TouchOSC Mk1 4+

I’m very amateur so my use of this app is not very complex or mind blowing. I’ve been having fun with this app on my iPad controlling softsynths on my laptop that have fiddly interfaces. The place this app outshines hardware controllers in that you can have practically unlimited configurations — something you just need 3 pages of 16 faders. I recommend reading the TouchOSC documentation on the website, it was very easy for me to install TouchOSC bridge and TouchOSC editor on my Mac. You can wirelessly send templates to your iPad from your computer, I found this especially helpful when experimenting with different controller types - if I messed it up or decided to change something it was super easy to make the change in the editor and beam that over to the iPad instantaneously. The UI/Design of the app might be something that could be touched up in a future update. I hope to have fun this with my digitakt, maybe I’ll update this review to let you know how it goes. Thank you for this app, it performs a wide range of tasks in a very utilitarian way and for a very reasonable price.

This app is great for music production. Perfect for adjusting notes, articulation keyswitches and CCs in your favourite DAW via your iPad/iPhone. Takes a very logical approach to customising controls to your needs using the free OSC Editor. Very clear instructions on the Hexler website. Can easily be used for a mobile setup - just take your MacBook, iPad and some keys. Connects via USB or WiFi. Best solution I have found yet.

I am using it with lots of other apps such as Blender and Sonic, very easy and clear to setup. The interface is customisable via the TouchOSC editor, which is really cool. Great app!
