Is multiple OSC (osc-port) Connections Possible?

[KenMitchell]

I'm experimenting with making a template that controls 2x Behringer XR18 mixers with OSC messages. While I can send to multiple targets, I can't seem to define multiple osc-ports. Is this possible, and if so, how?

[jean-emmanuel]

It is not. There's no interest in doing so since both apps / devices can talk to open stage control on the same osc port, if you're after disambiguation of similar messages coming from two different origins, you'll need to write a custom module and process messages depending on their origin.

Thank you for the fast reply. Since the mixers are identical except for different IP addresses, how would I go about determining the origin? I have no way of modifying the OSC messages on the mixer. My apologies if these are newbie questions.

Thanks @jean-emmanuel

Searching for 'origin' got me heading in the right direction.

Filter Incoming OSC to a specific origin IP

Is it possible to restrict the updating of a widget via OSC a specific IP address of origin? If I have a message being sent by two different computers to a single instance of O-S-C, I’d like to be able to separately demonstrate their values via text widgets. I haven’t been able to figure it out; so far the message from either computer updates both widgets, as they are identical addresses. Thank you.
