Activating OSC¶

If you want Antescofo to receive and send OSC messages, you should send it the Max/MSP or Puredata object the message ascographcomm 1.

Other messages can be useful:

• incomingosc [1|0]
• IncmingOscPort [port] port from which receiving OSC messages
• ascographconf [host] [port] host and port to send message to

OSC messages sent and received by Antescofo¶

Antescofo sends and receives OSC messages during its execution, in addition to the user-defined OSC messages. You can use them to monitor an Antescofo execution.

Messages sent by Antescofo¶

All messages are prefixed with /antescofo/.

Messages for the Ascograph window¶

• width w
• height h
• positionxy x y where x:int and y:int
• hidetoppanel
• showtoppanel
• patch_receivers strs where strs: string vector. Used for autocompletion.
• quit

Messages to send the score from Antescofo by chunks¶

• loadscore finalname where finalname: string
• preloadscore fname pname where fname: string and pname: string
• startpreloaded p_name where p_name: string
• clear_score nb_chunks where nb_chunks: int
• current_score_append n_chunk data where n_chunk:int and data: string

Information about execution¶

• stop
• event_beatpos pos where pos: int
• rnow v where v:double
• tempo v where v:double
• pitch v where v:double

Trace messages (each time an action is fired)¶

They are built a follows:

action_trace action_name type fathername now rnow message

action_name is the label of the action.

Possible types are:

• message
• abort
• abortof
• assignment
• local_assignment
• tab_assignment
• osc_recv
• osc_off
• osc_on
• open_file
• close_file
• internal_command
• conditional
• switch
• group
• loop
• for
• whenever
• curve
• DataCurve
• patch activation

If the action has no parents, fathername is Top_level. Otherwise, it is the label of the parent's action. message is a value that depends on the type of the action. For instance, for an assignement, it is the assigned value.

Messages received by Antescofo¶

Antescofo processes OSC messages with internal commands, the same as for MAX/MSP and Puredata.
