Hi Paul,
I just released OSCulator 3.0 release candidate 1.
The locking problem on macOS Sierra should be fixed now, and you can lock the file (and consequently locking the OSC input) right from OSCulator.

Thank you for the quick reply!
Originally posted by camille View PostI just tried with the version you mentionned and got the expected result:
When the document is locked from the Finder "Get Info" window, the OSCulator list becomes grey and no unknown OSC messages are accepted. Furthermore, you can't manually change or create a new mapping (formely known as preset), or change the OSC input port.
Conversely, when the "Locked" checkbox is unchecked, the message list becomes editable again and OSCulator creates a new entry for received unknown OSC messages.
If it did not behave that way on your side, I'd be happy to have a closer look at your osc3 file. Please send it to camille@osculator.net.

Also, it is worth noting that I am running into this issue while using macOS Sierra. I have not tried the beta on any previous OS versions.
Originally posted by camille View PostThe current beta seems pretty stable. I know there is a bug crashing the app when a window is closed but it seems it only happens randomly, so it is a bit hard to track.
I wished I got more user feedback, though I can see the beta program had some good success. If I can find some time next couple of weeks, I will roll a golden master candidate and make it the default download.
As always, your suggestions are welcome.
Thanks again!

Hi Paul!
I'm still having some trouble figuring out how to lock input in the beta (version: 3.0-beta-26-gab18a5a). I tried locking the doc from the 'get info' window, but it didn't seem to change anything.

Also, just curious, is there any estimated timeframe for when a full release might be made??

Hi balam,
Wiimote TUIO output àla Wiimote Whiteboard
The setup is as follows:- The wiimote is on a stand, facing a screen (possibily a large projection on a wall)
- You use a IR light source, placed close to the screen plane to act as a pointer
See this video of Johnny Lee demonstrating the concept.
Before you can use the Whiteboard emulation, you have to calibrate OSCulator. You do this by launching the calibration tool. 4 bullseyes will be displayed, and for each bullseye, you must flash your IR light once. Once the 4 corners are calibrated, you can dismiss the calibration window, and start doing whatever you want with the signal from OSCulator.

Hi clik,
Can't see a Lock option where it used to be, under the Routing dropdown...
Note there was a bug in the first beta where input locking would not properly work, this is fixed now, so please run the automatic update.
About the UI: right now in version 3.0-beta, open a Finder window, choose File -> Get Info, and check the "Locked" checkbox. Not only, it does the right thing by preventing accidental overwrite of the file, but also OSCulator locks the inputs.
In a future version of OSCulator, you will be able to lock the document right from the main window. This will be a bit more intuitive I guess.
Scroll bar behaviour - can you tweak the Scalings page to shift the Out. max column to the left away from the scroll bar? I know this is only an issue because I have the 'Show Scroll Bars' set to 'Automatically based on mouse or trackpad' in Sierra's System Preferences/General... or maybe an OSCulator preference to override that systemwide behaviour?
Best,
Cam

Hi John,
I am sorry for the lack of clarity regarding upgrade price, I was waiting for the actual release to devise upgrade offers.
OSCulator 3 will be:
- free for users that purchased OSCulator 2 between February 21th 2016 and September 20th 2016.
- 50% off for users that purchased OSCulator 2 between September 20th 2015 and February 20th 2016.
At the moment, I have not found a solution to make the upgrade automatic, so the discount is applied on request.
So in your case, you purchased OSCulator 2 on May 2016, which means that you are entitled to a free upgrade.
You will receive an e-mail to get your license in a short while.
Best,
Cam

Hi,
I have purchased a licence for osculator. Do I have to re-purchase to be able to use this version. I have just updated to macOS 10.12 so I can't use the old version anymore.

Sure.
MIDI Templates are two things:
- A way to send and receive generic MIDI messages, like SysEx, bank messages, etc, things that were previously difficult or impossible to make with OSCulator.
- A graphical user interface to specify how the messages are built. If you know how a MIDI message is made, then it is easy to substitute a value received from OSC.
When you have created a MIDI Template, you can start using the "MIDI Message" event. A MIDI Message event receives a value from OSC, and translate the value to a MIDI message according to the template specification.
So does it work? In the template editor, you first write the bytes of the MIDI message you would like to send. Then you say what parts of the message have to be substituted with actual values (input value, MIDI output channel, etc.).
Here is an example of the Control Change 1:
MIDI Template Control Change 1.jpg
- The letter 'B' is the hexadecimal representation of the binary number 1011, and 1011 is the number for a Control Change MIDI message (this is explained here).
- The '0' just after the 'B' will be replaced with the MIDI output channel.
- Then '01' is the byte specifying that this is Control Change 1.
- Finally, the last byte '00' is replaced entirely with the OSC input value.
One important limitation of MIDI Templates is that you can only use a single input value. There is currently no way of substituting many different inputs.
I hope this introduction is clear enough, let me know if you have more questions.
Best,
Cam

Hi Kevin,
Yes, the driver is the same, just improved internally.
There is no option for the Balance Board, it is recognized automatically.
Best,

Greetings Camille,
Is the Wii balance board going to part of 3.0? I couldn't see the option unless I was missing something.
Thank you,
Kevin
