Hi. is this new js based version a complete replacement for the oct-14 version, or is this just a max 7 version?

#3

very interesting news. how about grid spanning and emulation?

#4

yes that’s the goal!

#5

What’s the github URL? https://github.com/tehn/serialosc ?

#6

My question as a newb is how I use this? Do i simply run the script once?

#7

This is great news. I’ve been finding serial osc a bit unstable on 10.9.5. Hopefully this resolves with the new update.

Best of luck wrapping it up. :coffee:

#8

still testing cross-platform. apologies for the delay.

unless you want to compile the dev branch yourself, i’d suggest waiting for the release installers.

#9

Any progress on this? Maybe you could provide instructions for compiling from source for now?

#10


i’m not going to provide complete instructions since there is the potential for many things to go wrong and it’d take me a very long time to cover all of the dependencies. there are basic waf instructions in the libmonome readme.

i may try to get the mac version posted prior to the windows version being finished, will hasn’t had much time lately.

also, just a note-- the currently available serialosc works very well. this new version is minor improvements helpful for debugging and knowing what’s going on.

#11

Thanks for the info! I’ve had serious issues when using my Arduino-based controller together with the current serialosc since Mavericks. I was hoping this would be resolved with the new version?

#12

Now the new website is live, it might be good to do a page on all the ways serialosc/monomes can interact with Max7/BEAP etc.

I remember a great serialosc video about how we can now use our grids in Max for input/UI stuff but not sure if this was ever formalised.

I’m looking at ways to bring my grid into my max patches and this would be a good way to start before learning the coding/scripting stuff.

#13

didn’t stretta do a BEAP intro video?

i’m not sure what else to say about Max other than BEAP and the Grid Studies… what specifically would you suggest?

#14

There’s a monome devtools patch you can download from the extend page on monome.org (hope I remember that correctly) which makes it all pretty clear imo. At least, that’s where I got started. It explains all the syntax for connecting to the grid (or arc) and sending/receiving commands to and from it. Pretty straightforward.

#15

have you seen this?

http://monome.org/docs/grid-studies/max

#16

thanks for the answers, I’m saving the grid studies page for when I’ve can devote more time to it, I’m still only 6 months into learning Max.

it was a expanded, written version of this that I was looking for:

just showing all the cool things you can now do with serialosc.maxpat & max 7 that are wired in under the hood.

I remembered seeing the video but then never saw anything further documenting this, perhaps its all hiding in the .maxhelp files in Max 7. I’ll have a look tonight.

#17

Where can I find serialosc-monitor?

#18

Ah, found this and it seems to do what I need:

#19

hey!
uhm, i’m on max 6 and using a 2009 256 device, an older version of serialosc, mac yosemite and everythings working perfectly. is there a need or would i have any advantages if i upgrade to max7 and the new serialosc?

#20

Was there a serialosc update? I don’t know where to find it. Is it only on the Github and you need to build it? Does it support encoders on 40h? Thanks!

Jimmy

#21

the current serialosc installer is good. we have a new version with somewhat invisible improvements that’s waiting for packaging and an auxiliary monitoring app.

40h encoders are very poorly supported-- i’m not sure if they’re in serialosc. you may want to run monomeserial, which will create different headaches possibly. what is your goal?

Modern alternative to Griddle for merging monomes/arduinomes?
