Behringer's XR18 mixer speaks OSC natively. It can also be controlled by MIDI, but only a very limited subset of parameters.
It looks to me like OSCulator should be able to read a generic MIDI controller and spit out OSC to run any parameter on an X Air mixer over ethernet,
as well as sending back to update the controller. Unfortunately, I can't get OSCulator to see my XR18. I'm sure it's something simple. I'm hoping one of y'all can help.
I have my MIDI Fighter Twister controller listed under Parameters-I/O, and when I turn a knob, OSCulator posts the MIDI CC.
OSCulator has OSC input port set to 10024, which is the XR18's port. I also tried the default 8000.
Under Parameters-OSC Routing, I entered the XR18's address as 192.168.0.128:10024, which it changed to osc.udp://192.168.0.128:10024.
The XR18 does not show up under the Nearby OSC Services pulldown in that screen. The Macbook OSCulator is running on does.
There's an XR18 utility called X-Air Live Toolbox for OSC experimentation. When it connects from it's Testing screen,
it sends /info to 192.168.0.128:10024, and receives the mixer name and firmware rev.
And when X-Air Live Toolbox sends /ch/01/mix/on ,i 1 the channel turns on.
This tells me that I have the correct address for the mixer.
OSCulator doesn't respond to any of this. I expect I have it set up wrong somehow.
