OSC Float Array

Updated: 15 Jun 2026

Method #

This node creates an array of floats from an OSC message, on a specific OSC address.

This node uses OSC, so you must have OSC enabled in your Project Settings in order to use it.

OSC messages can contain multiple arguments, meaning that you can receive several float values at a time. One way of working with multiple arguments form an OSC message is using the OSC Modifier, and selecting which argument to receive using the “OSC Channel Value Index” parameter. But when you want to receive a lot of values form one OSC message and apply them across your scene, this requires a lot of nodes, and a lot of patching of those nodes together.

All the OSC float array really does is let you do is receive all those modes in one place. But that opens up some new workflows, using the Custom Parameters and the Float Array To Points node.

There is more detail on the specific nodes pages, but the Custom Parameters node lets you either take your OSC float array’s data and apply it directly to control multiple parameters on a node at once via one connection, or create your own custom parameters that you can then receive, extract and apply anywhere else across your node graph.

The Float Array To Points will turn your array into a series of points in 3D space.
