Ableton Forum

Hello, thanks in advance for anyone that can help here:

I have a vst plugin that can use OSC to communicate with live.

I'd like to be able to send OSC signals - lfo,s envelopes, gates etc to . instrument and effect parameters of AU or VST instruments or fx.

So, an example of this might be sending controller type data to a native instruments sytnh, lfo combined with envelope

Another example might be sending data to a rack parameter where i have linked a number of parameters together for modulation.

a final example might be sending data to send or volume faders either on a channel or on the sends themselves.

I am pretty sure that OSC is the baby for this - not sure if it works if the osc signal is being created inside the device tho - assuming it should..

I am a bit stuck here as not a m4l user very often, so don't know the devices / where to get the right stuff, figured I'd ask as well as trying to figure it out as the bright minds on the ableton forum usually have a way of fixing things I am trying to work out

Cheers

maybe you want to try a loopback program like MIDI yoke or loopbe? I haven't worked with OSC before but maybe you can use something like that to route the OSC out of your VST and into Ableton for mapping.

thanks,

Was hoping to do it inside max!
WIll look at alternatives if it's not possible tho...

Cheers

Use a send object to send osc data to other patches with receive patches and osc filtering. Or use the api to control devices directly
