Osc Communication Questions

Hi,
I’d like create videos that dinamically responds to Renoise songs. I’m going to use Processing (www.processing.org) and I thought I could use osc messages to obtain better results instead of FFT analysis.

I have two questions:

  1. Can Renoise send osc messages? Is it a basic feature or would it be possibile by writing a specific script?
  2. If Renoise could send osc messages, how can I send them to another laptop? Do I need to create a lan with a router or just connects the laptops with an ethernet cable? Or what?

1:Yes it can send OSC messages. It offers some basic features for receiving:

For sending you need to write your own OSC client to transmit OSC packages of your own design. You are completely free in designing your OSC messages for broadcasting:

2:That is simple networking strategy: If you have a cross-cable, you don’t need a router to directly link two pc’s or laptops with eachother. The only thing that is important is that the ip range of both computers, fall in the same subnet mask. (255.255.255.0 means, the first three digits of both ip addresses need to be exactly the same, the last figure needs to be unique).
If you have a router, this rule still counts, but you can use straight cables to connect everything with eachother.

Thanks, now I have some stuff to study.

Here is an example of OSC output in Renoise: Osc Output Initial Version
