touchOSC and VPT

[hc]

I have made a basic interface for TouchOSC to work directly in VPT.
Download the following and open it in VPT:

Thanks.

I'm not making it right. My osc doenst reach my vpt instance.

How did you configure it?

If you assign /fader1 from bank 1 to the controller nr (the number to
the left of the dropmenu in the osctouch patch), you should be able to
use the router in VPT to control whatever parameter you like, based on
that controller number. So basically you assign the different osctouch
values to controller numbers in the new patch, and then you can use
the router as you would with midi, lfo, dmx or other osc.

Your touchosc app must be sending to port 6665, the vpt touchosc patch
is communicating directly to the router, so it is important that the
patch is opened in VPT.

hope this helps.

Ok That works.
But is there any problems with the solotrig layer message?
I can´t set him off via OSC.

Is there any form of setting the active layer via OSC?

thanks

Is the interface still up for download? I think the link is broken.

I don´t know what happened with the link, but here it is again:

Thank you very much. This is an amazing program!

I've set my outgoing port in TouchOSC to 6665 and the host to what I believe is the correct IP along with the steps you have discussed above, and still no luck getting any data from the new iPad. Is there a specific layout within TouchOSC that works best? How do I determine if I have entered the proper IP for the host. 

-Thanks, Bo.

Try to open this patch in VPT.
You should see the osc messages sent from your touchosc if you are
using the right ip address:

Getting much, much closer. When I open the TouchOSC interface and the patch that you just sent me, I do now see the values from TouchOSC. By default (as you know I'm sure,) /fader1 is assigned to Control number 1, however when I go to the router and test a simple fade nothing happens. Any thoughts on what might be the missing link?? Again, thank you for your patience HC. I am absolutely going to be donating for this software and your help. I'd also be willing to post pictures or videos of my hypermedia installation next week. 

[Bo Allen]

I have finally successfully connected to VPT via the new iPad and TouchOSC, thanks again for your great work hc! 

[hc]

Glad to hear that. What did you need to do to get it to work? It might
be useful for others attempting the same thing.

Sorry - been meaning to follow up for quite some time. To be honest I'm not sure where I was making a mistake at the time. What I do know now is that following your instructions of opening the listenport6665 patch and TouchOSC interface through VPT then launching TouchOSC on the iPad and using the router seems to work every time - even when I don't necessarily do it in that order.

Hi,

The link for the file touchosc_interface01.mxf.zip don't seem to work...

Thanks,

Sorry, I just found it in the posts: http://nervousvision.com/vpt/xtension/touchosc_interface01.mxf.zip

I need a little help.  I've worked through the notes in this thread trying everything that I've read, but I cannot get VPT 6 to respond to OSC messages.  I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious.  My real goal is to send OSC from a Microsoft.Net application, using a OSC library.  I am also trying the TouchOSC just to see if VTP will react to any type of OSC messaging.  No luck so far.

I have the patch "listen_port6665_b" open and I can see the messages coming in from my iPad.  VPT is receiving messages like...

/1/fader1 0.91667

I'm using the router to map 1 to Layer1 Fade, but its not working.

Is the /1 before the /fader1 the problem?

If so, I don't see a way to get rid of the /1 in the TouchOSC app.

Any help would be appreciated

Are you using the touchOSC interface that I made? You can´t use
TouchOSC directly with VPT, you need to use this patch as an
intermediary. This filters out the /1,/2 etc and you set up the
control mappings in this interface, not in the router in VPT.

in the manual or in the help for osc and router you should see how to
configure the osc messages so VPT will understand them.

I'll reply for Todd since we are working on the same project.  We ended up getting it all to work.  We used the patch to get it to work.  Our other problem was how we were crafting the messages in .NET as well as a bug with sending the messages across the network.  We had some funky demo code that we were using for testing that would only send to local host even if you specified an IP.

In the end, we got it all to work.  Then we realized we didn't have enough time to finish this project within the short timeline so we opted for a non -interactive exhibit.  Before we stopped working on it, we did have a Kinect interface that used spacial points and specific body movements as well as voice commands to control video output through VPT.  It might be a project we revisit.  We learned a lot though.

Thanks for all the work hc.

will this also work with 'control' on the ipad. i've tried and cannot get it to work. Is the patch just for touchOSC?

thanks

Jasper

[hc]

the patch only deals with touchOSC, yes.

Hey there im a little stuck with touchOSC.

I have VPT open and then i have the touchOSC interface(http://nervousvision.com/vpt/touchosc_iThnanterface01.mxf.zip) open and finally i have the 6665 port listener(http://nervousvision.com/vpt/xtension/listen_port6665.maxpat.zip ) open both through VPT.

I can see values coming in on the listener which recives through port 6665, but nothing on VPT which recives through port 6666. 

Am i right in thinking the touchosc interface receives data from the touchosc app on port 6665 and then sends it to vpt on 6666? 

Really not sure why im not seeing any data in VPT.

Any help is greatly appreacited, very very happy with VPT so far :)

Ben

[Ben Quinney]

To calrify, i am not seeing any data in VPT. Should i automatically be seeing fader one move when i do so on touch osc? I know i program the commans via the interface opposed to the router.

Thank you :)

[Ben Quinney]

Im quite confused. If i send to port 6666 i can see values coming in to VPT when i click monitor in but it cant control layers.

According to the above i need to use the TouchOSC patch that receives on port 6665, as this removes the /1 etc and control the layers that way.

However i dont see the values coming through VPT.

Any help is greatly appreciated here as my project cant continue till i work this out.

Thanks :)

Finally solved it!! 

For anyone who has problem with TouchOSC and VPT in the future my advice is to not use the OSC interface patch. Instead create your own layout in TouchOSC editor and give your controls the values you wish.
The correct format for these messages can be found here : http://nervousvision.com/vpt/VPT_osc_overview.htm
Making sure that TouchOSC is sending to port 6666 as VPT requires.
