FeatureRequest: OSC args for Faders and Textbox

I think you are asking for the opposite of the EXTRA OSC ARG feature, which controls what OSC/PILOT sends out. Instead you want to be able to control how incoming arguments are decoded.
This is now available in a pre-release build, here:

1.10.1 Pre-Release
May 7, 2023

This is a pre-release build, it may contain new bugs and should only be used for testing.
Available at:
Windows: Dropbox - OSCpilot-Installer-1.10.1.exe - Simplify your life
macOS: Dropbox - OSCpilot-v1.10.1.pkg - Simplify your life

New Features

  • Add ‘CUSTOM IN ARGS’ ability for most widgets. This allows for more complex OSC messages to be parsed/received by the widgets. For example if the argument you want to drive a widget is the 2nd one, you can skip the first. Also for widgets that allow extra things to be set such as the text/color, you can include multiple selections in a single message. To use this put a space-separated list of characters that describes the message format coming in. Value values are:
  • ? - Ignore this argument
  • # - Use this as the value argument
  • T - Use this to set the Text (for widgets that support it)
  • C - Use this to set the Color
  • R - Use this to Set the Read-Only property.

E.g:
? # T
Means ignore the first argument, use the second one as the value, and use the third one to set the text.
