 +==== OSC enabled software or device like the Lemur ==== 
 + 
 +  * Any OSC enabled software or device can natively send data to OSCulator.  All you have to do is to make sure that the OSC output port of your device matches the OSC input port of OSCulator. 
 +  * Software based on the TUIO protocol will work out of the box too, though it might be easier for you to use the OSC input port ''3333''
 +  * The [[http://www.jazzmutant.com/|JazzMutant Lemur]] is usually sending its data on port ''8000''
 +  * To know the IP address of your computer, open the Network Utility application ((located in /Applications/Utilities)) and look for the IP Address. 
 +    * if your computer is connect with Airport, change the drop down menu to ''Network Interface (en1)'' 
 +    * if your computer is connect with Ethernet, change the drop down menu to ''Network Interface (en0)''

 +===== Output Setup =====
  
 Now that you have a working input, you can transform the incoming data to something useful. Now that you have a working input, you can transform the incoming data to something useful.
 +
 +Each line in OSCulator represents a received message.  There is a blinking light to indicate when activity has changed, so you know when data comes in.  The Event Type and Value columns are important, the first lets you choose the nature of the action you want to perform with your controller, and the second lets you configure it.
 +
 +For the sake of keeping the quick start guide minimal, we will only describe the MIDI Control Change configuration.
 +
 +==== MIDI Control Changes ====
 +
 +To be able to send MIDI Control Change data:
 +  - locate the message that corresponds to the particular control you want to bind and choose ''MIDI CC'' in the Event Type column
 +    * for example if you want to use the Roll of the Wiimote to control MIDI CC #16, select the message "1: roll" under ''/wii/1/accel/pry''.
 +  - in the Value column, choose the control change number
 +  - now go to the software that will receive the control changes (Ableton Live for example), and open the preference for this software.  There should be a MIDI panel where you must activate the "OSCulator Input" virtual MIDI interface.
 +  - depending on how the target software work, you may want to activate a MIDI learn mode((like in Live)), or manually configure the control change number((like in Traktor)).
