Piano mode with OSC?

Post by JoeHut »

Hello everyone!

First post here, but I tried to search for this specific case in the forum and couldn't find anything about it, so I thought I might just open a thread and ask :(

Basically I'm trying to control clips in Arena via "Piano Mode" using OSC (specifically oscp5), but what I was wondering is if I can hold a command (like a piano key) and have a clip play until release.

I tried this by sending the OSC message "/composition/layers/3/clips/1/connect 1" to Arena and holding the key I'm using the send the message, but Arena keeps starting the clip over and over instead.

I guess that makes sense since it is receveing the command to start the clip, but I was wondering what can I use to make it work like a piano key instead (i.e. play the clip until I hold the button)

Thank you in advance, I hope all of this was comprehensible :oops:

OSC is a momentary messaging system, sending in 1 is like pushing a button,
try sending an int 0 for release.
