OSC messages

[Coma]

Hi,

I've recently started to work on this supercollider-android branch and
have been able to get the "helloworld" running (Y axis is volume, X
axis is pitch). The thing is I'm a bit lost due to that I've never
touched SC before. I tried the tutorial on the desktop SC, but I'm
guessing that in java that is where the OSC messaging comes in. I'm
trying to understand this reference:

http://danielnouri.org/docs/SuperColliderHelp/ServerArchitecture/Server-Command-Reference.html

Nevertheless I'm not sure how I can (for example) make two sounds
happen at the same time. Like when you pass your finger over the
screen, you get 2 frequencies (one with an offset from the other).
I'm I looking the correct way, or do I need to write an SC code apart
and load it in the program?

Forgive me for being an absolute tard in SC.

Thank you
,Coma

Hi -

Yes those server commands are the ones you'll need to use. To create
two synths, you'd send two /s_new commands, and you'd give the synths
*different* node IDs (the second argument). So maybe the first is 1001
the second is 1002. You'll need to do the book-keeping for the ID
numbers, if you have lots of them...

Thank you Dan,

Worked fine for me although I'm guessing that for each synth I have to send a seperate OSC messages.

For example:

This is what I'm using right now:

OscMessage noteMessage = new OscMessage( new Object[] {

"/n_set", OscMessage.defaultNodeId, "amp", 0f

});

OscMessage noteMessage2 = new OscMessage( new Object[] {

"/n_set", gameNodeId, "amp", 0f

});

I'm wondering if there is a way to compact them into 1 OscMessage. So it might look something like this:

OscMessage noteMessage = new OscMessage( new Object[] {

"/n_set", OscMessage.defaultNodeId, "amp", 0f,

"/n_set", gameNodeId, "amp", 0f

});

Thank you for helping out!

Hi -

The best way to do this is using Groups. The things running on the
server can be arranged in a "tree"-like layout (sort of like a
folders-and-files layout). By default, all synths get added as
children of the root node, but what you can do is use /g_new to create
a group (let's say you give it the ID 1234), and then add your two
synths to it. So you end up with a layout like this:

Root
-- Group 1234
-- -- Synth 1001
-- -- Synth 1002

Then you can send your /n_set messages to node 1234, and they
automatically go to all its children. Hooray!

Great!

I was able to put to it together!

I see you can also modify them individual even if they are inside a group. That's great!

I pat myself on the shoulder.
