You should see something like the following: Turn the knobs on your Twister and examine the main OSCulator window.Run OSCulator and make sure it is listening on port 8000, the same port on which Gig Performer is sending OSC messages.The Gig Performer widgets should be responding as you turn knobs on the Twister but turning the Gig Performer widgets doesn’t affect the Twister. I use names like Knob1, Knob2, Knob3 because our Lemur template is already configured to recognize those names. Assign a unique OSC name to each widget.Switch to Edit mode and learn a MIDI event for each widget.Create a new gig and drag a couple of widgets onto a panel.you have a device such as the MIDI Fighter Twister that you want to use with Gig Performer.you have already configured Gig Performer’s OSC settings appropriately, and.you know how to use the widget MIDI Learn facility,.you are already familiar with Gig Performer’s editing features,.you have Gig Performer and OSCulator running,.See this article for information on how to do this. Then we will use OSCulator to recognize those messages and convert them to MIDI CC events that are then sent to the Twister control surface.īy the way, if you’re already using Gig Performer’s OSC mechanism with a control surface such as Lemur, you’re going to need to configure Gig Performer to use Broadcast Mode for OSC messages. We’re going to leverage Gig Performer’s OSC functionality so that widgets send out OSC messages when they’re turned. Now, by its very nature, OSCulator is a complicated application but I’m going to provide step-by-step instructions complete with images so you can see how to do it. We’ll get around to supporting this directly at some point, but in the meantime, you can use OSCulator so solve the problem. Now, there are ways around this by associating a widget with a CC parameter in a MIDI Out block but then you’ll also need to use the widget grouping feature so that you can have another widget that will control the desired plugin parameter. However, Gig Performer widgets do not send out MIDI messages directly so if you have a MIDI controller like the MIDI Fighter Twister (an expensive but really cool surface) with endless knobs and LEDs that can display current position, turning a Gig Performer widget will not be reflected in the Twister. For example, you can associate a widget with a knob on your MIDI controller for example. Gig Performer widgets can learn external MIDI events so as to respond to them. Right now, I’m experimenting with it to solve a problem that is due to a currently missing feature in Gig Performer. Or you can receive OSC messages from Gig Performer widgets and control a Wiimote! For example, you can configure it to receive MIDI notes and have it send keystrokes (yes, that’s right, as if you are typing) to an application. If you’re on a Mac, there’s a great app out there called OSCulator that can be used to transform pretty much any input to any output.
