OSC Commands — Input

CueForge2 listens for OSC on UDP port 8000 by default. Change the port in Show Settings.

All addresses below are the full OSC path. Arguments are shown in parentheses where required.

#Transport

/cueforge/go — fire GO (same as pressing the space bar)
/cueforge/stop — stop the active cue
/cueforge/pause — pause playback
/cueforge/resume — resume after pause
/cueforge/panic — full PANIC (stop all, blank video, DMX blackout)

/cueforge/select/next — move the armed cue down one row
/cueforge/select/previous — move the armed cue up one row

#Discovery (Zeroconf / Bonjour)

While OSC input is enabled, CueForge advertises itself on the network as an _osc._udp service named "CueForge (<this Mac's name>)", so controllers that browse for OSC devices — TouchOSC, OSC/PILOT and similar — can find it without you typing an IP address. You can always connect manually instead: the Show Settings header shows this Mac's IP, and the OSC tab shows the input port.

If the service doesn't appear in a controller's browse list, check System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Local Network and make sure CueForge2 is enabled. Discovery is a convenience only — OSC keeps working over the IP address either way.

The web remote advertises separately as _cueforge._tcp, and session sync as _cueforge-session._tcp.

#Cue control

/cueforge/cue/<number> — go to and fire that cue, e.g. /cueforge/cue/5
/cueforge/load/<number> — arm (load) that cue without firing it
/cueforge/hotkey/<key> — fire the cue whose hotkey matches, e.g. /cueforge/hotkey/A

#Playback position

/cueforge/goto/time (float: seconds) — jump to a time position within the active cue

#Show state

/cueforge/showmode (int: 0 or 1, optional) — set Show Mode on or off; omit the argument to toggle
/cueforge/master/volume (float: 0.0 – 1.0) — set the grand master output volume as a linear gain
/cueforge/master/db (float: dB) — set the grand master in dB, the value the fader shows. Send -30 for -30 dB. Anything at or below -60 is silence. Use this rather than the linear address when you are driving CueForge from a console and thinking in dB.

#Queries (replies sent to the OSC output address)

/cueforge/query/armed — replies with the armed cue number and name
/cueforge/query/playing — replies with the playing cue number, name, and progress (0.0–1.0)
/cueforge/query/cuecount — replies with the total number of cues in the active list
