light utility brigde between midi and osc on ETC EOS lighting desk

I have uploaded a patch to the light util section
that allows you to control any parameter via OSC from the EOS lighting console by etc.
This utility acts as a bridge between a MIDI controller and the lighting console .
It is designed for the SMC by M-Vave model, a very inexpensive controller that has the advantage of offering eight encoders that can be used in relative mode (ideal for controlling several parameters of the same type at the same time).
This utility eliminates the need for the third-party Luminosus software, which is still widely used despite the fact that its development is no longer supported.
In my opinion, there is room for significant improvement, but to do so I would need feedback from people working with EOS software.
I know that people working with lighting are rare on HH, and with a little provocation I would describe them as somewhat cautious and conservative.
So don't hesitate to talk to your lighting colleagues about it.

Hello

I didi a workspace for a project just for that
Midi to EOS via OSC (40 faders)
+ sound analysis & "crépite fx" that can control fader or sub
I didn't found yet time to comment it but it works ...
I'll try to do that saturday while a train time

also a Usine preset can be called by an EOS Cue


In my case it never workerd with 127.0.0.1, I had to use my IP

It's fun how we went in 2 differents directions

I did it :
1 to replace Luminosus (also because it couldn't recognize 2 identical controllers, even if the had differents CC messages)
2 to add audio fonction to EOS

but in my case, Usine was synced by EOS, not the opposite.

I might merge your fonctions to my wkp.

I'll send a commented wkp soon.

Thanks

I choose my setting from the dynamic list,
which I can complete according to the bold message I need to convey.
