Send Max messages over a network using UDP
| Name | Type | Opt | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| local-host-name or IP | symbol | Obligatory. Specifies the host destination to which messages will be sent over a network. Host destinations can be specified either by name (e.g., localhost) or by IP address (e.g., 127.0.0.1). | |
| remote-port | int | Obligatory. Specifies the remote port that the udpsend object will use when sending messages. |
| bang | Sends the message over the network using UDP. | |
| int | message [int] |
Sends an message over the network using UDP. |
| float | message [float] |
Sends a message over the network using UDP. |
| list | message [list] |
Sends a message over the network using UDP. |
| anything | message [list] |
Sends the given message over the network using UDP. |
| FullPacket |
behavior-flag (0 or 1) [int] number [int] |
The udpsend object and its counterpart the udpreceive object provide support for third-party Max objects that work with the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol developed by the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT) at the University of California, Berkeley. The message toggles support for the 'FullPacket' message used by the CNMAT Open Sound Control externals or the Max udpreceive object--when set, the udpsend object will send UDP buffers in the form of OSC 'FullPacket' messages. |
| host | local-host-name or IP [symbol] |
The word , followed by a symbol, specifies the host destination to which messages will be sent. Host destinations can be specified either by name (e.g., localhost) or by IP address (e.g., 127.0.0.1). |
| maxqueuesize | maximum-messages [int] |
The word , followed by an integer, sets the maximum number of incoming messages that can be in the queue at any given time (default="2048)." The work queue will grow as needed until this maximum limit is reached. In high-traffic or high-speed situations, you may need to increase the maximum queue size to avoid dropped messages. |
| maxpacketsize | maximum-packet-size [int] |
The word , followed by an integer, sets the size, in bytes, of the largest UDP packet that you can send (default="5096)." Since this value is related to the largest Max message you can possibly send, you may need to increase this value if you are sending very long Max messages. |
| port | remote-port [int] |
The word , followed by a number, specifies the remote port that the udpsend object will use to send outgoing messages. |
