Utility node

OSC Send

The one node with no output at all: it reads whatever modulator is patched into it and sends its value out over the network as an OSC message, so a lighting console, Max/MSP patch, or another OSC-speaking app can react to what's happening inside Infinite.

What it does

OSC Send is a utility node: it routes signals in and out of Infinite or sets up the canvas. It takes control signal in and gives picture out.

Try it
