rnbo.remote
Communicate with a remote rnbo device
Description
Remotely set and receive information on a Remote RNBO Device. This Information includes information and changes with parameters , messages, MIDI, external clock , and RNBO presets on the remote device.
Arguments
None.
Attributes
addr [symbol]
Setting the address of the device host running the RNBO code will point the rnbo.remote device to communicate with that device. The address is the IPV4 address of the RNBO remote device.
fdbkdel [float]
The number of milliseconds to ignore incoming parameter updates after a local update for feedback suppression.
inst [int]
The numbered instance of the patcher to load and communicate with. This is associated alpabetically with the patchername that has been exported to your Pi (f.e. if you have two patches on your pi, @inst 0 will reference @patchername delay and @inst 1 will reference @patchername reverb ).
name [symbol]
The name of the RNBO device host to communicate with. This is the name set for your RNBO device determined in the configuration settings at the time of export.
patchername [symbol]
The name of the patcher to load and communicate with. This is the name set for your patcher determined under Patch Name in the target sidebar at the the time of export.
port [int]
Communicate on a specific port of the RNBO device shared IPv4 network. This can be specifically useful for instances where you would like to utilize port forwarding for the rnbo.remote 's communication. Provided that both the RNBO device and the remote are connected to the same network, setting the port will allow messaging to be forwarded specifically to that port. The default port is 5678 .
presets/midichannel [symbol]
Use MIDI channels for changing RNBO presets via MIDI program messages. This is helpful for setting presets from MIDI hardware connected to the RNBO device.
The MIDI program number will load the preset by it's number represented in the preset index.
By default, this setting is set to omni , which allows any midichannel to set program changes to the rnbo devices presets
Setting a integer value between 1 and 16 will allow programs from a specific Midi channel, f.e. presets/midichannel 1 will only allow program changes via MIDI channel 1 .
Setting presets/midichannel none will not allow program changes to be made to any MIDI channels.
transport/bpm [float]
Remote control the transport tempo (beats per minute) of the RNBO code running locally on the RNBO remote device.
transport/rolling [int] (default: 0)
The RNBO code running on the remote device has it's own transport tempo. Enabling transport/rolling allows us the ability to remotely control and visualize the transport tempo running on the RNBO runner from the rnbo.remote object.
Common Box Attributes
Messages
int
Arguments
message
Arguments
message 'inport @name' $
status
The "host names" message retrieves a list of discovered remote rnbo devices. This is essentially all of the RNBO Device names that appear on the shared networks address.
The "connectivity" message reveals the connectivity status between the Remote and the RNBO device. An output value of '1' means that the devices are connected for remote control and retrieval of information from the devicE, AND '0'means there are no connected devices.
The "instance_info" message retrieves and lists the values of the named parameters, inports, outports, and data_refs
patcherdestroy
Arguments
If an instance of the patcher is loaded when a "patcherdestroy" is set for it, the instance will remain loaded until a different patcher is loaded.
preset
Arguments
To load a preset from the RNBO devices preset index, append the preset message with the load argument, followed by the name of the preset so that it looks like this : preset load $1 .
To save a preset from the RNBO devices preset index, append the preset message with the save argument, followed by the name of the preset so that it looks like this : preset save $1 .
To delete a preset from the RNBO devices preset index, append the preset message with the delete argument, followed by the name of the preset so that it looks like this : preset delete $1 .
To set a preset to load first when the device intially boots, append the preset message with the initial argument,followed by the name of the preset so that it looks like this : preset initial $1 . If this is not set, then by default, the first preset saved to the rnbo.device will load on reboot.
Outlets
Midi Bytes
The middle outlet outputs the status of midiformatted messages that are sent to midiout objects in the exported RNBO code on the remote device.
Outport Messages
The left outlet reports the state of outport objects exported rnbo code on the RNBO remote device. To report the state of the outport objects, reference the object by namespace using an object such as route.
Status Info
The right outlet reports the status of the RNBO code on the remote device.
The "host names" message retrieves a list of discovered remote rnbo devices. This is essentially all of the RNBO Device names that appear on the shared networks address.
The "connectivity" message reveals the connectivity status between the Remote and the RNBO device. An output value of '1' means that the devices are connected for remote control and retrieval of information from the device, and '0'means there are no connected devices.
The "instance_info" message retrieves and lists the values of the named parameters, inports, outports, and data_refs
