OSC XY Pad Crashes Izzy

Chizzer

Hi.
Strangest thing....
I have a two scene setup using touchosc and ipad to activate video, etc.
I added an XY Pad with an OSC listener on channel 8 to the second scene.
However, every time I touch the xy pad, Isadora crashes.

If I open a single new scene with osc listener and add the xy pad, it receives the signal and works fine.
Even if I add a new blank third scene, isadora quits.
I have tried deleting the xy pad and adding a new one with a different channel, same experience.
There isn't any conflict with channel numbers, not certain what is going on.

However, sometimes when adding the xy pad to touchosc the cross-hairs usually found on the xy pad do not show up until you touch the xy pad.
When this happens, even though the xy pad is identified as /isadora/8 - it activates the osc watcher in izzy on channel 2... and does not crash.
Weird stuff.

Dear Chizzer,

Are you speaking about TouchOSC? Or something else when you refer to XY Pad? Or are you talking about a 2D Slider in the Control panel.

Please clarify and I'll try to help.

Best Wishes,

xy pad should be sent as /isadora-multi/

/isadora-multi/1

will give you X and Y on OSC channel 1 and 2

Hello All is it possible to have more than one xy pad? when i use /isadora-multi/4 e.g. nothing happens. but it works with /isadora-multi/1. thanks

Dear Oscar,

Better than using /isadora-multi/1, use the standard TouchOSC your own custom IDs (not /isadora or /isadora-multi) and then set them up in the Stream Setup window.

For example, using one of the standard TouchOSC setups:

1) Open Stream Setup window from Communications menu

2) Click "Auto-Detect Input"

3) Move the controls on TouchOSC to which you wish to "listen" -- these will appear in the Stream Setup window

4) Assign port numbers to the inputs

5) Close the window

6) Add OSC Listeners to listen to the data.

When I do as described above, and move the X/Y controllers around, I see this in the Stream Setup:

You can then click "Renumber Ports" and it will assign the ports 1, 3, 5, and 7\. Why is it skipping numbers? Because these OSC inputs provide two numbers -- X and Y. So, for the first address (/3/xy2) you will listen to X on OSC port 1, and Y on OSC port 2.

Hopefully that's enough to get you going.

Best Wishes,
