In our introduction tutorial for working with Processing and VDMX we examined how to manually configure sending OSC messages from VDMX interface items to control properties of a Processing sketch running in the background. For this follow up lesson we will look at how the OSCQuery Helper tool can be used to publish the OSC address space for a sketch so that they can be remotely accessed by other software like VDMX or the OSCQuery Browser tool.

One of the most powerful tools for working with MIDI and OSC control data is Max, which is widely known for its easy to use interface for “patching” and working with data streams. While Max does not yet support OSCQuery natively, it is a great example of how the free OSCQuery Helper and MIDI OSCQuery Helper tools can be used to publish OSC and MIDI parameters from Max patches so that they can be remotely accessed by other software like VDMX and the OSCQuery Browser.
In this set of tutorials we’ll look at the process for adding basic MIDI and OSC inputs in a simple Max patch and then creating a JSON file that describes the routings. Once those are prepared we can see how to access these parameters using other software in the OSCQuery ecosystem.
