## 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 United States

### *---- "Will Not Control Ableton Live From iPad"
I’ve tried everything, followed the online “manual” (such as it is) and TouchOSC from my iPad will not send any midi control to Ableton Live. Installed TouchOSC Bridge on my desktop PC… multiple times, TouchOSC finds TouchOSC Bridge my desktop, connects to it with no issue, configured Ableton Live to correctly to send and receive MIDI using the TouchOSC Bridge but no midi commands from sent from my iPad using TouchOSC  register in Ableton Live. I have wasted HOURS fighting with this app, did send in a contact request but as of yet no response. Even at one point installed Protokol, using the OSC protocol was able to see the midi messages being sent but STILL… no midi changes in Ableton. I WANT MY FIVE DOLLARS BACK!!!!
-- Garbage 001, 2022-10-18

### *---- "Abandoned app for more cash grab!"
Instead of providing existing users with an update or special price for the new version the developer just renamed it and ABANDONED existing users!
-- Alex Zvook, 2021-11-02

### **--- "Pretty and configurable, but wholly non-functional"
The documentation is lacking, and I was not able to get this software working with touch bridgeOSC. Couldn’t find any recent tutorials on getting this to work, either. It’s a shame because this software has so much promise and I really want to love it, but the barrier to entry is just too high to make it worth it right now
-- bryanzera, 2021-04-02

### ****- "Solid App, Needs Some Polish"
This is an incredibly useful app. It works great for designing templates and triggering MIDI commands from a custom layout. It needs some polish though. Lots of little annoyances are present, like screen rotation issues, a clunky app interface, and a companion layout design app that has been neglected for years. Overall, I would 100% recommend this app. I just wish the developers would put a little more time into cleaning up the user experience.
-- musicstudent14, 2020-12-25

### **--- "I had high hopes but it’s broken"
After reading some of the reviews I had high hopes for this as a control surface on my pc for Ableton and other software.  However I cannot gets the OSC portion of the software to work.  Core midi works just fine, but as the editor will not sync via the bridge I’m stuck with a bunch of templates that won’t work, especially for Ableton Live.  Tech support is responsive but not helping with the main issue and by the looks of it I’m far from alone in it not syncing properly via OSC.  If I get resolution I’ll update my review, but for now 2 stars as at least I can use a few templates in other software.
-- chowderhead1962, 2020-11-26

### ***** "Bravo! This is the missing link"
At least it was for me.  Somewhat obsessed with midi controllers and had been tweaking a live loops set up and for some time just always had that 1 button or command that I didn’t want to have to press. I have had like 5-6 of the more well known midi to daw controllers (notation, Akai) and still use those plenty.

But this app magnificently does things that none of those controllers can do.  This helped me creatively, technically and now I have a lot more flexibility to do more interesting thing in my sets and continue the exploration.  

I have never written a review before - this app is a must have if you do anything with MIDI
-- Cockhat, 2020-09-16

### *---- "Mac issue"
Not detecting my OSC message on MAX on my laptop despite being on same WiFI network.
-- $SJ$, 2020-07-17

### ***** "Great bt needs more options"
I using this app in my studio setup , such a great app, i want to ask developer to add more option i gui editor to make graphics more interesting like using system fonts for design and add png or jpg in interface , usb connection sometimes drops bt network is ok.
-- Alfredooog, 2020-05-10

### ***** "Fixed Long OSC Arguments"
Thank you for fixing the long OSC argument bug! This is a huge help. 

I do have one feature request for the future and that is the ability to send string commands. Thanks for your continued work.
-- computer savage, 2020-05-07

### *---- "Doesn’t work with Ableton Live :["
I haven’t been able to get the editor to sync with my iPad. About 60% of the templates that it comes with work. But if your intent is to use the “Live Control” or make your own templates, it didn’t work for me. I even checked all the forums, seems the templates for supporting live 9-10 don’t work. Too bad wanted to use this software... I guess I might have to go back to using “Touchable”. If the Devs would update the Ableton templates and fix the sync issues I will change my review. Wasted too much time I could have spent making music instead of trouble shooting abandoned-ware. Shame has potential.
