Describe your issue here:
I hope to send osc lyrics string to Madmapper
Does Ableset also send osc. I found the /lyrics/[slug]current in the docs
Is this possible?
I have only sent lyrics from quarts composer in the past this way so I might be missing something.
Thanks!

Hey @Mattwalker7362514, welcome to the AbleSet community!
AbleSet sends events about the current, previous, and next lyrics line for each lyrics track to all clients that have subscribed to AbleSet.
To subscribe to events, send an OSC message to AbleSet that looks like this: /subscribe [IP] [port] [name]
, where [IP]
is the IP address of the computer running Madmapper, [port]
is the port that Madmapper is listening to OSC messages on, and [name]
can be any name that is used to identify the client.
You can learn more about subscribing and all available events here: Controlling AbleSet via OSC – AbleSet
I hope this helps! ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://forum.ableset.app/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=12)
Leo, Ableset will be a game changer for me. I am still dusting off my osc workflows and I am still learning. I am not sure where to put the line in madmapper. I am not totally sure it sends osc but I know it receives it. So far I am not having luck.
Is the line written as /subscribe/192.168.1.221:8010/ madmapper
Its address for text in madmapper is. medias/text_generator/font/text
I will link a video of cue lab sending text to madmapper.
Thanks for creating this amazing tool!!

Hey @Mattwalker7362514,
I’ve recently released a beta version of AbleSet that allows you to send custom timed OSC commands using MIDI clips in the arrangement view: AbleSet 2.7.0-beta.5
Here’s the documentation I have so far: Sending Timed OSC Commands with OSC Tracks – AbleSet
I’d love to hear what you think if you try this feature out!
Leo,
I am super happy that this is an option. I did try sending lyrics a few days after the 2.7 beta was up but could not figure out how to get Madmapper to take the osc. I plan on using it and think I still need to remember my osc basics workfkows. I know it will do it and can’t wait to try it again.
I am very grateful you added this feature.
Thanks for reaching out and letting me know this was available.
I will let you know when I get to test it out again and how it goes.
Matt Walker
