¶ OSC Receive
Category: 🔗 Connectors
¶ Description
Receives an OSC message at the specified address and emits its value as a jolt. Lets external apps (DAWs, controllers, scripts) drive your patch over the network.
Listens for OSC messages sent to the address typed in the text input (e.g. /my_address). When a matching message arrives, the value is emitted on the jolt output. Use the inspector to set how many additional jolt outputs to spawn for messages carrying multiple arguments.
