Hi,

Is there a way to send an OSC command when a cue is started in Go Button? All the OSC documentation seems to relate to controlling Go Button from elsewhere; is there a way to make Go Button the controller instead?

I want to create a 'sound-to-light' effect in a show where Go Button is always the source of playback (to a minirig speaker via bluetooth). If I could remotely trigger a QLab laptop from Go Button, then I could run the identical audio cue in QLab and use its 'LiveAverageLevel' OSC method to translate audio level to lighting intensity.

Many thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt --

That sounds like a really neat effect, but unfortunately Go Button is not able to send arbitrary OSC messages at this time. The OSC library in Go Button is mainly focused on allowing other devices to remote control it.

We do have this feature request on our list though, and we have added your vote!

Cheers,
Matt

This is easy to do  to do with OSCULATOR

From QLab send a network cue with duration for as long as you are likely to want to standby to receive a GO from Go Button

 /cue/playhead/goButtonText

OSCULATOR will then capture a new unique OSC message each time  goButton advances through the QList and the Go Button message changes.

You can then map the message that indicated the relevant cue has started to send an OSC /cue/{number} start cue to QLab
