Useful and well thought out OSC tools
OSC Toolkit is a complete and cleverly laid out startpoint for those wishing to add OSC control to their live projects. I often design m4l devices for my own needs but this is the kind of tools which is a no-brainer. The GUIs are clear and readable, with info readable in Live's info window if you're not familiar with those control devices, and nice little details in the MIDI osc device for example (loop, jitter, user custom shapes in the presets, etc,...).

OSC Toolkit by Riccardo Sellan
Overview
Ableton Live is a powerhouse for music production and performance, but when it comes to communicating with the wider world of visual software, hardware controllers, and networked devices, there has always been a gap. The OSC Toolkit by Riccardo Sellan closes that gap entirely.
This MaxforLive device pack brings full OSC/UDP integration directly into your Ableton Live session. Five purpose-built devices let you send, receive, filter, map, trigger, and monitor OSC messages across your local network, connecting Live to any OSC-compatible software or hardware without leaving your DAW.
Whether you are syncing visuals in TouchDesigner, controlling parameters in Unreal Engine, triggering lighting cues in Resolume Arena, or feeding data to a Raspberry Pi installation, the OSC Toolkit gives you the bridge you have been missing.
The Devices
OSC Sender transmits OSC/UDP messages over the network from a single parameter. Adjust the value manually, automate it in your arrangement, or map it via MIDI. Choose between Change mode (sends only when the value updates) or Continuous mode (sends at a selectable rate). Set your IP, port, address, and min/max range directly from the device interface.
OSC Multi-Sender works on the same principle but scales it up: eight independent parameters, each with its own address, range, and active toggle, all sharing a single network connection. Perfect for controlling complex multi-parameter systems from one device.
OSC MIDI takes a different approach. Instead of sending raw parameter values, it uses incoming MIDI notes as triggers to generate modulation shapes sent over OSC. Choose between a fully drawable envelope (Shaper mode) or a traditional ADSR. Add jitter, echo, and feedback for evolving, organic modulation. Sync to Live’s tempo or run free. Select specific trigger notes or accept any incoming note.
OSC Mod works in the opposite direction, receiving OSC/UDP messages from external sources and mapping them to parameters inside Ableton Live. Filter incoming messages by address, select argument indices, set data ranges, apply exponential curves, and smooth incoming data with interpolation. The Learn function automatically detects and populates address filters from incoming traffic.
OSC Monitor provides a real-time console view of all OSC messages arriving on a specified port. Filter by address, visualise data on a scope, freeze or clear the console, and adjust print rate and line limits. Essential for debugging, calibrating, and understanding what data your network is actually carrying.

OSC Mod – Now getting IP information correctly
Initial Release – April 2025
Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
.amxd files – These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
