Many OSC devices get their IP from a DHCP making it difficult to set
an IP in Ardour's OSC settings. Therefore, most of the settings are
<em>default</em> settings. Values are set and the next OSC surface to
send a /set_surface* message to Ardour will use those settings. An OSC
send an OSC message to Ardour will use those settings. An OSC
surface that has previously sent a message to Ardour will retain the
settings it already had. The <em>Clear OSC Devices</em> will reset all
device settings. A <em>/refresh</em> message will both reset the
device settings as well as set that device to any new settings. The

device settings. A <em>/refresh</em> message will set that device to
any new settings. The use of <em>/set_surface</em> will override all
settings except <em>Port Mode</em>. <em>Port Mode</em> affects all
connected surfaces and so all surfaces must use either the set manual
port or send OSC messages from the same port they expect to receive
feedback on.

This field is informational only. It shows where Ardour will receive
OSC messages. The system Name and the Port are the most important parts.
Normally, Ardour will use 3819 as it's server port. However, if some
other server is already using this port, Ardour will try to use the next
port up and will keep trying up to 10 ports up.

<h4>Send Page Size:</h4>

This allows setting the size of pages for sends. In the case there are
more sends than controls. A size of 0 is the same as no paging and
all sends are directly controllable.

<h4>Plugin Page Size:</h4>
<p>
This allows setting the size of pages for plugin controls. Some
plugins have hundreds of controls and so it may be necessary to page
the plugin controls to a limited number of physical controls. A size
of 0 is the same as no paging and all plugin controls are directly
controllable.

Ardour now allows the use of preset settings. The default settings
used are the settings from the last session or the factory defaults
the first time OSC is enabled. As soon as any of these settings are
changed, the Preset will change to "User" and the new settings will be

It is suggested to also change the name value inside to avoid confusion
in the preset listing. Ardour will ship with some of it's own presets
that go with some popular OSC control and map combinations.

This button has been removed after Ardour 5.10. Instead this action
is triggered by any change in the settings.

This button clears operating device profiles so that Ardour will reset
all devices settings to use the new defaults from changed settings. a
