machine name and port number that identifies the device or software on the network to
which the OSC messages will be sent.

You can use either a numeric IP address (e.g. 127.0.0.1) or a hostname (e.g. localhost) to
identify the host. This should be followed by a colon (‘:’) and then the port number.

Browsing for Targets (OS X only)

To the right of the Target field is a button labelled ‘Browse’. Clicking this
brings up a dialog which lists all the OSC services on the network that are

advertising themselves via ‘Bonjour’. Simply click on the service you want from the list
and click OK - this will set up the target name and port for you.

OSC Paths

OSC messages begin with a ‘path’, which
is simply a short section of text that gives
meaning to the message, as understood
by the target.

The format of the path is arbitrary. The path in the example image (“/1/fader1”) is in the
format used by the popular iPhone application ‘TouchOSC’, and addresses the first fader
on the first page of controls in that app.

The full message as sent by Silent Way CV To OSC is the path followed by a floating point
number, the number representing the CV voltage.

To set the path, click the box. A dialog
will appear into which you can type
your desired path.
