+ | ??? How do I send messages coming from one device to two computers? | ||
+ | !!! There are two ways of doing this: | ||
+ | - First option, use OSCulator' | ||
+ | * First, run OSCulator on both computers. | ||
+ | * Choose one computer as the master and the other as the slave. | ||
+ | * In the main list of the master computer, locate the message you want to send to the slave computer, and duplicate it (Command-D) | ||
+ | * Open the Parameters Window, and go to the OSC tab | ||
+ | * In the table at the top, define a new target by choosing an empty slot, click on the gear icon, then choose the item that matches your slave computer (you should see the OSCulator service with your computer name in the list). Remember the slot number (most of the time it should be slot number 2). | ||
+ | * In the table at the bottom, add a new routing by clicking the + button, and change the slot number from default slot (Đ) to the number you've just memorized (2 for instance). | ||
+ | * Close the Parameters Window. | ||
+ | * Finally assign the newly created OSC routing to one of your duplicated message. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Second option, use the oscbroadcast tool. This solution is a little bit more advanced, but has the advantage of routing every OSC message without distinction and is therefore more powerful. | ||
+ | * [[http:// | ||
+ | * Start the tool using the command line, for example: < | ||
+ | * Setup your iPad or iPhone device to send data to a oscbroadcast OSC port (here 3333). | ||
