Hello

I am trying to interface with an LSC MantraLite lighting console that accepts OSC.

However the string required to activate the playbacks contains and equals sign (=) that cannot be input into the address field.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this not currently possible?

I have included a sample from the user manual below:

For example, to play Page 1, Memory 2, Cue 3 at a level of 100% with a fade time of 4 seconds,  
the OSC message becomes:  
/PlayMemory/Page=1/Memory=2/Cue=3/Level=100/Fade=4000

Thanks

Colin

Hey, thanks for the report. This is currently not possible (a throwback to the simple keyboard we have up there). I’ll add support for this this weekend and post a build for you. Sorry about that.

I cannot type + sign in the text field on mac version (cmd+c cmd-v works)

Thanks for the reports. You can now type any ASCII character and it’ll be accepted. New build v1.6.2 is now posted.
