Hi Metehan and Alpay, Thank you for the speedy reply. I'm sorry, I am using a MIDI controller. It's a Remote Zero SL. (Not a VJ mixer? I called it that because it's what I see VJs using, but I guess it's properly called a MIDI controller.)
I want to use the fader knobs on the MIDI controller to control the left and right, and up and down movement of the puppet's eyes. Alpay, how do I convert the MIDI signal to OSC and set up that UDP connection? Metehan, thanks for the OSC links. I should mention that I am on a PC. (Sorry.) If I must, I could borrow someone's mac but that would greatly reduce the amount of time I would get to practice with the rig, so I'd rather do it with my PC. I didn't see a PC version of Osculator, though they are discussing it on the blog... I do have an iphone 4 and I think the OSC touch interface is very cool but I think the tactile feel of the physical MIDI controller would be helpful for a beginner like me.... Thank you!
