Links

• RTcmix github repository -- the latest source code for RTcmix. You will need to grab (and compile) a 'standlone' version from here to use Michel's OSC work.
• opensoundcontrol.org -- the main OSC web page
• introduction to OSC -- the good 'start' page for OSC
• CNMAT downloads -- the 'odot' Max/MSP externals are located here; they are a very robust set of OSC objects from UC-Berkeley.

Class Downloads

No downloads (except for the above links), but here's what you need to do to get RTcmix running with the OSC server active:

1. Download and compile the latest 'standalone' RTcmix.

2. The executable command "CMIX" will be located in the RTcmix/bin directory.

3. Start up the CMIX process by invoking that executable:
    CMIX -c
the "-c" flag specifies that it should listen for CMIX score information on the OSC port. The current port is 8080 (we will most likely make this a command-line option in the near future).

4. Prior to sending any CMIX scores through the OSC port, you will need to configure RTcmix with the sampling rate and number of channels, and you will need to 'load' any instruments you will be using in your score(s). Send (for example) the following text to the RTcmix OSC port:
    rtsetparams(44100, 2)
    load("WAVETABLE")
    load("STRUM2")
This would set RTcmix to work with a 44.1k sampling rate, 2 channels. It would also load the "WAVETABLE" and "STRUM2" instruments for use.

You might also need to specify the sound output device if you are using something other than the system default. See the documentation for the set_option() RTcmix score command.
