OK so I found an answer or at least a clarification of how the OSC receiver works if you have more than one active at a time on the same port. This is the case if you start multiple instances of the same QC comp (e.g. as I do through my VJ application) or if you have two QC compositions that both have an OSC receiver listening on the same port.
If you send OSC from another application to QC to ip 127.0.0.1 only one of the OSC receivers will get the message. The same if you send from a Quartz composition to ip 127.0.0.1: Only one OSC receiver gets the message. However - if you send from within a Quartz composition to ip 0.0.0.0: all instances of the OSC receiver will get the message. I haven't had any luck sending from another application to Quartz on port 0.0.0.0. However that might be a local problem or due to an error I made. I'm not sure. My workaround is to make a small "rerouter" within quartz. All messages sent to 127.0.0.1 are rebroadcast within QC to ip 0.0.0.0 using another port and now all my comps get the message on that port. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
