Disguise OSC with Companion

[@rapatski]

Ha so great to see Richie out here sharing wisdom. My question is, can you get the d3 osc connection to broadcast to the main AND backup?

[@hiveschool]

Glad you enjoyed it! The quick and dirty way is to set your module to a .255 ip address. That will boradcast the message to the whole subnet. The more considered way to do it is to set up multiple modules. One for main and one for backup. Then you can set more than one action per button press. So for example you could have a stop message for main and stop message for backup both fire off the same button.

Hey man, thanks for this great video. Are you familiar with Widget Designer by Coolux?? Do you know if there is a way we could use Widget Designer along with Diguise? If not, can you tell me if there is a way to use buttons to control faders in D3? Thanks

[@hiveschool]

You could definitely set up Widget Designer to control Disguise via OSC. If you want to us companion, I don't know of a way to control a fade via the OSC implementation. However if you set up Artnet control, the companion artnet module has the ability to fade a channel over a number of seconds on a button press.

So I spent a few hours trying to get Widget Designer to work with D3 on the same computer with no results. Unable to get Osc to light up green. Im pretty sure it's something small as Ive been through the menus a hundred times. Could you give me a quick tip or 2 as to what I might be doing wrong? Thanks.

I'm sorry @patriceaugustin3566 I don't have a Widget Designer dongle to be able to test here, but the Disguise implementation just basic OSC floats, I'm sure that Widget Designer can do it, but I can't really offer any pointers right now. Maybe I need to get a dongle so I can do some WD videos?!

@@hiveschoolThanks! Not sure what the demand would be since Pandoras Box has become almost obsolete. But the way I program PB shows, the power really is in Widget Designer so personally, being able to marry it with Disguise would give me a lot of added flexibility. I managed to figure out what the issue was. I was using loop out IP instead of broadcasting IP. I have all buttons working now to controls the transport manager. Currently struggling to get my faders to control individual layer brightness.

This sounds like a great idea. I can definitely do this.
