OSC feedback/message with multiple arguments

[jackmau]

Hi @helgoboss,

I have restarted using Realearn after a while and I got stuck on a multiple argument message in OSC. I am building a bidirectional MIDI <-> OSC interface to have my brand new Erae touch speak with Surge XT (I am using OSC as certain parameters are not accessible either via midi or parameter automation). The parameters I am particularly interested in getting access to are the modulation ones, which as per Surge XT OSC documentation are constructed like the following

which means I need realearn osc mapping with the modulation source I am interested in as address and then 2 arguments:

1. a string parameter identifying the target
2. a float parameter which would outputted via MIDI to my Erae touch.

I have looked at the https://docs.helgoboss.org/realearn/further-concepts/source.html#osc-feedback-arguments-expression in the manual, which seem to be describing my use case, but I haven't figured out on how to set the first argument to a string of my liking (as I am only interested in getting/setting the second argument).

Note that in this situation I can't use two mappings, as the message needs to be delivered once in the format above (modulator + arguments (modulated parameter + amount))

I am not sure if Lua Script currently works on OSC (as there is no OSC Script source as mentioned in #757) , my problem also seems fairly similar to #832.

Please let me know if my question is not clear

Hi Giacomo! I'm afraid that's not possible at the moment. I've neglected OSC a bit compared to MIDI. If I would improve that, than probably by introducing a Lua -based OSC Script source. That would be the most flexible option. It's going to happen at some point.
