I'm trying to use the [rfft~] object to do some analysis, and I'd like to send the output of the FFT to another program using OSC. I'm using [sendOSC] from the oscx library, and giving it a message like:

[send /this/is/the/path $1(

Then i'm giving as input to this message the list of values from the FFT, which might contain thousands of numbers for a typical FFT window (patch attached). Of course, the $1 only takes the value of the first element of the list, not the entire list that I want to send.

So my question is this: Is there a dollarsign-like placeholder for lists?

Or, can someone suggest another way to send long lists over OSC, besides typing out $1 $2 ... $2048 in the message box?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Try this ...

bang

[tabdump arrayname]

Yes, thank you, that works beautifully! I thought it might have something to do with those list methods...

For anyone following along, what emacpher meant to write, I believe, was

, not set. "prepend set" sounds like it could be a list method as well, which had me confused for about a minute. The full solution is thus:

[tabdump arrayname]

|
|
[sendOSC]

Sorry ... I didn't pay close enough attention that you were using [sendOSC].

I did mean

, which is indeed wrong for your context, but in the patch I pulled this out of, I am "setting" the message at the bottom of my patchlet to:

[/this/is/the/path arrayval1 arrayval2 ... (

and then banging that message through [packOSC] into [udpsend], both from mrpeach.
