All variables that have a small **OSC** button can be controlled via OSC protocol.

This can be achieved in the **OSC In** window where if you click on **Regenerate** button, every Layer variable with OSC flag set to True, will get a unique OSC address.

When an OSC message with the correct address arrives, the green circle will light up.&#x20;

In Layer Properties the OSC flag of that variable will turn green and the variable's value will get set.
