Expert Sleepers Silent Way ES-4 Controller v1.7.2 - Manual (Page 17)

OSC Control
Silent Way plug-ins can be controlled via the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol.
If you’re new to OSC, start by visiting .
Two settings control what port the plug-in uses to listen on for OSC com-
mands. One is the base OSC port, set in the
preferences . The second is the
OSC Port Offset control. If the port offset is set to something other than
‘Off’, then the two numbers are added together and the result used as the
port number. E.g. if the base port is 6000 and the port offset is 1, then the
plug-in will listen on port 6001.
Reference
All Expert Sleepers plug-ins that support OSC share a common implementation. This is
documented in the ‘OSC Control Manual’, available from the Expert Sleepers website.
MIDI & OSC Scripting
It is possible to extend the plug-in’s MIDI & OSC functionality via user-writeable scripts.
Indeed, the standard MIDI functionality described above has been re-implemented using
such a script, which you can use as reference for your customisations.
The language used for the MIDI scripts is Lua. You will find a complete description of the
language, and some useful tutorials, at the Lua website:
www.lua.org
All the standard language features of Lua are available in the scripts, plus some extra func-
tions specific to the Expert Sleepers system.
