   here's some starting points.

   Create Manta MKtl

   q = ();
   
   q.mantaBinary = "/<PATH/TO/MANTAOSC>/MantaOSC 0 31417 57120";
   q.mantaBinary.runInTerminal;
   
   q.manta = MKtl('manta', "*manta");
   q.manta.device.updateSrcAddr(port: 31417);
   q.manta.device.updateRecvPort(57120);
   
   // enable LED control
   q.manta..sendSpecialMessage(\enableLEDControl);
   

   // set slider LED
   q.setSliderLED = {|q, mktl, idx = 0, color = "off"| // "amber", "red"
   	mktl.device.destination.sendMsg("/manta/led/slider", color, 0, 1<<(7-idx));
   };
   q.setSliderLEDs = {|q, mktl, idx, color = "off"| // "amber", "red"
   	mktl.device.destination.sendMsg("/manta/led/slider", color, 0, 255-(255>>idx));
   }
   
   // set specific LED
   q.setSliderLED(q.manta, 0, "off")
   
   // clear and set random "bargraph-style"
   (
   q.setSliderLEDs(q.manta, 8, "off");
   q.setSliderLEDs(q.manta, 9.rand, "amber");
   )

   I guess OSCMKtlDevice:send should convert its outValues
   to a bitmasked array if an entry in its desc says so.

   Generally, not sure how much sense it makes to implement every single-device case,
   could be considered just-in-case coding.

   @LFSaw, does off/amber/red work with strings as in your example already?

   // roughly, this would be the place to do it: 
   	send { |key, val|
   		var elDesc, oscPath, outvalues,valIndex;
   		
   		// ... dont set if no destination
   	
   			// prepare outmessage value for a collective - array of values to send
   		if ( val.isKindOf( Array ) ){
   			elDesc = mktl.collectiveDescriptionFor( key );
   			valIndex = 0;
   
   			oscPath = elDesc[\oscPath];
   			outvalues = List.new;
   			elDesc[\argTemplate].do { |it|
   				if ( it.isNil ) {
   					outvalues.add( val.at( valIndex ) ); valIndex = valIndex + 1;
   				}{
   					outvalues.add( it )
   				};
   			};
   			if ( valIndex < val.size ) {
   				outvalues = outvalues ++ (val.copyToEnd( valIndex ) ) };
   			outvalues = outvalues.asArray;
   		
   			////// ADD HERE: elDesc[\bitMask] describes bitMask conversion properties //// 
   			if (elDesc[\bitMask].notNil) { 
   				// do conversions here
   				outvalues = ... 
   			};
   		} {
   			// prepare outmessage for value of a single element:
   		
   			// ... 
   		};
   		// and send
   		destination.sendMsg(oscPath, *outvalues);
   	}

   I agree, why not implement simple-to-use set methods for the 8 slider LEDs in mantaOSC.
