Behringer X32 OSC Support
Posted: 06 Apr 2015 18:33
Hey everyone!
I have dug up a little bit of information on this subject but there is nothing recent covering the subject. I have sent a ticket to Liine support but they also seem to be unaware of what is going on. Lemur seems to have an issue connecting any type of OSC control to the Behringer x32. Its first suspected that it is an issue with Behringer, but I have found that Lemur is the only OSC application that will not work. So far Touch OSC, OSCulator, and even a simple OSC plugin built in max for live connects straight forward no problem. Because the others work I have been able to find work arounds to get the control that I need by routing Lemur to OSCulator or midi control with the max for live plugin. I have been using the max for live plugin primarily but we all know that the resolution of midi is inferior to osc.
It would be a lot simpler if Lemur could just connect to it like it should. The question is why doesn't it? Is this an isolated case for Lemur? Is the Behringers problem or is it Liines? All I know is im certain it doesn't work. Behringers OSC Remote protocol PDF gives the specifications on what it needs to receive OSC. It has been rumored that Lemur sends in different in a different OSC bit value which causes connecting issues. But I really dont know. It seems that if it is something that Liine is lacking in their OSC code in general then it is something that could be broken in other devices as well. I would assume that Liine would want to remedy this if it is a compatibility flaw.
A direct solution to use OSC from Lemur to the Behringer X32 would be amazing, and really is what Lemur is designed to do in the first place. OSCulator is a simple and full on work around, but it is $20 extra. It seems ridiculous to send from Lemur to a computer with mirrored OSC addresses just to forward it to the x32.
Lets get this ball rolling a little.
