How to configure OSC with Data MIDI & Data Mod
In five easy steps
For use with our Sonification ToolsFAQ
STEP 1: Wi-Fi settings
Enter your computer’s network Wi-Fi settings. The goal is to find your computer’s local network IP address. On macOS 15, pictured right, open Wi-Fi settings and click the Details button.
If your OSC app is running on the same computer as Live, you can skip to Step 4.
STEP 2: IP address
On macOS, select TCP/IP settings at left and note your IP address; leave this open so you can copy it into your preferred OSC application in the following step.
STEP 3: Enter IP address in OSC application
Ensure your OSC application is installed on a device connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer running Live, then enter the IP address from Step 2 in the appropriate field; this example is showing the GyrOSC app available from the App Store here. Note the Target IP address matches the one shown in our previous step.
STEP 4: Set OSC Port number
Enter a valid port number, typically four digits, in the Port field.
If your OSC app is running on the same computer as Live, this would be your first step, as OSC should be sent directly to the localhost IP address by default.
