![]() VDMX and the web controller support the optional 'bi-directional' communication part of the OSCQuery specification – note that as we adjust parameters within one device / application, the values are updated in the displays of other software to match.Load this URL on mobile devices, tablets and other computers on the local network to control published parameters from VDMX. Webpage control: Go to VDMX Preferences > OSC > OSC Query and click the URL for " Interactive HTML Interface" – a web page controller will appear in a web browser.On a second computer, in VDMX, the OSCQuery Client plugin is used to create interfaces that remotely access the published parameters from the first computer.On a second computer (or on the same computer if only using a single machine to follow along), open the OSCQuery Browser, and observe that the list of parameters from the Control Surface can be browsed and remotely controlled.Use the UI Inspector to adjust interface settings: Make one button into a momentary and configure the pop-up button with menu options.From the Control Surface inspector, add a slider, two buttons, a pop-up button, a color picker, a text field and a 2D point picker.From the Workspace Inspector > Plugins, add a Control Surface plugin to the project.The overview of steps from this tutorial are: This same technique of accessing publishing parameters can be used with other OSCQuery enabled tools such as Mitti, Mad Mapper and libossia. In this video tutorial we'll be looking at the basics of using OSCQuery protocol from within the Control Surface, and three ways that those parameters can be accessed from software running on other devices: using our free OSCQuery Browser utility, another copy of VDMX and a web browser running on an iPhone. The Control Surface plugin also has the ability to publish its list of parameters over a local area network using the OSCQuery protocol so that other software can remotely browse and control almost any aspect of your VDMX project. The Control Surface is one of the most widely versatile plugins in VDMX, making it possible to create sets of custom interface elements that can be used to control nearly any aspect of your workspace or send MIDI / OSC / DMX to other systems. The built-in OSCQuery Browser window, viewing OSC parameters from a remote control surface.Ī free lightweight standalone OSCQuery Browser utility is also available for download.Īlso see the documentation notes for using OSCQuery in VDMX. Dragged the listed item on to UI elements in VDMX (such as sliders, buttons, and color wheels – this also works with the list of variables in the Cue List plugin inspector) to automatically configure OSC sending to the remote hosts.Use the provided interface control to quickly send test data.For each of the listed OSC address destinations at the remote server you can: From this panel you can access, browse and search the namespaces of other applications. The built-in OSCQuery Browser Window can be opened from the Window menu or by using the cmd+5 keyboard shortcut. ![]() Within VDMX there are a few ways to take advantage of this and in this tutorial we will focus on using the built-in OSCQuery Browser window which can be used to browse the address space of a server, send OSC messages and add OSC sending elements to our workspace. The OSCQuery protocol makes it easy for software that supports OSC to access each others parameters for remote control, without a lengthy setup process. The Control Surface plugin can be used to publish parameters from your local workspace. Also see the tutorial on using the OSCQuery Client plugin which can be used to create dedicated interface controls to remotely control other software.
