python-x32

Python library to interact with Behringer X32 digital mixing desk using OSC-messages (open sound control).

The Behringer X32 has quite good documentation of OSC-messages, but not all messages are documented. Messages that control what page the user has selected on the desk are not documented.

See http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/X32.aspx

Using dumpmessages.py is quite easy to find some undocumented OSC-messages. Messages can also be captured by Wireshark and XControl, but using dumpmessages.py is easier.

Undocumented messages

This is just a listing of some undocumented messages. Most undocumented messages start with /-
