Problems handling OSC messages - Numerical values treated as strings.
I have a updreceive
object receiving all my network messages including OSC messages.
If I send a message from another program the Max window will print received: /oscSend 1 NoteOn
using a print received
object.
However the numerical part can't be routed. If I use prepend set
to set the message in a message
object then the result is /oscSend "1" NoteOn which highlights the nature of the problem.
Why is the 1 treated as a string and how can I get around this?
I find that symbols get recast pretty quickly in Max. But, there's also the fromsymbol object to do it explicitly.
That works great, thank you.
