Hi again,
this wouldnt work of course, my problem is a bit different than i thought.
in my path I will have many similar objects, far more that 20 possibly.
And the OSCroute object is limited to 20 addresses. So I use a normal
route object to route the info to the objects.
I need to send several types of messages to that object. Lets think its
a sample playr. When i play the sample i need to pass numbers like freq,
voluume, etc... but at some other point i also need to pass the object
the path to load the sample from the harddrive.
i am using the following structure for the OSC messages
/spin 1 100 100
meaning this
/adress identifier volume frequency
But at some other point i need to pass
/spin 1 "C:\mysound.wav"
or
/spin 1 "someothertag"
I attach an example of what i am doing.
suggestions are welcome.
thanks!
try casting your string to symbol with the [symbol] object before the
[select]
I see. but the problem is that I am sending several types of messages
under the same address like
/spin 111 0 12
/spin xxx
/spin zzz
maybe i should specify another address? like:
/spin/xxx 1
This way I might not need the select object but the OSCroute. Still
trying to format my way of thinking into OSC ;-)
