OSC Control

The OSC protocol can be used to remotely control Mixbus via Ethernet.

OSC Control provides the ability to initiate any “action” (i.e. anything that can be activated by a keybinding), as well as direct access to editor, track and bus settings. OSC can be used to “script” events in Mixbus using an external scripting platform. A complete description of OSC is beyond the scope of this manual.

There are 3 common programs used to remotely control Mixbus:

TouchOSC – see Harrison’s TTC-1 Control Layout for TouchOSC
Lemur – see Harrison’s LTI Control Layout for Lemur
Open Stage Control

The following is a summary of the features that are available from OSC:

(s) denotes a string argument
(i) denotes an integer argument
(f) denotes a float argument

Sending this message will trigger the associated keybinding “action” in Mixbus:

/access_action (s)
