Network Broadcast & Receive

steve holmes's picture

Hi guys I hope you can help, I am wanting to develop a composition that receives, monitors and controls multiple comps on computers across a network. The problem I have is that I seem to be unable to run multiple instances of the receive patch so I can't receive info from more than one machine.

I was wondering if anyone had got this working and info so what tips you have, Cheers Steve

Re: Network Broadcast & Receive

Sorry to answer my own question but I thought it might be useful info for other people.

After failing to get network send and receive to work with multiple computers I decided to have a look at OSC. Because you can send strings (and many other things) with OSC it allowed me to send and receive info from multiple computers. I haven't had much time to do much else but hopefully this will help someone. Sorry if I am clogging up the forum with rubbish. Cheers Steve
