## TouchOSC Mk1 Description
TouchOSC is a modular OSC and MIDI control surface for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad by hexler.

It supports sending and receiving Open Sound Control and MIDI messages over Wi-Fi and CoreMIDI inter-app communication and compatible hardware.

The interface provides a number of customizable touch controls to send and receive messages:

Faders / Rotary controls / Encoder controls / Push buttons / Toggle buttons / XY pads / Multi-faders / Multi-push / Multi-toggles / Multi-xy pads / LEDs / Labels / Time & battery displays

Additionally the program can send Accelerometer data. The application comes with example layouts and completely custom layouts can be constructed using the free TouchOSC Editor application.

## TouchOSC Mk1 Reviews in Canada

### ***-- "OSC!"
I have a lot planned between this, my modular and installations with Renoise among others.. Renoise has that OSC / Midi internal server. Which is great. Easy to really connect. My ONLY PROBLEM as I can’t review the other release.. was thinking eh..  separate programs? Common. I mean, sure, BUT give us supporters and previous owners (& lovers) of the app a little break and I would buy it 100%.
-- r0tb0x, 2021-09-05

### ***-- "Difficulty connecting to Mac/Mainstage"
I found the process getting Touch OSC to work with my Mac running Mainstage very challenging and took many steps including downloading 2 other apps on my Mac to make it work.

Even then it only worked 1/2 of the time and was always quite the process to get Touch OSC to connect with Mainstage on my Mac.
-- BFGibson, 2021-06-12

### *---- "Useless with ableton"
This is pretty useless with ableton, if you have the required technical knowledge you can get the scripts installed, but all the able support is very old and by directional views of things like clips playing aren’t really supported
-- Machuy, 2020-11-21

### ***** "Still fantastic"
I remember using this app nearly a decade ago. I downloaded it recently to use my iPhone to control buried parameters on my HX Stomp and Boss VE-500 vocal processor. I use it when setting up for a gig (to adapt to the venue). It works flawlessly with the Apple Camera Connector. The editor on Mac also works flawlessly, and transferring layouts from Mac to the iPad/iPhone takes 5 seconds over WiFi, no hassle at all, no cable needed, always works. Super customizable too. Thank you for this! Hopefully my review will help others like me who were unsure if this actually still works. If you need to control MIDI using your iPhone/iPad, it doesn’t get any simpler than this!
-- kevin_627, 2020-06-19

### ***** "Best midi app ever"
It is the best midi controller for ipad. It is super fun to custom with endless possibilities. Now, i can control plugins and instruments with a 7$ app, it is crasy ! It is the future of midi controller. Thanks for this app, i have been waiting a long time for this.
-- Stasinoize, 2016-12-15

### ***-- "Works well - needs to be easier to customize"
The editor program runs on a computer and needs Java6. 

The editor needs to be re- released with more recent Java.
-- Renod Renod, 2015-12-17

### *---- "No audiobus and no inter app audio"
I don't use the computer to make music so ween I bought this I thought it would work with inter app audio or audio bus this is a waste of money if you don't use the computer. I'd like my money back since I can't use the program
-- Shaggan, 2014-09-27

### ***** "Best iOS midi controller to date."
You can use this with anything. The possibilities are almost endless. You can design your own midi controller lay outs to work with any DAW or VST available.
-- TheShizznister, 2013-05-28

### *---- "Support"
I tried to contact support for this app by several emails and Facebook with no luck, no response from customer services with TouchOSC and live 9 problem. For that reason i could recommend that no one purchase this app for the lack of support.
-- DJJuniorPops, 2013-02-17

### ****- "iPhone 5 Support plox!"
I love this app, but having that extra screen space on my iPhone 5 is crucial. I'd like to see it updated for the iPhone 5 screen soon!
-- Llamasquishy, 2013-02-10

### *---- "Doesn't work with windows"
Should have a trial app to test for functionality what a waste of my 5 bucks.
-- Anonimous12121, 2013-01-18

