Magical
Absolutely superb. Beautiful interface, extremely well executed app. This brings to your iPhone something that only a few years ago was a dream for music producers - unless you had two grand for a Lemur. The innovation and imagination shown by the original Jazzmutant device has been beautifully adapted here. In conjunction with Osculator and Ableton Live, this is a total pleasure to use. Well done Hexler (and Camille at Osculator) - totally brilliant. And I'm still working out how some of it works! Thank you.

Great controller for Visualists
This is a great controller for VJ's - easy to use, defult layouts are good but love being able to make my own. I use Touch OSC with VDMX and Quartz Composer to controll video layers, clip selection, FX, timing, etc - all from the one little controller! - Highly recommend purchasing this one!
Great work Hexler.

Just get it!
This has replaced the Korg Nano-Pads for me, its such a good price for what you are getting. (Think of how much it would cost to get a fully customizable touch screen interface!) I highly reccomend it to anyone, it is usefull in my home studio, but a life saver on the road.
Revised Review...
I had written I would rewrite my review if I got TouchOSC werking...
I feel like a complete idiot, but here it is...
TouchOSC is GREAT. Easy to use, easy to setup and SUPER responsive. I use a Novation SL MKII as my main controller, but its XY axis pad has poor sensitivity and response. I substitute it with the XY pad in TouchOSC. FANTASTIC. The phone sits nicely on my controller as well ;)
The problem I had was my default Firewall settings. They were blocking the incoming messages from my phone. This is where I feel like a complete dork. A very obvious thing to check that I was overlooking.
This is the one step/tip missing from the setup information on the Hexler website. This may be obvious to most, but it is best to include any and all steps in a setup guide. Once that issue was resolved, things werked flawlessly.
Thanks for an awesome App/Tool.
note: You need OSCulator for your phone to communicate with your computer. To get a registered copy is $20. Without registration you will have interruptions. But it is well worth the money.

Works with Traktor
Took me about half an hour to get my head around how it all worked, set it up with OSCulator on my macbook pro, works exactly as described. Going to get myself a little wireless router to take a, no internet, network with me to gigs. Recomended application for any digital DJ with an iPhone.
Brilliant
Great app.
Extremely easy to setup (once you've got the additional free software and follow the walkthrough on the site) and really intuitive.
Been messing around with it in Ableton and Reason, so far i've got had more fun with it in Ableton, but am looking forward to really pushing it within Reason.
Can't wait to get my new digital desk for work so I can wonder around the room with my phone and mix accordingly.
+1 to you good sir.

Help With Ableton
I recently purchased this app, really looking forward to being able to use it on my Ableton Live set-up I have on my Pc (Windows Xp). I'm an amateur at using this sort of software, but I thought this looked worth my time (and money) to try and get it to work. I downloaded it and followed all the instructions on the Hexler website to make it work, and got it to work with everything (pd etc) until the very last stage, which is mapping the controls to Ableton. I would greatly appreciate it if someone were to write another review back explaining how to do it, I'm sure others, not just me, would be very greatful too.
The five stars is because, once working, I'm sure this will be a fantastic application. Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to help me.

Works Perfectly With Windows OTB
Comes with full PD scripts pre built to enable linking to non OSC apps such as Ableton. Is it better than OSCemote? Well, both are good, that has 3 prebuilt interface screens this has 18 (over 5 groups, you can load 1 group at a time) and most of the groups come with PD scripts to convert OSC to MIDI, OSCemote currently required you to build your own or know some PD. With TouchOSC you can be up and running in 10 mins maybe less, no PD skills needed. Supports 2 way comms and custom interfaces are promised, which will make this a killer app, but even without that it should get 5 stars.
