Amazing Support
Super quick reply to my question about getting MIDI-RTP working, everything is great now! Made a weird MPE controllerweskoop
It’s good when you start to understand…
I’m using it alongside Audiobus 3 and StreamByter to connect keyboards to each other (via a USB MIDI interface) and to iPad instruments. I reckon you need all three of these to be completely versatile. The keyboards I am connecting are limited in their facilities and these three apps compensate for that and allow me to play iPad sounds as well, with everything under control.
The manual is factually correct, but it’s one of those that you only understand after you *really* understand. It’s not a how-to guide, it’s a reference. I recommend YouTube videos by Tim Corpus, which explain TouchOSC in some detail.Show lessSadOldManAgain
Indispensable
Long time user of both v1 and the current version. Really couldn’t do without it. I mostly use it as a midi controller. It’s very easy to knock together a basic control interface for quick, one off projects. More in depth, considered interfaces take more time to build and the learning curve can be steep. But it’s still a lot simpler to me than Lemur ever was. Really good support tooShow lesscatepuss
Still eventually won’t open
All updated. Works for a bit… then crash… then won’t open at all.. then won’t open at all.. then won’t open at all.. then re-install… then re-enter all my bridges & OSC addresses…
again…
repeat…

Amazing product!!
Love the team and all the utilities, we use it with Unreal Engine for live shows !!ibrews
Powerful & Flexible
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.Show lessASCap1023
If you can dream it, you can build it
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.JaydoubleP
It’s good!
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.JonPaul
Fantastic tool. Missing a VST/AU plug-in to be perfect
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.Show lessStudio_212
Works, But… MIDI IO might be required
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.Show lessOldsynthguy
