TouchOSC

Hexler LLC

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

Great app. Works so much better than earlier version. Horrible documentation. You spend 10 minutes installing it and connecting to your computer, and hours trying to figure out how to create custom layouts. The online help seems to take you in circles, never really answering your questions. I messaged customer support, been 2 days waiting for a reply. With the earlier version, the reverse was true - hard to setup, but once you got it to work, the documentation made it a breeze to get up and running with creating custom layouts quickly. I'm giving 4 stars. Would be 5 if the support was better.

The addition of the desktop application with the server functionality has really made this a outstanding application. Having more fine grain control with things like osc addressing creates many more possible combinations for creative setups. The fact that you can route to multiple osc hosts from a single device is another really great feature addition.

Ran into a ton of issues trying to import .touchosc files into the app. I downloaded a .touchosc file onto my Android device and tried to import it via the app, but the app must not be requesting the right mime types because the Files app then doesn't make the .touchosc file available for selection. Also tried to install the TouchOSC editor and sync the layout over wifi, but just can't figure out how to do that on the Android app the the documentation online is really lacking. Want a refund.
