Script to rewrite OSC for Kyma

[Cristian Vogel]

I work with OSC a lot mostly for communicating between apps and code, rather than external controllers.

I would like to share a script that I created during my research residency at ZKM earlier this year, useful for rewriting from standard OSC message syntax to Kyma widgets – directly in the Kyma signal flow.

This can be very handy when working with a large OSC protocol, that has many repeated messages, for example the Sonic Emotions Wave I wavefield synthesis system or Iannix gesture sequencer.  You can copy and paste a long list directly into the script.

Use this in a Script Sound and it will create widgets for you with the correct OSC formatting, contained in an array called ?IncomingOSCMessagesRewrittenForKyma 

You will then need to collect this array using a  SyntheticSpectrumFromArray or (if you are a NeverEngineLabs subscriber ) our ArrayToGlobal Controllers Class.

Good luck!

Kyma recognises float arguments over OSC
therefore add an ‘f’ seperated by spaces for each argument and you will get a seperate

I made a little mistake in the code posted above… but seems like the forum won’t let me edit my post. The rewrite block should read:

 

rewriter:=
[:inputList |
| result |
result := OrderedCollection new.
inputList do: [:message |
| stem argCount  |
stem := (‘osc_’&(message copyFrom: 2 to: message size) copyReplaceAll: #($/) with: #($_)).

argCount := message occurrencesOf: $f.
(argCount > 0) ifTrue: [
(1 to: argCount) do: [:n | |
arg |
arg := (stem copyUpTo: $ )&’__’&n.
result add: (arg asHotValue).
]
] ifFalse: [    result add: (stem asHotValue).]
].
result
].
