OSC!

r0tb0x on

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%.

Difficulty connecting to Mac/Mainstage

BFGibson on

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.

Useless with ableton

Machuy on

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

Still fantastic

kevin_627 on

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!

Best midi app ever

Stasinoize on

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.

Works well - needs to be easier to customize

Renod Renod on

The editor program runs on a computer and needs Java6. The editor needs to be re- released with more recent Java.

No audiobus and no inter app audio

Shaggan on

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

Best iOS midi controller to date.

TheShizznister on

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.

Support

DJJuniorPops on

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.

iPhone 5 Support plox!

Llamasquishy on

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!
