Default Midi/osc to control track volume but not with Actions

edit: Realearn is the solution.

Hi.
I would like to control 2 tracks volumes in 2 differents projects tabs with 2 CC (Better OSC but ok with midi).
My controller is a light management software sending osc or midi.
(ex: "reapA/vol float" to first tab, "reapB/vol float" to 2nd tab). I can send midi also.

I need to be able to do a crossfade or independant volume ctrl on the fly of 2 tracks (or folder track) on 2 different timeline and the values of the 2 tracks volumes come from my software (or whatever a midi controller like LaunchcontrolXL))

I tried a lot of things:

-Actions: OSC/midi/shortcut is the same on differents tabs.

-Cycle action: next tab, set volume, previous tab but how can i manage the value to be applied to set volume....
I use cycle action to play/stop tracks on different tabs, that's ok for a "toggle" action but how can i manage the float value?

-Reacontrolmidi: it does not control track volume but the inside midi volume of midi flow?

I could use the native sampler or playtime but it's better using tabs for my projects for different reasons.
I could use script but very difficult for me to start from scratch. I think i can modify an existing script but i can't find such a script.
Gonna try to find some on Github...

Any ideas?

Just some ideas.
Maybe you could use ReaPack->MidiVolumeControl instead of the tracks Volume slider, same works on the Midi Stream within the track (instead of the global ReaperControlPath, that drivers messages etc.) .

AFAIK, ReaPack->ReaLearn is able to control the track volume slider.

A problem might be addressing two Tabs. You could route the audio from one tab to the other (using the ReaRoute trick) and handle your remote control in a single tab.

I don't know it it's possible to route Midi from one tab to another but supposedly you can receive the stream from the same Midi device in both.

You need to use an undocumented feature (edit a configuration file). It is described in some forum messages.

Happily, this ReaRoute functionality (routing between Reaper tabs) is available for Mac, as well.

I don't understand. ReaRoute (here) is for transferring Audio between taps.

I was talking about my intial request, controlling 2 tracks volumes in 2 differents projects tabs with 2 OSC messages.

Realearn (in your second answer, mschnell) is perfect to do that.
Rearoute is probably another solution. I will check it because it can be very usefull.

Thank you very much.
