New version now available! This is the classic Mk1 version of TouchOSC for older devices, please check out the new version now simply called TouchOSC on the store.
TouchOSC is a modular OSC and MIDI control surface for Android.
It supports sending and receiving Open Sound Control and MIDI messages over Wi-Fi.
The application allows to remote control and receive feedback from software and hardware that implement the OSC or MIDI protocols such as Apple Logic Pro/Express, Ableton Live, Renoise, Pure Data, Max/MSP/Jitter, Max for Live, OSCulator, VDMX, Resolume Avenue/Arena, Modul8, Plogue Bidule, NI Traktor, NI Reaktor, Quartz Composer, Supercollider, vvvv, Derivative TouchDesigner, Isadora and many others.
The interface provides a number of customizable touch controls to send and receive messages:
Faders / Rotary controls / Encoder controls / Push buttons / Toggle buttons / XY pads / Multi-faders / Multi-push / Multi-toggles / Multi-xy pads / LEDs / Labels / Time & battery displays
Additionally the program can send Accelerometer data. The application comes with example layouts and completely custom layouts can be constructed using the free TouchOSC Editor application.
Please navigate to https://hexler.net/touchosc-mk1 for more information, video demonstrations and download the free layout editor application for OS X, Windows and Linux and the free TouchOSC Bridge utility to easily connect to any MIDI-capable application on your computer.
Still a great app after all these years, that still works fine. Try it out! With most major AV software supporting OSC nowadays, and incredible tools such as NodeRED and Chataigne out there, you could probably make a control service for anything.
Worked flawlessly before update, now refuses to see the .touchosc custom UI files when I try to import them.
This app does not connect via USB via Android. This makes it useless for me. Refund DENIED by Google. No response to my query to the vendor. Very disappointing and at a cost. Be warned!
Cannot find host at all, completely useless
Great idea. MIDI messages not being sent and not being received via USB/MIDI.

I really dislike developers that make new paying version of the same software when you have already buy the original one without offering any upgrading plan. I wish you big faillure.
