    Hi there,
    I can't wait to play with v.1.04 and the bidirectional OSC support :-)

    by the way,

    Do you have any scheme in mind to let us edit multiple Circle instances ?
    If I want to edit several Circles with on Lemur,I have to manualy set a different OSC port for each one, then switch port on the Lemur.
    I see 2 solutions:

    1) each instance has a prefix like "circle#1/filter/", "circle#2/filter/" but every Circle will use the same OSC port, I don't know if it is possible

    2) you choose OSC on the 1st Circle you insert, then the following will choose the next OSC port.

    I prefer solution #1.

    Waiting for you comments :-)

  2. Solution 1 is the best, I'm not too happy about Circle automatically trying to open new ports.
    But it is a tricky one and something we have tried to come up with a solution for. The problem is that its hard to decide which instance of Circle gets what prefix and how to remember the settings. We can't store it in the Circle presets as they are instance blind. The only option is to store it inside the host project file. Then each instance gets a prefix incrementing in the order that you load Circles. This though would need an on/off switch as some people might not want this to happen. Another better option is to provide a prefix control, letting you set the prefix as you want. Both these methods though would have to be setup each time you create a new project, unless you create a project template with the setup done and you use this when creating a new project.
