From Max to Processing (processing.org)
Hi Folks,
i just can`t get a propper OSC connection between Max and Processing.
I tried to use CNMAT but couldnt figure out which patch to use. Also, since i am working on Mac OS X 10.4.11, i don
t which adress to use to send OSC Messages? When sending to a other computer i used the IP and a certain port. DO i have to use localhost now?
Thanks for helping!
hi peter,
i managed to do this easily, be sure you have installed the oscP5 library for processing.
Then, try to open an example for processing, you will see in the code that a listener is created :
oscP5 = new OscP5(this,12000);
means you have to send your osc messages to port 12000.
this is done with the udpsend object :
[udpsend localhost 12000].
here, you have a one side communication from max to processing.
if you want to send osc messages from processing to max :
myRemoteLocation = new NetAddress("127.0.0.1",13000);
will declare the port max/msp is listening to, then :
OscMessage myMessage = new OscMessage("/test");
myMessage.add(123); /* add an int to the osc message */
/* send the message */
oscP5.send(myMessage, myRemoteLocation);
you will receive the messages in max/msp with the udpreceive object :
[udpreceive 13000]
this should work very well.
cheers
