Anchor mechanism in OSC doesn't seem to work

Hello
I'm using an OSC controller with faders to control channels and subs in DL on different pages. When I switch pages and use the faders on different channels, channel values just jump to fader positions despite the level anchor mechanism being set. Switching that function on and off in Setup I/O -> OSC doesn't seem to have an effect.

Hi,
which OSC controler do you use?
in the mean time did you try to use the VirtualSubmaster for incoming OSC channels messages?
(available in the latest release and beta)

I'm using a custom made OSC controller. It sends /circ/x/x messages on every fader move. In some release (I don't remember which one) it worked.
I just tried the VirtualSubmaster. Circ messages don't get through at all. For subs it remains the same issue.

can you post a photo of your controler, please?
also which version of DL do you use?

There's a photo…
I'm on the latest release (4.1.03)

wow man!!!
you build that? great!!

can you post your sho for me to try?

Thank you! It is based on a Teensy 3.6 and is just ment to cooperate with your software.
For the past 6 years I worked with a similar controller over MIDI until I realized with all those LED lights I would need at least 8bit resolution on faders. So I wanted to switch to OSC. It works great so far. There are just a few things to work on still.
Technically I could receive levels via OSC and make the controller send messages only when fader levels equal OSC levels. But the anchor mechanism could just make things much easier and I remember it working that way before...

so, there's a need to clarification about what anchor mechanism is...
you can control channels from inside DL (cues levels) or outside DL (from Midi or OSC controler).
each time you control a channel from an external controler, the 'leader' variable of the channel is set to external and unless DL internally take control back on the channel, it stays to external.
anchor mechanism works when DL take back control on channel's levels.

what I've tried is:
/circ/x/level 127
channel's level bump to 50%, leader is set to external
disconnect OSC
move OSC fader (from pureData) to 100%, nothing move in DL as OSC is off
reconnect OSC
move OSC fader to 99%
channel's level bump to 99%. anchor mechanism did not work in this case because leader variable was set to external at the first call.

hope it's clear.

Ok, that makes sense.
I will manage that in my code then.
Thanks for the clarification.

Just realized I cannot manage that internally. To make it work under all conditions I would have to receive OSC levels and make the controller send messages when fader levels equal OSC levels only.
Using MIDI, I only had this issue when bypassing the AnchorMechanism.
Could you include that option in OSC as well?

I guess I need to write a 'ReSync' function as in Midi.
the purpose of Resync is to take back leader internally and to tell to all externals current levels (of channel for example in this case).

but it means each time you switch channel page, you'll need to trigger the reSync. Manually.

I did this once (in Midi) and it's not very a big deal...

will try to code that for the next beta

++

Ah, I get what you mean.
As long as I can trigger reSync via OSC that Looks like an option. That would be great if you could! That way it is still possible to use infinite encoders like touch controls.

great job @stebian !

you mind sharing the code you're running on the teensy?

@stebian
code is in the next beta (aka 4.1.04_b4 probably public tomorrow).
message is
/pad/resync 1
1 is to distinguish buttonPress from buttonRelease

and it seems to work great, you'll tell me.

4.1.04_b4 is online
