Program OSC Source to send specific messages to Kyma

Instead of re-mapping each individual Kyma widget or parameter with an OSC message one-by-one, you can, alternatively, program your OSC device or application to send specific messages to control Kyma using the Message address format:

/vcs/name/channel

Where name is the name of the hot value, and channel is the MIDI channel of the controller. Even though you are sending OSC (and not MIDI), the channel identifiers are retained as a convenient way to organize controllers (for example, by default each track of the Timeline is associated with its own controller channel).

If your Sound had EventValues !Vol, !Amp, !Density, for example, you could program your device to send the OSC messages:

/vcs/Vol/1

/vcs/Amp/1

/vcs/Density/1

This automatically maps to Kyma hot values !Vol, !Amp, and !Density

(Note that you can still, optionally, remap individual VCS widgets to different control sources)
