How does TouchOSC work with Lightform Creator?


You can communicate with the Lightform device using OSC messages. Each effect has various exposed parameters that you can adjust (e.g.,Ā speed and size). To get Lightform Creator ready for OSC messages:

Now the effect/generator will be computed in real-time during project playback by the Lightform device and you can adjust the effect's parameters using OSC messages simultaneously during playback.
