AbleSet 2.7.0-beta.5

  • Added support for OSC tracks
    • Any track that contains +OSC in its name can be used to send OSC commands either to AbleSet or to external targets
    • Commands on an OSC track are sent when the playhead reaches the MIDI clip. If you’d only like commands to be sent while Live is playing, add the [playing] attribute to the track name
    • A single clip can contain multiple commands, separated by semicolons
    • To set the target address for all clips on an OSC track, add the IP or hostname and port in square brackets to the track name, e.g. Light Desk +OSC [192.168.1.5:8001]
    • Muted tracks and muted clips are ignored
    • The settings page contains a new subpage that shows a list of all sent OSC commands and allows you to test sending OSC commands
  • Added an autocomplete feature to all OSC inputs that suggests available AbleSet OSC commands and provides inline documentation for them

Example of OSC tracks:

Super pumped for this! I had literally juuust figured out how to send out Custom OSC controls in Ableton, but its not the “prettiest” solution. Then 2 days later I get this email haha. This is super clean and easy. We’ll be trying it out this weekend at my church for triggering Qlab cues.

Awesome, I’m looking forward to your feedback!

I’ve also started working on the docs for this feature – you can find a first draft here: Sending Timed OSC Commands with OSC Tracks – AbleSet

Let me know if I’ve missed any important details :slight_smile:

This is great. I was actually using a lyrics channel for this, but the multiple osc messages is gonna make it cooler.
