Hey guys, does Resolume 6 support text via OSC? Example, clip or deck names, or BPM. Also kind of disappointed I can't do a metronome over OSC.

Can we please add this as a feature for Resolume 6.0.2? I know everyone would love clip thumbnails but this text should be pretty attainable.

Resolume 6 supports text via OSC.
You can ask for the names by putting a question mark before the addresses.
Addresses for names are pretty straightforward, for example layer 1 name:
/composition/layers/1/name
to set it send a string to this address.
As another example, a column 3's address is
/composition/columns/3/name
A clip's address is
/composition/layers/3/clips/5/name
you see the scheme right, this is layer 3 clip 5.
The composition BPM's address is
/composition/tempocontroller/tempo

You can find out any address and expected value type and range by going to Shortcuts menu-Edit OSC and clicking on colored items.

Would you want to get a metronome signal via OSC?

Thank you so much. I would love to have a metronome over OSC. I know Ableton Link works so the feature is at least attainable.

Does any of this work with Resolume 5? I have another PC with Resolume 5.

Yes, except the '?' query.
Also the addresses are different.
You get the clip names on deck load.
Column renaming is not possible in Resolume 5.

What are the addresses for names in Resolume 5? I can't find them within the program.

Go to Mapping>Edit Application OSC Map and when you click on anything you should see the OSC address for Input and Output in the lower left corner of the screen.

That much is obvious, however there is no address listed for names of objects, which is what I was referring to. Post edited.

/composition/deck1/name
this works

/layer1/clip1/name
this also works

You address the objects with the addresses you can see in OSC mapping.
If you put /name behind those, and the object supports it, you can set the name for it.
For example a clip name would be
/layer1/clip2/name

edit: now I see your post...
