Touch osc

Touch osc

I’ve just bought myself the Asus Google nexus 7" 32gb with my Xmas money and downloaded the touch osc app. Can you use it it like a midi fighter with the mappings off here? Where is the best place to go so I k ow how to use this app along with traktor?

Cheers mate:slight_smile:

Wow, looks like complicated and involved haha, anyone done this on an android tablet yet?

Nah haven’t tried it yet cos I have an iPad and they have midi apps that just works so easily, but I’ve been meaning to try something on android - the thing that’s putting me off is there are no direct midi apps that are any good and with touchosc you can’t do custom templates on the droid version yet I don’t think.

Can you use the instant gratification mapping with it do you know?

TouchOSC on your Android - can’t do custom templates! The default DJ one is pretty good for basic stuff though.
TouchOSC on iOS - yes custom templates galore :slight_smile:

Yeah u can program touchosc to send the same midi messsages as a midifighter.

This guy’s hacked together a custom mapping for the android version of TouchOCS, and it works pretty well :slight_smile:. Also has instant grat too like you wanted.

Yeah, i did a search and came across that and it works a treat :slight_smile: thanks guys

The Beaubryte mapping works great (hats off), but Android’s lack of proper ad-hoc wifi support is driving me nuts. It’s all fun and games at home (i.e. with proper wifi router), but the 2 times I tried to use it live (i.e. with ad-hoc wifi) have been a complete mess.

Have you tried ad-hoc yet paulmac? The built-in ad-hoc functionality (i.e. true ad-hoc) of both OSX and Windows is supposed to be incompatible with Android, but there are applications that emulate a real wifi hotspot (like Virtual Router and Connectify on Windows, not sure about OSX). It looked like Connectify did the trick, but when using it for a couple of hours TouchOSC somehow kept losing connection with Traktor every couple of minutes, I suppose because of wifi connection problems. What’s worse, Connectify has completely screwed up my Wifi drivers several times , and the evening after installing it I’ve also had my first and only BSOD.

Apparently, ad-hoc isn’t as standardized as it should be, which is why Android doesn’t support it, but it’s a real pain. Connectify should do the trick, but seems to be unstable for me, and Virtual Router doesn’t work without an ethernet cable.
