Need for a 32bit output option within 64bit objects or a specific conversion object #368

Closed nesdnuma closed 6 years ago

nesdnuma commented 6 years ago

Hello,

In Max7/Win64, I've just discovered that o.prepend transforms the argument of a message in a 64bit float. However, some OSC receivers, such as Reaper can't use doubles. So it might be interesting either to add an option for 64/32 bit handling in all odot objects or add a new objet to convert the argument type for a full message, already structured with tags.

hi @nesdnuma, thanks for your note -- Odot supports a wider variety of types than the baseline OSC spec, so for use with Reaper, or other generic OSC libraries, you may need to run the bundle through o.downcast before sending out to OSC 1.0/1.1 receivers, which will downcast Odot to OSC 1.1 (and doubles to floats).

Hello ramagottfried, thanks for the infomation. Maybe it should be written in good place in odot overview patch.
