3. JavaScript command reference

Here are listed all the commands that MXW recognizes.

Legend

The standard used to represent the available values for each command is:

FLOATS are represented with one decimal:

0.0 .. 1.0 → all float values between 0 and 1 included

INTEGERS are represented with numbers or descriptions:

1 .. 5 → all integers between 1 and 5 included ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 )
1 .. (MAX n layers) → all the integers between 1 and the maximum index of layers in MXW (e.g. if 6 layers are being used the values are integers between 1 and 6 included)

When only one number is indicated it means that only one option is given. This is found in addresses of buttons, checkboxes and in the options where "0" or "1" are the only significant values

STRINGS are represented between double quotation marks:

/mxw/set info

When “name” is contained in the available string variable, then the content is to be substituted with the actual name.

E.G. : to select and play a patch called “patch_one” from its name, the address /mxw/set with tokens "play" "name_of_patch" has to be used, resulting in this OSC command:

/mxw/set play patch_one

When OR is found it means that two options can deliver a similar result. One of the two formats has to be used at one time.
