About this app

Brand-new app. Brand-new powerful editor.

We've listened for the past 10 years and we've re-written the application from the ground up - with speed, features and usability in mind. A GPU-powered, fast and advanced integrated editor is part of TouchOSC on all platforms - create the most complex of control layouts with ease and precision.

MIDI, OSC and more...

TouchOSC supports sending and receiving any number of MIDI and OSC messages on many connections simultaneously. On top of OSC over UDP & TCP, we support every type of wired & wireless MIDI connection your device can offer, including MIDI over USB.

Cross-Network. Synchronized editing.

Multiple instances of TouchOSC can be connected on the network for synchronized editing. Use the precision of your desktop's mouse and keyboard for fine-grained, detailed editing - test-drive and preview in real-time on all connected touch-screen devices at the same time.

Scripting and local messages.

A lightweight and fast scripting engine allows deep access to all aspects of your controller and enables limitless customization and interactivity. For less complex tasks we've added local messages - simply wire up controls to transmit or display values; no need to break out the big (code) guns. Easy.

This is only the beginning...

We've supported and updated TouchOSC Mk1 for more than 10 years and we're planning to do the same for this new version. We've already got a whole bunch of features cooking that were just not quite ready yet. There is so much more to come...

Welcome to the next generation!

Ratings and reviews

Easily customizable once you get how the options work. Works even without WiFi network if you use your Android phone as a hotspot for your laptop. Customizability is endless. However, the mobile editor app must have a gesture to pan the view (my AutoCAD habits, I'd say). Having center zoom only makes it tricky to move stuff around the interface.

I use this for starting tracks in ableton, for a while I was using Ableton as a mixer and it worked well

TouchOSC is actually very good at what it does. What is disappointing is the licensing model. It is pretty difficult to create a controller interface on a phone, so the advice is to use a PC. But you have to pay for a 2nd license for the PC even if you are never going to use it as the actual controller, just to create the interface. Classic example of a company not understanding their customers.
