TouchOSC Mk1

Utter garbage! Has to be the hardest and most complex thing to set up ever used! 5 hours of my life gone! Do not bother

Using to control Madrix. It’s great and works great. It would have been 5 stars if we had the ability to edit the layouts via iPad

Admittedly I’ve only used this for a couple of hours but it’s been very good so far. I was able to program a simple fader interface for my MIDI keyboard in only a couple of minutes with no problems, using the intuitive programming tool on Windows. It connected fine using the iPad camera connection and a hardware MIDI interface. I also found that there was a layout that connected via OSC to my Reaper DAW - that also seems to work fine. Looking forward to programming up something more complicated to control a multi-keyboard / expanded setup.

Once, TouchOSC was one of the best apps for OSC streaming via mobile. Now, with the limitation of wifi only streaming and the lack of possibility to create an ad hoc secure network on the mac, the app falls short. Moreover, TouchOSC Bridge does not run on the latest version of macOS Mojave. The app seems abandoned to its own faith.

Could be brillianr but you need to edit on Mac not on Ipad! This removes you from direct control and not your intution. TB Midi stuff works directly on the Ipad and performs many of the same tricks without a great learning curve or an extra computer.

Has very good potential but currently I can’t get key commands to work at all. I’ve set up a custom drum pad for use with superior Drummer 3 and once plugged in it’s almost latency free. Very handy tool but like I say I would like to see the key commands working...

If you have an iPad or an iPhone you can use TouchOSC create your very own simple or complex MIDI, CC & OSC controls customised to do what you need them to do. Control your DAW, your softsynths, trigger notes or Program Change data, write automation all from your iPad (via Wifi or USB). I'm using TouchOSC to control all the above via a series of templates written to perfomr the tasks that fit my workflow. The app is regularly updated with new features, plus there's great tech support and a user forum. Definitely reccommended.

Great application still supporting old operating systems. Infinite possibilities for MIDI control. Thanks.

Well it's taken me a long time to get working and I'm sure simple issues to point out that iTunes must be installed on your hosting PC would have helped, however it's doing what it needs to and I've jumped in and started making my own interfaces for touch Osceola, which is great in my Ableton Live set up over USB, there are some glitches in the synchronicity of the device when both Wifi and USB are being used at the same time, both interfering with the output (obvious once seen) but also sending presets, I could go on ironing out issues for new users but like a lot of these things you just have to take a leap of faith and dive in, as once understood it's not that difficult to set up. Now I'm up and running I am interested to take things further with Lemur or Konkreet performer, but Touch OSC looks to be a good default place to be.

Great app for creating custom layouts to suit your needs. Easy to configure. Could be improved by allowing host ip and in/out ports to be saved along with a layout for multi purpose use.
