OSC
In Myelin Director, various actions and properties can be controlled via OSC. Myelin Director can also be used to trigger other software and hardware through OSC.
OSC settings can be found in the OSC tab of the app's Preferences.
In order to enable OSC input, 'Receive OSC' has to be enabled, and a network adapter and port can be chosen. By default, Myelin Director uses the '/Myelin' prefix, meaning that all commands sent to Myelin should have that prefix in front of the address. This prefix can be freely changed or removed.
The tables below indicate the available commands.

OSC Output
Myelin can output OSC via OSC triggers. More information on how to use those, please check out the Triggers docs page
OSC triggers use predefined OSC output presets. These can be configured in the OSC settings part of the OSC tab of the app's Preferences.
By clicking the '+' button, we can add an OSC output preset.
We can set the name, destination IP-address and port, and optionally a prefix, that will be put in front of the address defined in the individual trigger.
We can also block an OSC output, by enabling the block (B) button. Enabling the MA3 (MA) button, we select this OSC output to be used for sending grandMA3 triggers over OSC.
