Encoder Buttons for OSC and Wings as "Dongles"

Not a bad idea...

Paul, I requested the "wings as dongle" option already a long time ago.
Nano = Faders and encoders
Playbackwing = Faders
Programmerwing = Encoders
Pretty fair if you own HES hardware that you should have the same options as with a console.

Yes, Encoder buttons would be great! I'm loving the command line and encoder labels.
Also +1 on the "wings as dongle" concept.

As with the "wings as dongle" concept, can a full console connected and in session (ie: hog4, rhfb4, rh4, hh4n) also act as a dongle for H4PC please?

I like Marc's concept. I also think cmonk has got a great suggestion there too with a connected console!

Encoder wheel button support is in the software. It's just a matter of someone updating the templates to use it.
The address is /hog/hardware/ewheelbutton with an integer of 1-5 passed to indicate the wheel. This currently has the same restriction as other encoders, i.e. doesn't work on hog PC.

Thanks for the info-- adding to my custom template now!

cmonk... When you have a real console in a session you can connect to that console via OSC...

And thanks chris for the info on the encoderbuttons!!!

Hi MLorenz, i know you can connect to the 'real' console in session however there are scenarios where this isnt helpful. especially as you share the same command line as the 'real' console.

Looks like the "wings as dongles" thing has been requested in many threads. As someone who does not yet own HES hardware but can program on both the MA and Hog platforms, I gotta say that this inflexibility is pushing me in the "Buy MA" direction. And I've been on Hogs since '99...
