TouchOSC for iPhone

Introducing TouchOSC for iPhone

TouchOSC is a freshly rebuilt control-surface app from Hexler LLC for iPhone users, redesigned from the ground up with performance, practicality, and a cleaner workflow as priorities. It targets musicians, radio operators, and anyone who needs a flexible touch-based remote for MIDI and OSC control.

High-performance Layout Designer

• A GPU-accelerated visual editor provides snappy interaction and the precision needed to craft intricate control pages.
• The design tool supports live previewing so changes are visible immediately on connected devices while you refine layouts on a desktop.

Connectivity and Protocol Support

• OSC compatibility includes both UDP and TCP transport, giving you flexible network routing options.
• Full MIDI support spans wired and wireless links, including MIDI over USB, so hardware and software integrations are straightforward.
• Multiple simultaneous connections are supported, allowing the app to both send and receive large volumes of OSC and MIDI messages across several endpoints at once.

Multi-device Editing Workflow

• Multiple instances of the app on the same network can be linked for synchronized behavior and editing.
• You can use a computer’s mouse and keyboard for precise layout editing while instantly previewing results on all paired touch devices.

Customization and Automation

• A compact, fast scripting engine exposes deep control over the interface and behavior so you can implement complex interactive logic.
• For quick wiring and simple value displays, local messages let you connect controls without writing code.

Updates and Future Plans

TouchOSC is actively maintained by Hexler LLC; users can expect regular updates that expand features and polish usability. The developers have indicated further enhancements are planned in upcoming releases.

Alternatives

• spacedesk — a free multi-monitor solution that some users consider as an alternative for extending displays or mirroring control surfaces.
