Title: Launch external programs
Post by: gordo on February 18, 2025, 08:59:40 PM
Not sure if this is possible, but it would be nice to be able to call external programs/batch/script files or launch a URL from AZSlow.  I want to use this to interface to my home automation system that I use for studio automation.  Thanks.

AZ Controller can send OSC  messages. So technically you just need something reacting on OSC packets. There are examples of OSC server in python, then you can run whatever you want.

AZ Controller is a special system to translate parameters/states of the DAW to "messages". It has no build-in general purpose language interpreter. Also adding "launching" features will allow "exploit" like presets. I don't want that.
