Whether you need to automate loudness resets, trigger presets from a console, or integrate with a DAW or other third-party tools, actions open up a world of flexible control.
Multi-Device ControlWith OSC integration, RTW devices TMxCore, TouchControl 5 and TouchMonitor 5 can send commands simultaneously to multiple devices on the network.
This makes it possible to start, stop, reset loudness measurements synchronously with a playback, or load presets across all connected units with a single action, ensuring consistent operation throughout the setup.
A TouchControl 5 positioned at the operator's desk can be used to navigate and control a TouchMonitor 5 remotely, providing centralized access without the need to operate each device directly.
Transmit: Outgoing CommandsWith a single button press, your RTW device can send OSC messages via TCP/UDP and/or HTTP requests. You can use the dedicated action button, but since OSC is available throughout the interface, other buttons can also be configured to send one or more commands.
Action Button A dedicated Action button can be customized with its own size, color, and label.
In addition, most other buttons can also be assigned to transmit actions.
OSC Everywhere Any button in a preset can send OSC commands in addition to its primary function.
For example, pressing the TALK button can simultaneously trigger one or more OSC commands, such as activating the DIM function in the monitoring application or switching on speakers when the corresponding output is selected.
Multi-Command A single button can send not just one, but multiple commands at once, and OSC and HTTP commands can be mixed in one action.
Multi-stateFor a toggle button (e. g. TALK), the button's state is transmitted. When the button is ON, TRUE is sent; when it is OFF, FALSE is sent.
System EventsYou can define actions that are automatically triggered when specific events occur. Supported events are:
Preset Changed
Demo Mode Changed
Sample Rate Changed
TouchControl 5 Only
Headphones Detected (an automatic argument with TRUE or FALSE is added)
Line Out Detected (an automatic argument with TRUE or FALSE is added)
Preset EventsPresets include an Events section.
At this stage, one event is available, with more to follow:
Preset Loaded: Triggers a defined action automatically when the preset is loaded.
Action Settings
Active: Indicates whether the action is activeName: The name of the actionConnection. In System Settings you can pre-define connections, or you can manually set type, host and port for each individual buttonType: There are three types of commands:
OSC TCP
OSC UDP
HTTP Request
TouchControl 5 Dante and TouchMonitor 5 Dante: Dante API
Host: The IP address of the target devicePort: The port of the target device, typical 8000Message: If Type is OSC, this is the Address.If Type is HTTP, this is the URIArguments: here you enter the argument(s) for your action.
ArgumentsName: You can give your argument a name
Type can be STRING, INTEGER, FLOAT or BOOLEAN
Dante API: Subscribe and unsubscribeFor TouchControl 5 Dante and TouchMonitor 5 Dante, Dante API is available as an action type.
This enables direct subscription and unsubscription of channels within your Dante network, and this goes for any device in the network, not only the device itself.
Combined with the Preset Loaded event, this enables a powerful new feature: Dante channels can now be configured automatically when a preset is loaded.
Connections
Implementation
Two messages are supported: subscribe and unsubscribe.
In all cases, you need to know the Dante Device Names, and the Dante device name is the name you see in Dante Controller, in this case there are two devices: MacBook-Pro-M1 and RTW-TC5-THVAL.
Dante Device Names
SubscribeTo create a connection, you need to specify 4 arguments.
FROM Device Name (STRING)
FROM Channel (INTEGER)
TO Device Name (STRING)
TO Channel (INTEGER)
Channel numbers are ZERO-based, so channel 1 is 0.
So, as an example, if I want to transmit channel 4 on my MacBook to channel 7 on my TouchControl 5, I enter the lines shown to the right.
Enter these lines to subscribe to channels
UnsubscribeTo unsubscribe, I only need two arguments, the name and channel I want to unsubscribe.
So, if I want to remove the connection I made above, Ill enter the lines shown to the right.
Enter these lines to UN-subscribe to channels
Dante API Demo PresetThis preset demonstrates how Action buttons can be configured to switch between different Dante routings.
IMPORTANTThis preset will not function without prior adjustments.
Since Dante routing is based on Dante device names, you must edit the Feed A' and Feed B' buttons to match the exact names of the devices you are routing between.
Dante API Preset
ConnectionsIn System > General, you'll find the Connections section.
Connections allow you to define OSC settings (IP address, port, protocol, action type, etc.) once and reuse them across all buttons and actions.
If a setting changes, for example an IP address, it only needs to be updated in one place, rather than on every individual button.
Localhost
A predefined connection, Localhost, is included. This represents the device itself.
Use this connection when sending OSC commands to the device itself to access features that are available exclusively via OSC.
Connections
Receive: Incoming CommandsRTW devices can also react to OSC commands.
This means external systems can control core functions such as:
Recalling presets
Resetting loudness
Triggering monitoring actions
This makes it super easy to integrate with broadcast consoles, Stream Decks, or other controllers.
Important: Allow incoming OSC messages!For a device to receive incoming OSC messages, the Open Sound Control (OSC) Listener must be en
