TouchOSC

Hexler’s support team rocks. I had a problem with connecting the XY pad via OSC to the Ableton Max for Live Connection kit. They were very patient and sent me a complete walk through with screen shots and everything! Thank you guys!

Superb tool to interact with Ableton through MIDI. Sketching a lay-out for live performances. Great stuff!! Grtz, Skov Bowden

The functionalities are nice but there are way too much bugs and crashes for the price asked! For that price a program should be bug free!! Or at least crash free.

The crash cycle continues.. It seriously deadens my spirit.

Love the team and all the utilities, we use it with Unreal Engine for live shows !!

There’s a lot of freedom in the way you can set up your layouts. If you know Lua, you can add even more functionality and control. On top of this, their support team regularly pushes out updates, implementing user requests where it makes sense. I use TouchOSC every day. My layout is largely geared toward composing, but I use it to create buttons that trigger shortcuts and run macros in many other apps, too.

If you dream of building a custom interface to control a piece of software or hardware, this is the platform you can do it on. Mind you it’s going to take some patience but all the tools are there. excellent support as well.

It’s definitely not as rich as Lemur in nearly every regard. But, some data editing is much easier in touchosc. It’s definitely not the sort-of-an app it was back in, say, 2011.

I’ve been using mk1 for 10+ years. I’ve purchased mk2 doubtful I will use the LUA editor. The editor is the greatest feature of the tool IMHO. There are so many online ressources to help you learn LUA (I am not a developer). The LUA Editor has helped me built some unique (and impossible to do before) synthetizer templates. I only wish Hexler will bring a VST / AU DAW plug-in soon (a-la ctrlr) and this toll will be perfect.

I can’t bust the devs for iOS idiosyncrasies, and the app is, as others have mentioned, almost there. But… I struggled for a couple of afternoons with a 2021 iPad and Windows 11. For whatever reason, usb wired or wireless the app would work, and suddenly stop transmitting. I never got the mirror editing from desktop to work. Which doesn’t matter and the desktop nag screen is a pain. I got fed up, plugged a MIO MIDI interface into the iPad and into the DAW of choice, not a single glitch. So if you’re cussing this app on iPad or phone, or playing a real gig where wireless and BT aren’t options and wired maybe works for you, maybe doesn’t, pick up a cheap used iOS MIDI interface.
