This tutorial is designed to help you immediately start getting OSC and / or MIDI data from the example interfaces that are included with Control to your computer. It will not cover how to setup the apps running on your computer besides some barebones details.

OSC

1. Make sure your device and your computer are on the same wireless network. Performance will be GREATLY improved if you have a direct wireless connection to your computer instead of going through a router. Here are instructions for Windows and here are instructions for OSX.
2. Launch an application that accepts OSC messages (Osculator, Max/MSP, Reaktor etc). If the app is not Bonjour/Zeroconf enabled (Osculator is) then get the IP address of the computer the app is running on and decide on a port you would like to use for communication. We’ll say you chose 8000 for the remainder of this tutorial.
3. Launch Control. Select the Destinations tab.
4. (A) If your remote app is Bonjour enabled then you will see a destination in the list with the IP address of that computer as well as the port the app is accepting communication on. There will also be a Bonjour symbol next to the item. Select that ip address / port combination from the list.
   (B) If your remote app is not Bonjour enabled, hit the + button in the upper right hand corner. Enter the IP address and the port of your remote app into the text fields that popup and hit the “Add” button. Select the newly created Destination from the Destination list. Control will save manually entered destinations between sessions so that you should only have to type it in once assuming IP addresses don’t change.
5. Select the Interfaces tab and choose the DJ interface.
6. If you start manipulating the widgets in the interface you should receive OSC messages in the remote application.

MIDI

Note: the following instructions are geared towards OS X which has RTPMIDI drivers built into the operating system. For wireless MIDI on Windows please go to this website where you can download drivers and read an excellent tutorial on how to use wireless MIDI. Please send me an email if you have info about wireless MIDI for Linux.

1. Make sure your device and your computer are on the same wireless network.
2. In OS X, open the Audio MIDI Setup application. Double click on the Network icon to open the MIDI Network Setup panel.
3. In the Network Setup panel, create a new session by hitting the + button under the “My Sessions” pane. Select the session you just created. We’ll assume you leave the name as “Session 1” which is the default.
4. In the “Session” pane you’ll see info about the session you just created. Make sure the “Enabled” checkbox is checked.
5. Launch Control. Select the Destinations tab.
6. You should see the IP address of your computer and the port specified in the Session pane. Select this from the list.
7. Select the Interfaces tab and choose the DJ interface.
8. Launch a MIDI app on your computer and select the MIDI input “Network (Session 1)” or possibly just “Session 1”.
9. If you start manipulating the widgets in the interface you should receive MIDI messages in the app running on your computer.
