Our band has just recently switched to a Behringer WING mixing console and it can be remotely controlled via OSC from BandHelper. It's really easy to get this working:
The WING receives OSC on port 2223. So in BandHelper you define an OSC device with port 2223. The IP address of the console can be found in its setup menu. Make sure that you set a static IP for the console or let your router always assign the same IP via DHCP.
OSC messages consist of the following three elements:
- Address pattern: Usually a tree structure to address the parameter you want to change. For example, to set the ,,mute" status of channel 14 on the WING, the address pattern is /ch/14/mute
- Type: This is either Integer, Float or String. For example the ,,mute" status on the WING is an Integer.
- Value: For example, the ,,mute" status on the WING is Integer ,,1" (Mute on) or ,,0" (Mute Off)
Example: Our violin player wanted a ,,tuning mode" where his violin is muted on the PA and soloed in his in-ear monitoring mix. This was easily programmed in BandHelper with two default MIDI/OSC presets: See the one that switches ,,Violin Tuning ON" in the screenshot. The other is the same with just the values 0 and 1 inverted.
Edit April 23: Use Paired Presets to quickly toggle between ON and OFF or different settings. @Arlo, thanks for the great tip!
A complete documentation of all OSC features of the WING can be found here on the Behringer website (https://cdn.mediavalet.com/aunsw/musictribe/mzolJdOzu0WZG59pX2LDkA/drJQVBUjakq76Xn2GcaT0Q/Original/WING%20Remote%20Protocols%20v3.0.5.pdf).
