TouchOSC For Android!!!
Posted on: 08.12.2010 by Clay Lorow
Its out.
Its free.
Its beautiful.

http://hexler.net/software/touchosc-android

Its just that I don't know how to set it up...did what it says in guide but no luck.
I suppose the flaw is in "make sure both devices are connected to the same network". Is it simply needed to connect notebook and phone to same router or am I missing something?!?!??!

anyways control actually looks pretty good . when did it come out? I checked a few months ago in the app store and was fairly disappointed with the choices available. Will test once I get my droid x unbricked. lol.

EXACTLY. I mean sure it's time consuming and costs money and what not... but when the users are developing it more so than the devs, there is a serious problem.

Mine works shit, the latency is rediculus, it responds like 1.5sec later. Crap. It might be different with Mac though, I'm using galaxy tab 10.1, pc and pure data

You should get one anyway, they are so nice and smooth. Something that most android devices arent very good at. I personally love my galaxy tab 10.1". It is a tank and goes with me everywhere.

nice can't wait for feedback from people who try it. this will probably make me finally pick up an android tablet

seems to be a few apps on the android market - i hadn't thought to look there don't have any android device atm anyway tho.

anyone know if any of these are usuable?



all i'd be looking for is something i could customise to put some faders where i wanted, a bunch of buttons, maybe an XY pad and be able to have midi feedback ofc.

it has huge lag on my android i5700. So its not usable for me.

Guys, look in the market for an app called "Control". Its new and well supported. Android osc lives on!!

very cool... tho i suspect you are in the minority - or maybe i'm being unfair?

i remember a while back someone here explaining a mapping he'd done using midikatapult but also saying he wasnt willing to pay for it! wtf! dont use it if you're not willing to pay for it - midikatapult only costs about 20$ i believe too....

i'll get off my developer-high-horse now i just know how much time developing can eat sometimes...

"frustration" sure... i would pay at least 30$ for an android version if he did a multi touch version etc. i dont see how 5$ is at all fair - unless he sold shit loads of copies - and even then 10$ or 20$ might be more right as a minimum.

i guess he has more personal commitment to the ipad etc, doesnt want to open source his code and then lose ownership if it, and doesnt have enough time to work on the android version.

as a developer i can appreciate his situation... but i'd love for the android version to have the missing features. i just can't justify buying an ipad when all i want it for is a touch surface for music software.

maybe he should see if people are willing to pay enough to at least cover his development costs. put out a message that he'd do it if he got enough preorders at 30$ a pop or something?

So here is HOW TO PUT YOUR LAYOUT:
-download this http://www.multiupload.com/GXW01G6URJ
-place TOUCHOSC apk here "place-apk-here-for-modding"
-double click Script.bat
-chose 1
-now extract with winrara your TOUCHOSC layout and copy index.xml file
-go to apk_manager_4.9/project/touchosc folder and paste index.xml to assets/Beatmachine.touchosc
-now go to script.bat window and chose 5
basically you need to zip it and sign it again(I believe number 5 should do it), havent done this for 6 months.
-I believe your signed apk is here "apk_manager_4.9/place-apk-here-for-modding"
certainly worth a try and thanks for the info, nobody else is handing it out.

does he charge for it yet? if not then it's tricky to be "pissed off" with something that a developer is giving away for free.

i'd buy a copy from him (and then an android tablet) if he sold a version for android that had multi touch - else i dont really see the use in it.

extremely interested in the android tsi stuff. although functionality for android sucks bawls. and hexler is kinda being tricky with releasing the source code and such so the users have been trying to develop it in the hexler community s. I'm working on being able to import .touchosc files to android devices. it's a bitch. Ah well such is life. still crappy on tablets. still no multitouch. maybe in the next couple of months...

I got an 7" Android tablet which I'll have to try this out. Probably gonna work like shit with my resistive touch screen. I don't believe my Motorola Flipout and it's 3" screen is big enough to be much use.

Hey.

Just gave this a spin on my Desire.
It was a bit of a pain to set up under windows (with PD extended and a midi link), but I got it to work!

For those in question:
1. Download the app from the market
2. Download Pure Data Extended (scroll down to the Windows link)
3. Download a sample patch to go along with the desired TouchOSC layout from the Hextler site (again, scroll down to the windows section, and find the patch for the layout you are using)
4. Install Midiyoke, LoopBe, or some other virtual midi cable.

Now.
5. Load up the app on the android, load up the desired patch in PD extended.
6. Under config in the app, there's a section that says Hostname / IP. Give it the local ip address for your windows machine, this can be found by opening the command line and typing Ipconfig /all.
7. The port should be good, but if not, it's usually 8000
8. In PD extended, under media, midi settings, select the virtual midi cable for input and output.

Now you should have a PD Extended patch that responds to your phones input, and a midi cable running to whatever application you wish (Traktor, Live, etc).

Hope this helps

Member u can do this for android tablets too...right?

I can never get touchosc to run right..with my droid or my ipod. I map a couple buttons press play..and the music starts then starts cutting in and out and wont stop.

Well set it up. Use wizard in connectify, give it a name, password and what is else required.
Start server. Next, on your phone connect to that virtual hotspot as to any other wifi router or so.
Finaly, in TouchOSC on phone, enter IP adress of that virtual hotspot in setings>Network. You can see that IP by pointing with your mouse on connectify icon in taskbar for few sec.

Also PD-Extended won't start picking unless you start PD Midi patch and DON'T CLOSE THAT WINDOW WHEN IS OPENED!
Here is link to one, rest of them are on TouchOSC site.

YESS! I can finally put this 4 inch multi touch screen to some use in my dj sets! I had been trying to figure out how to use it for filters etc. Will play around with this.
