TouchOSC

TouchOSC MKII is the next evolution of Touch Based Controllers that works on multiple platforms with touch support. Since Lemur pretty much died in a dumpster fire of years of not being supported, Hexler came through with a great replacement that supports Lua Scripting!

Things you can do with TouchOSC

  • Build a Touch Interface with Midi Controller Integration
  • Emulate another midi controller
  • Make a game! Yes, its that powerful with the addition of Lua Scripting.
  • Control or read from any OSC Enabled device

I hope to elaborate on this page more. I want to provide snippets and a bunch of resources that will be useful for the to the TouchOSC community. For now check out some of my submissions to Patch Storage

Get the App

MacOS, iOS, Android, Linux & Windows. Touch OSC

Notes about the app

  • Editor is also the client. Meaning you can edit any TouchOSC Template on whatever device you are using.
  • Uses Lua Scripting. A high performance scripting language that allows you to make almost any Touch Interface you can dream of.
  • Its like modern LCARS.
