ETC ColorSource · OSC Message Generator

Build OSC for ColorSource consoles — copy the string into Companion, QLab, TouchOSC or any OSC sender.

Playback

Addresses /cs/playback/go, /goback, /pause. "Go to cue" is /cs/playback/gotocue with the cue number as its argument.

Playback fader
1.00

Address /cs/playback/<n>/level, float 0.0–1.0.

Channel

Address /cs/chan/<action>. At takes an intensity 0–100; Wheel takes a +/- step; the rest take a channel number.

Colour (RGB)

Address /cs/color/rgb with three arguments: red, green, blue (each 0–100), applied to the current channel selection.

Raw / custom message

Full manual control. The /cs prefix is still prepended.

Heads up — browsers can't send OSC directly. OSC travels over the network, which web pages can't open. This tool builds the exact message; paste it into a real OSC sender (Bitfocus Companion, QLab, TouchOSC, Open Stage Control — or our own SchwiftyEx, coming soon) pointed at your ColorSource console's IP and OSC RX port.

Manual & examples

New to OSC? Do the three steps once, then copy any ready-made example straight into your OSC app. Every message below already uses your prefix from the top bar.

STEP 1

Turn on OSC in ColorSource

On the console: Setup → Settings → Show Control → OSC. Enable OSC RX and note the port; point your OSC sender at the console's IP and that port.

STEP 2

Build a message above

Pick a tab (Playback, Channel, Colour…), set the fields, and the panel on the right shows the finished message live.

STEP 3

Copy it into an OSC sender

Paste into Companion, QLab, TouchOSC or Open Stage Control, aimed at the console's IP and OSC RX port.

Numbers are examples — channel 1, cue 3. Swap in your own. Channel commands act on the current selection; set a selection with /cs/chan/select first, then /cs/chan/at or a colour.
