TouchOSC mapping / etc for MixVibes Cross
Anyone who happens to use MixVibes Cross might want a copy of this;

It was set up using OSCulator, TouchOSC, and MixVibes Cross (all on mac FYI)…I’ve included all the mapping files and some instructions that hopefully do the trick.
Cool man, this looks pretty cool. How do you use it, does it work via Wifi?
^^Yeah totally over Wifi…Typically I use teh “Create a network” on my mac so that I know my connection is reliable.
I was thinking about doing up a mapping for that interface for Traktor. Does anyone know if I make a mapping in Traktor 3 if it works across the newer versions? I haven’t updated in quite awhile.
I should elaborate a bit more…here’s how it works, in case you’ve never tried this stuff before.
You have 3 pieces to this equation. 1: Your DJ software. 2: TouchOSC controller. 3: OSCulator for transmitting signals from TouchOSC and sending them to Traktor.
Here’s an example on how it is configured. In TouchOSC I created a fader control called “fader1.” TouchOSC is also configured to send messages on port 8000. I opened OSCulator and configured it to receive messages on port 8000. Now that OSCulator is listening, I simply touch my “fader1” control and bingo - it shows up in my OSCulator window. In OSCulator I can tell this message to send a Midi signal (IE: if it were a toggle button, I could set it to send a midi toggle, or a midi note). Once I have done this for each control, I then go into the DJ software and do it again…this time when I touch controls on my screen…now my DJ software recognizes these midi signals (thanks to OSCulator) and I merrily start mapping them all.
Make sense?
