[CM] Grace & OSC

[Halim Beere]

When you set up a Grace OSC receiver, Grace calls a function. That function
can do anything, including send a MIDI message. But you'll have to write
the function . . . so yes, you'll have to convert OSC messages to midi.

Press Cmd-D in Grace, and look at the OSC documentation. You'll need to
open a port, and then do osc:receive(function) or osc:receive(path,
function) where you can register whatever function you want.

As far as synchronizing Grace with Ableton's clock, you can't really do
that. Grace has its own metronome, but there's no way presently to
completely reset it each time you hit stop and play in Ableton. (This, I
think, would be a good feature to add . . . perhaps I'll look into it).

In the meantime, you can try to send an OSC message to start Grace at the
correct tempo, account for latency, and forget about using Grace's built-in
metronomes. You'll need to send enough information, and often enough, to do
the syncing yourself. The devil's in the details tho, so it's hard to be
more specific.

Hope this helps.
