Improve documentation of argument types #72

Open ideoforms opened 1 year ago

ideoforms commented 1 year ago

README does not include any indication of OSC argument types, which can be confusing. Add types (string, int, float, bool, etc) across the documentation.

If possible, i would greatly appreciate example-usages in the documentation, so beginners and stupid people like myself can understand what "osc adress" and what "parameter" to put exactly where in Touch OSC, so that things actually work! Because i really struggle with using almost everything. The only things which work for me are some of those which don't need a parameter. Like /live/test. Or /live/song/stop_all_clips. Those work. But as soon as i try to do something like /live/clip/fire, i tried putting 1 1 behind it, 1,1, or track_1, clip_1 -> but nothing works... I would love to see VU Meters (track volumes), Tracknames, Clipnames, Clip-Playback Progress and much more, but i can't even do the simplest things. A tiny step-by-step tutorial of how to apply the documentation commands to real-life-usage with touch osc (or osc/Pilot) would be greatly appreciated! Thanks alot 1

The least effort way to help you out is to schedule a zoom call in which you share you screen and we'll figure out what's wrong. Then we record the final solution and share it for others. Should be do-able in a 30 minute call. Are you up for that? (reach me at my name at gmail dot com)

Sounds awesome, i wrote you a mail ;)

We are using touchosc with abletonosc. Many things already solved and using this in production. So I could help with that also.

I think a little TouchOSC (or open stage control) template with some examples of getters and setters would be a wonderful addition to the project!
