ComfyUI Node: FLOAT OSC Control @ vrch.ai

FLOAT OSC Control @ vrch.ai:

The VrchFloatOSCControlNode is designed to facilitate the integration of Open Sound Control (OSC) messages into your creative workflows, specifically focusing on handling floating-point values. This node acts as a bridge between OSC messages and your application, allowing you to receive, process, and utilize float data in real-time. It is particularly beneficial for artists and developers who want to incorporate dynamic, real-time data into their projects, such as controlling visual or audio parameters with external devices or software. The node ensures that the received float values are accurately mapped and processed, providing a seamless experience in managing OSC data. By leveraging this node, you can enhance your interactive installations or performances with precise and responsive control over float-based parameters.

FLOAT OSC Control @ vrch.ai Input Parameters:

server_ip

The server_ip parameter specifies the IP address of the OSC server that the node will connect to. This is crucial for establishing a network connection to receive OSC messages. Ensure that the IP address is correctly set to match the server you intend to communicate with.

port

The port parameter defines the network port on which the OSC server is listening. It is essential to set this to the correct port number to ensure successful communication between the node and the OSC server. The port number must be within the valid range for network ports, typically between 1024 and 65535.

path

The path parameter indicates the OSC address path that the node will listen to for incoming messages. This path acts as a filter, allowing the node to process only the messages that match the specified address. It is important to set this path correctly to ensure that the node receives the intended OSC messages.

output_min

The output_min parameter sets the minimum value for the output range after remapping the received float value. This parameter is used to scale the incoming data to a desired range, ensuring that the output values are within a specified lower bound. The value must be less than or equal to output_max.

output_max

The output_max parameter sets the maximum value for the output range after remapping the received float value. Similar to output_min, this parameter is used to scale the incoming data to a desired range, ensuring that the output values do not exceed a specified upper bound. The value must be greater than or equal to output_min.

input_min

The input_min parameter defines the minimum expected value of the incoming float data. This is used in conjunction with input_max to determine the range of the input data for remapping purposes. The value must be less than or equal to input_max.

input_max

The input_max parameter defines the maximum expected value of the incoming float data. This is used in conjunction with input_min to determine the range of the input data for remapping purposes. The value must be greater than or equal to input_min.

output_invert

The output_invert parameter is a boolean that determines whether the output range should be inverted. If set to true, the remapped output values will be inverted, effectively swapping the output_min and output_max values. This can be useful for reversing the effect of the incoming data.

debug

The debug parameter is a boolean that enables or disables debug mode. When enabled, the node will print debug information to the console, which can be helpful for troubleshooting and ensuring that the node is functioning as expected.

FLOAT OSC Control @ vrch.ai Output Parameters:

value

The value output parameter represents the remapped float value received from the OSC message. This value is the result of processing the incoming data according to the specified input and output ranges, as well as any inversion settings. It is the primary output of the node and can be used to control various parameters in your application.

FLOAT OSC Control @ vrch.ai Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the server_ip and port parameters are correctly set to match your OSC server's configuration to avoid connection issues.
• Use the path parameter to filter incoming OSC messages, ensuring that only relevant data is processed by the node.
• Adjust the input_min, input_max, output_min, and output_max parameters to scale the incoming data to a suitable range for your application.
• Enable the debug mode if you encounter issues, as it provides valuable information about the node's operation and can help identify problems.

FLOAT OSC Control @ vrch.ai Common Errors and Solutions:

Output min value cannot be greater than max value.

• Explanation: This error occurs when the output_min parameter is set to a value greater than output_max.
• Solution: Ensure that output_min is less than or equal to output_max to define a valid output range.

Input min value cannot be greater than max value.

• Explanation: This error occurs when the input_min parameter is set to a value greater than input_max.
• Solution: Ensure that input_min is less than or equal to input_max to define a valid input range.

Failed to connect to OSC server.

• Explanation: This error may occur if the server_ip or port is incorrect, preventing the node from connecting to the OSC server.
• Solution: Verify that the server_ip and port parameters are correctly set to match the OSC server's configuration.
