software outside of Ableton.
I've found the Ableton connection kit OSC tools and loaded the "OSC send" M4L plugin but I'm failing to map a midi note as a trigger to generate the OSC message. Is there an other plugin that is more suitable for this?
Who can help!?
Thanks in advance!

Use "OSC MIDI Send" from the connection kit.
And use "OSC Monitor" to see the format of generated messages.
I need the osc messages to be in a specific format to be able to target certain modules in the software I want to talk to. Can I reformat the osc messages in the osc monitor?
OSC is nothing exotic, just messages sent via UDP.
So take udpsend object with 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
or even 255.255.255.0 which is broadcast (meaning send to all connected clients)
and port that You need.
Than You can send whatever messages You want.
"OSC Monitor" is just a receiver and can't reformat the messages.
But you could edit/modify the "OSC MIDI Send" device.
(I'm a noob at Max) If I'd like to receive OSC messages in the monitor / receiver and then send them right out with OSC send, what's the easiest way to do that? Do I need another patch that will route incoming messages to outgoing? Thanks
