Full reference for the Live out nodes, generated from the in-editor help.

Output

Sends messages to an external server using a reusable server config. Currently supported: OSC over UDP.

Output — after the external send succeeds, the original message is forwarded through the sent output. Connect a Debug node to inspect successful sends. Failed sends are not forwarded.

Address (OSC) — if Address is set in the node it is used; otherwise msg.topic is used.

Message — if Message is set in the node it is sent; otherwise msg.payload. A configured Message that looks like JSON ([1,2,3], {"a":1}, 1, true) is parsed as JSON; otherwise sent as a string.

Input message

Visualization — the Automations UI can visualize this node's output:

• LED: flashes on every send
• Switch: ON/OFF from the payload (boolean, 1/0, or "on"/"off"/"true"/"false" strings)
• Text: the last value as text, with optional suffix (e.g. %)
• Progress: payload as a number on a bar with configured min/max and labels
• Gauge: same range as Progress, drawn as an arc

Payload formats (OSC)

• Buffer: sent as-is (pre-encoded OSC packet)
• "": OSC message with no args
• null: OSC Nil
• Array / scalar: treated as OSC args
• Plain object: JSON-stringified into a single OSC string arg; valid typed args like {type:"f", value: 0.5} are preserved
• Bundle object { packets: [...], timeTag }: sent as a bundle

Server

Reusable server configuration for Output nodes. You usually create and edit it from the Output node's Server field. Saved servers are shared — edit one and every node using it updates.
