TouchOSC Editor For Mac

TouchOSC is an iOS application that can run on iPhones, iPads or iPods touch and provides a solution for controlling CoreMIDI compatible software by using a modular interface and MIDI or Open Sound Control (OSC) messages.

TouchOSC is able to work with a wide collection of applications, such as Apple Logic Pro or Apple Logic Express, Max, Renoise, VDMX, Quartz Composer, REAPER, CoGe, OSCulator, and many others.

Moreover, TouchOSC Editor is a small macOS application running on the Java platform (which must be installed on your computer) that offers you the possibility to create your own layouts for the TouchOSC iOS application. This utility is extremely useful if you want to personalize your TouchOSC experience.

The TouchOSC Editor functionalities are packed in a single, clean, and very organized window. The main area is reserved for the layout preview, the left panel allows you to adjust details related to the page, layout size / orientation, or to the included controllers, while the top toolbar provides access to basic functions (new, open, save, save as, cut, copy, paste, delete, undo / redo, zoom, grid, and sync).

TouchOSC Editor comes with template layout sizes for iPhone / iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone 5, but you can also generate models of custom sizes by manually adjusting the panel size. You can change the orientation (horizontal / vertical) and add multiple pages to the same layout.

The next step is to add functions to your layout by navigating to the editing area and right clicking with your mouse: a contextual menu will provide a list of all supported buttons and graphic elements. To learn more about what you can do with the TouchOSC Editor, you can visit the online support area.

Last but not least, TouchOSC Editor offers you the possibility to save the project as a .touchosc project, but can also transfer it directly to your iOS device via the Layout Sync function.

If you are using the TouchOSC iOS app for controlling CoreMidi compatible applications, TouchOSC Editor is certainly a great tool to have around since the editor can be used to generate layouts that completely match your requirements.
