Duggle Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I've just got an Android tablet working with my DAW (Reaper) which has support for TouchOSC in the form of a layout called LogicPad. So I purchased TouchOSC for about $5 (what value!!!) and set it up with the LogicPad template. In Reaper I set up a control surface config for OSC selecting LogicPad support. Set appropriate IP and port numbers at each end. The result: fantastic! :frantics: A number of pages including full control over mixer, with full feedback and track name (labels exactly as they appear in the DAW). Other pages have full control over plugin parameters.etc,etc. This would appear as the closest to a really "out of the box" workable way for control surfaces to work, especially with DAW where there is so much flexibility, that static mappings don't cut it. Though great, I think in the long run tablets aren't the ideal control surface vehicle because of lack of tactile feel. You really have to be looking at the controls as you use them. So what I'm now very interested in is working with OSC with MIDIbox NG! I notice there is transfer_mode property of an OSC definition that is for TouchOSC. This seems to be a good place to start because I've seen how it can work with a DAW, and have one that does! I'm new to OSC and pretty clueless. Are there any use examples of OSC for MIDIbox NG (especially as I've outlined)? I've seen an OSC monitor by googling such as:http://www.kasperkamperman.com/blog/osc-datamonitor/ Is there a way of "inserting" a monitor to observe a 2-way interaction? (I'll have to experiment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Could it be that you haven't found this page yet: http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_osc.html :smile: MIOS Studio contains an OSC monitor as well. It also allows you to send OSC messages. But take care: it seems that I haven't reserved enough stack memory for the OSC thread. OSC messages are sent without issues, but once an once MBNG receives a matching event, the application will crash. I will fix this in the next release. > Is there a way of "inserting" a monitor to observe a 2-way interaction? (I'll have to experiment) I'm using the integrated UDP monitor of the MBNG app for this purpose. This monitor is described under http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_osc.html as well Best Regards, Thorsten.

TK. Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 This topic hasn't been forgotten: I've increased the OSC stack size, so that received OSC messages don't lead to a crash anymore. -> http://www.ucapps.de/mios32/midibox_ng_v1_027_pre6.zip A template for bidirectional transfers (for CC#16..CC#31) can now be found under touchosc/bidirectional_cc_via_osc.touchosc Best Regards, Thorsten.
