TouchOSC App Reviews

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 yo

The potential for this software can make one’s head spin, but it has become an irreplaceable part of my process for everything from Adobe to Ableton, to simple admin stuff. The interface itself is a bit clunky, but easy to get used to once you understand it. I wish I could do more batch-level updates on different settings, like changing the size of buttons or adjusting midi settings, but hey! It’s still incredible.

I purchased a few weeks ago, and there’s a learning curve, not terrible but you have to learn what you are controlling and how. Since, I’ve built myself a DAW composing WS, hands on control, macros, workflow enhancements. Highly recommend.

The top OSC control surface app for customization.

I bought this app for modulation wheels for MainStage. But this function no(

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

This app saves me huge amounts of time creating custom user interfaces on iOS devices. You can connect the app on the iOS device to the app on your computer and see/ test your interface in real time while you’re making it. This feature makes it painless to tweak your interface to perfection. It’s very stable and dependable, a must for any software I’d consider using in live production. I highly recommend this app to anyone that needs custom MIDI/ osc interfaces.

This new Mk2 version is awesome. Lots of power and flexibility under the hood with Lua scripting. App has been stable so far, zero glitches or hiccups. There’s an active user community on the fb for examples and help.

Some of these are upside down on my iPad which is obviously a big problem and I hope it can be fixed soon

I was having some issues with connecting to Onyx, so I reached out to support to see if they could help. The level of support I received was unparalleled by ANY company I’ve worked with in the past. They didn’t just tell me why I was doing wrong, they provided an in-depth explanation as well as several possible things I was doing wrong and how I can fix them. Nobody has ever been as helpful and willing to explain as Hexler and I’m incredibly grateful for it!

my best app. please support joycon.

I cannot conceive of not having TouchOSC. It is completely indispensable to my workflow now. Key switches, automatically naming mixes and stems, transport controls, DAW commands, faders and pan, and on and on. All reconfigurable at the touch of a hat. And the new version takes it light years further. I would rate it 10 out of 10. Or a Nigel Tufnel 11.
