Yeah in theory you can. I havent been able to get it to work. But in the next update you will be able to midi by cable hook up ---

I’ve been using touch osc for a bit now, it’s a lot of fun but nit exactly plug and play…can’t wait for the software update to bring native midi support. ---

Ad Hoc is the easiest kind of network to set up, and everyone has decent guides on how to make it work. Not a problem. chrisw, you have a firewall or something keeping you locked out? ---