### ***** "Not quite perfect yet but it's getting there"
Before I explain anything, I'm rocking some not so expensive equipment here it is pc with ableton live, novation launchpad, akai LPD 8 and this app on the ipad2. First off, yes it won't work off the bat. As I found out, if your as new to the works as I am, err was, you'll be bald before you get it working. Yes I said it, bald. Either through frustrating attempts or just the sheer knowledge you have to learn to get it set up, or maybe not. To be honest. It took me three days and several web pages later to figure it out. If your new to all this then you'll have the same problem. That said and done, with the equipment listed above, I managed to get them all working. THIS APP ROCKS. My pos little studio ( to some not me ) got way sweeter when I saw all that this app can do. I don't rely too much on the launch clips on the first page but I use the mixer board and the blah blah blah. All in all, hated it at first but  since  it's working 100%. Almost too cheap for what it can do.  It gets five stars if you noticed, because past all the frustrations to get it working, is worth it in the end and it's weight in gold.
-- Venom381, 2013-01-17

### ***** "Very nice"
You need to know a bit about network configuration but its perfect. Please update it so it can fit the new displays for the iPhone 5 etc.
-- Erik N, 2013-01-13

### **--- "Not working for me as it should (I think…)"
perhaps it's me but I got this to control Live and I can't seem to get the LiveControl to work with this. I try to download the Livecontrol for Mac and I can't get it open or running (I'm on Mountain Lion), I know that it's not this developer's fault but it is listed as a feature and isn't working. I don't exactly have all of the time necessary to build a template from scratch so right now the app is just sitting there… I love the idea but can't get it working right.
-- Kojo1234, 2012-10-18

### ****- "Much better tha props Figure!"
Paired with retouch and 3rd party midi app on your computer is a bit of a challenge.  But when you get it going "pow" it's Figure unboxed!  It's a Reason controller!!

Needs a bit more work in some controls ie nxxt, and tempo control.
-- sageofpsych, 2012-05-14

### ***-- "Great start"
This app is a great example of how to use the multi-touch screen effectively. It doesn't try to "look" like a hardware surface, instead opting to use the space as efficiently as possible; something I really appreciate.

It's also very responsive, which is among the most important aspects of a control surface in my opinion.

What needs fixing: like most apps that aim to be control surfaces, when it comes to mixing the scribble strips are way too small and in the wrong place. Larger, brighter, and at the bottom of each strip is the way to go. Currently you have to really look for your tracks; when you're working on a 30-40 track project, one spends to much time banking and searching. 

Second issue with TouchOSC: scrubbing. I'd like to scrub the bar/measure and time indicators to move through the project. 

Otherwise, it's my favourite so far.
-- yoink, 2012-04-30

### ****- "Absolutely great app!"
With great constant updates from the developer. The setup process (especially for PCs) is time consuming. This would be the only area I can think of for improvement.

Otherwise really great for ableton users!
-- adarsh.fernando, 2012-04-14

### ***** "The future is here!"
Another proof of just how incredible the iPad is for music. TouchOSC is years ahead, fully customizable, open source marvel of an app. It does everything it claims and more. It took me second to set up with the iMac.

Now I can control Traktor wirelessly (wifi) from the iPad. Templates are made available for the app but you can find some for free online or even create your own depending of your needs.
-- Arc-Vile, 2012-02-05

### ***** "Fully customizable!"
If you use this with the TouchOSC Editor it becomes... whatever you want!!! I now use it to control Traktor Pro in replacement of a 350$ hardware controller. I am looking forward to creating a new designs for Ableton Live now, 16-pad and synth controller.
-- Aeqon, 2012-01-07

### ***** "optimal!"
This is the best controller ever! You can build it as you want. I use it with modul8 + the UDart module for vjing and it work great!
-- Rebelsdigital, 2011-11-09
