OSC format/syntax issue

Support
1

I am trying to figure out an OSC formatting issue.

My track is setup as External +OSC [ip.address:port]

My midi clips are set up as <location/39/0/1/press>

This sends an OSC message to companion to press a button. This works great.

I’ve tried to streamline this process a little and have set up a track as:

External +OSC [ip.address:port/location/39/5/]

And my midi clip is <1/press>

This shows up in the OSC monitor in settings as sending the <1/press> as a string message and it doesn’t end up interacting with Companion. Just wondering if there is someway to make this work. Thank you. I’m on 3.5 currently.

  • Version of AbleSet: (e.g. 2.2.3)
  • Version of Ableton Live: (e.g. 11.3.3)

Hey @iamderkis,

Unfortunately, what you’re trying to do isn’t currently possible with AbleSet. It will always interpret clip names as parameters if you have a path set in the track name.

The easiest workaround would be to include the entire path in the clip name. This isn’t the prettiest solution, but I hope it still works for your use case :slight_smile:
