iPad/ TouchOSC crew, if you aren't using this beast you are missing out!
Posted on: 04.07.2011 by Romelia Stankard
I figure if I'm willing to spend ~$30 for osculator and touchosc then I can afford $9 for the craziest mapping ever for the iPad. I believe this is up there with the most comprehensive map I have seen for ANY controller complete with full control over beat grids and advanced functions.

I went out and ordered it and it has been blowing my mind for the past 3 hours. Whether you use it alone or with a mixer it's nuts. I mean this thing is 13 pages/layouts all in one template. Worth every penny. Setup was totally painless and it works perfectly.

I'm sure I'm late to this and some of you have seen it but...

thanks.
Think that's what OSCulator is for.

Confirm its working even without camera connection kit.

But with the rptMidi (on Windows) would be possible to send midi messages from TouchOSC to Traktor with the standard cable?
How does MidiTouch? What kind of software allows them to do it?

Really cool dock but a bit overkill to me, I believe... I still don't need all those features. I just want to have a reliable connection between my iPad and my dell notebook.

In my case is not a risk, it's a fact I'm loosing cue drops, FXs releases, led feedback, etc... I'm loosing about 5% of the messages, I believe...

01.08.2011		Anyone know about mapping multi fadders?? Ive always used singles but multi seems to look nicer with a sleek frame around it, how do I get it to send multiple values for the sample decks, I need 8 faders but how to I get 8 different values on the multi fader?
Irwin Ney
26.07.2011		This is the best way to learn man, keep it going and you will able to do your own interface the next time you try it

25.07.2011		If someone does dig in and converts it, do it on a different channel like 10 or 11 or something that way it won't interfere when switching between mappings.
Latesha Mayorga
24.07.2011		That's true, but osculator costs money, and adds one more program in the stack. I'd rather have touch OSC send midi straight to traktor.

12.07.2011		If anyone knows how to map it for coremidi, i'd be willing to give them an advertising incentive on my Music website that gets 3500+ visitors a day.

12.07.2011		The jogwheels, how do they work?

I'm not expecting scratchy scratchy, obviously, but I've tried rigging up a simple wheel for aligning tracks, but I just can't do it!
Tania Somppi
12.07.2011		Feedback on everything (sad as I am, I quite like the intricacies of mapping the outputs lol). I use multiple controllers with some functions duplicated so when I move a slider or activate something with my SCS3Ds or BCD2000 the iPad mapping updates to match.

I'm not noticing any latency or dropped messages.

The only problem I have is a known Traktor one, when selecting FX it sometimes slurs the audio.
Irwin Ney
12.07.2011		Do you use a midi feedback on faders?
This setup introduce a lot of latency from the moment you slide the fader to the moment the software send the position back to you?

I don't know of any way to make the iPad connect to the computer via the standard cable and show up as a MIDI device. They can both (through CoreMIDI) connect via the camera connection kit to hardware.

The problem is that the iPad isn't recognized as a MIDI device by the computer it's connected to. That's why all of these wireless solutions involve some sort of virtual MIDI port (either built into the app or an additional app). The virtual port gives applications a MIDI port to attach to.

Honestly, you could go with a camera connection kit and something like an M-Audio Uno and it would work, but you'd need a MIDI capable interface to plug into (like an Audio 8 DJ). I used that same setup for a long time before I did the IODock.

If you're really wanting to go MIDI crazy, there is also the iConnect MIDI, which adds a LOT more MIDI I/O, but doesn't have any audio.

11.07.2011		nem0, I'm experiencing some loss on midi notes send/recieved with touchosc and a ad-hoc wifi network created with connectify on a Windows 7 Dell Vostro laptop.
Do you know what I have to tweak to stop loosing those MIDI Notes?

11.07.2011		Just a heads up for the thread - I just got an email from Noel and a MIDI version of the mapping is being worked on now. Very nice!
Diogo Dj Dragão
11.07.2011		+1 for a MIDI version. I have the Alesis IODock now, and the idea of needing to rebuild the TouchOSC template to xmit MIDI instead of OSC makes me want to drop it alltogether and move to MIDI Touch.
Irwin Ney
11.07.2011		Why is that xonetacular?

With rptMidi it works like plug and play, and there is no translation into Osculator or Perfect Data...
Romelia Stankard
11.07.2011		If you make a coremidi version please don't stop putting out an osculator version. Osculator is quicker to setup, get running, and more reliable IMO.
Laurel Litchko
11.07.2011		I've been using this mapping at my last few gigs. Has gotten so e serious attention from crowd, other Djs, and the touring acts we've brought in. Thanks for the awesome mapping Noel!

I'm waiting on this version with CoreMidi

Congrats for this mapping.

And a question: can you send any MIDI function when switching pages?
I would love that feature.

I currently have a page for trackbrowsing and other for grid functions on my mapping and I would love to change the Traktor layout when I change a page, can it be done?

05.07.2011		Yeah well I'd rather chew glass than try to scratch on an iPad anyway sooo...
