I can read OSC midi from max for live but I can’t read OSC data from max for Live while it is the same port.

I give you a screenshot with Live and OSC “object” of M4Live just that you can see I send good datas from Live with the good port.

And I give the programs to read datas, the first OSC midi and the second OSC data

I have tried many time to restart Processing programs but just first works (it is the one on the top left the screenshot, you can see strings move with midi note).

Hi there,

I give you a screensh

problem-with-osc-send-from-max-for-live

Before assuming it's your code, you should check if osc is just conked out on M4L. There is a "known issue", that once you edit a patch in Max and then close, if osc came in to the edited Max patch, Live can no longer use that port. There's a discussion on this on the Max/MSP facebook group and apparently many people have faced this issue. I resorted to hooking up a number box to my udpreceive in M4L so I can just change the port number easily when the patch is not in edit mode and that seems to be working fine.

I didn't edited the patch myself, it's a patch made by Max/Msp for the software Live.

It's called OSC send you can see at the bottom of the previous screenshot.

I changed the port to 2347 in both M4L patch, and I changed the port in the program of Processing (the last program I gave on my previous post).

The patch OSC send doesn't work while the patch OSC MIDI Send work, either with the port 2346 either with 2347.

I don't know how to check if OSC send , send actually something or not.

In Processing, I added a println (automation1) in the draw loop and I have 0.0.

Hi Iain, 
Thanks for your answer.

So, if you have an idea...

Start Max standalone, insert udpreceive set to "good" port

and check if it receives anything form that OSC "good" datas device.

If it does, then fix the processing code.

When i open the OSC send device in Max 8, I have only thé picture of the device. I don’t havé objects and wires. This Device us designed for M4l, so maybe i can’t open it with Max8?

but open Max Application and make new patch and add udpreceive object

so that you can test if Live is sending OSC messages or not.

But I guess that the problem is that your processing code expects OSC string

if(theMsg.checkAddrPattern("/XPosition")==true)

on that screenshot where you state that you send "good data" to "good port"

You did not understand what I mean.
You should send your data from Live,
but open Max Application and make new patch and add udpreceive object
so that you can test if Live is sending OSC messages or not.
But I guess that the problem is that your processing code expects OSC string
which you don't provide.
look at this :
if(theMsg.checkAddrPattern("/XPosition")==true)
on that screenshot where you state that you send "good data" to "good port"
it says "Enter OSC Address"
How should that match ?


I receive theses datas from OSC midi send and OSC send by changing port receiving data in MAX 8

Hi,
I receive theses datas from OSC midi send and OSC send by changing port receiving data in MAX 8

How can I change the program in Processing?

Thus, I receive floats into Processing. 
You were right.
How can I change the program in Processing?


You need to learn programming in languages you want to use.

Do you understand Processing code you want to use ?

It asks for the OSC string to recognise the following float value.

In max4live device you need to enter that string instead of

if(theMsg.checkAddrPattern("/XPosition")==true

Screen shot 2021-09-29 at 20.51.17.png

then float automation1 will be used for vertical move:

float ver_move = map(automation1, 0, 1, -300, 300);

Simple as that.

In max4live device you need to enter that string instead of
"EnterOSCAddress"
This if condition :
if(theMsg.checkAddrPattern("/XPosition")==true

means that you need to enter /XPosition in max4live device in the slot
that you want to use to set variable automation1 in Processing :

if(theMsg.checkAddrPattern("/XPosition")==true) {
automation1= theMsg.get(0).floatValue(); }


then float automation1 will be used for vertical move:
float ver_move = map(automation1, 0, 1, -300, 300);
I don't think I can explain this better.

Ok, it's work!
Thanks for you pedagogy. ;)
