@Dan-Korneff Thanks!

[d.healey]

Excellent! @Lindon Add this to your VI-Control post ;)

[Casey Kolb]

@Christoph-Hart Very cool! Looks like it may have broken compilation? I'll revert the commit for now

[d.healey]

@Casey-Kolb Use xcode 13.1

[Christoph Hart]

@Casey-Kolb Make sure you resave the HISE projucer project so that it adds the new module. This looks like a linker error because it can't find the new juce_osc.cpp file.

[Casey Kolb]

@d-healey yup already doing that

[Christoph Hart]

This looks like a linker error because it can't find the new juce_osc.cpp file.

Definitely this, I checked without resaving and it gives me the same linker errors. Resave and open in Xcode then build again.

Can OSC be used to communicate between plugin instances?

[Christoph Hart]

Let me check...

[Christoph Hart]

So you can send OSC messages between two HISE instances, so I guess it should work between plugins too.

HISE 1:

const var rm = Engine.getGlobalRoutingManager();

rm.connectToOSC({
	"SourcePort": 6666,
	"TargetPort": 6667,
	"Domain": "/interhise"
}, 0);

rm.sendOSCMessage("/funky", "Hallo");

rm.addOSCCallback("/funky", function(id, value)
{
	Console.print(value);	
});

HISE 2:

const var rm = Engine.getGlobalRoutingManager();

rm.connectToOSC({
	"SourcePort": 6667, // Note how the source port and target port are
	"TargetPort": 6666, // reversed here to allow bidirectional communication
	"Domain": "/interhise"
}, 0);

// Compile the other script and it will show up here
rm.addOSCCallback("/funky", function(id, value)
{
	Console.print(value);
	
	rm.sendOSCMessage("/funky", "Back at you");
});

@Christoph-Hart Ooo this opens up a lot of possibilities. I'm thinking of a real-time divisi system :)

[Christoph Hart]

Yes now that you mention it, it definitely improves the interprocess abilities. Not sure what happens if you use the same port for input / output, but if you're brave you can find it out yourself.
