Device Details

This is pretty cool. Works great. The layout is a little cluttered (yet still functional) but I can't wait to see an iPad version of this! Should be very fun and useful.

Wow! Thanks for putting this together!

Really Nice! This was exactly what I was searching for. I've used TouchOSC with Osculator, but the possibilities in combination with max4live go much further.
I'm new to Max/MSP, but I will use your device to learn and customize my own Control. Maybe the interface can be somewhat cleaner. I will post a new version of it when I am ready with it. Thanks for the good work!

Wow, i got it working! My clips don't appear to launch so i don't know what i did wrong there but everything else responds.....

It's actually way to fully featured for me as i'm not going to use the iphone as a replacement controller for the APC40 but it makes an awesome x/y pad controller....

Any chance of posting a video tutorial or two on how you got everything going? This patch is inspirational!

Cheers

Love it!
Ma be one day, it can replace my Lemur,
but for this it need a good stepsequencer as well!
Great Work
thx Jannis

Wow cblomert, your device works really good!
and did you recognize you are faster then the Mutants they have no M4L
device released since now
thx again for this!
Jannis

RIP PureData. This is precisely what I'm looking for to get me started with M4L!

Thanks for sharing!

Rob

great work thank you!

unfortunately some things are not working (Live doesn't react to the input):
Panning
Device Control
Clip Launching

Here don't work the "stop all clips" button.

Hey guys, thanks for all your comments and your feedback :)

The newest update should fix most issues that were present in the old version, so to all the people that had problems: Feel free to try again! :-)

@S4racen: I'll make a video in the next few days and add the link to the description! You can also add more pages to the layout with X/Y pads for example and have Osculator or similiar software on windows listen to port 8003 to translate the OSC to midi messages.

@Jannis: a step sequencer is the next item on my to do list :D

@verstaerker: could you try the newest version?

@Rics: You have to press the "Shift" Button at the same time as the stop all button, to make sure people don't press it accidently while navigating the grid.
The Shift button also turns the S / C Buttons into stop buttons for that particular track.

If you have any kind of feedback / critics or feature wishes etc - feel free to contact me via email: christian@blomert.net - always appreciated :-)

Cheers
Chris

Thanks for the update Chris!
I rememebr that i've tried also with the shift woithout success.
By the way i'll try with this new updated!

Thanks Christian,
you're really getting somewhere with this app!
I Have compared the TouchControl 1.2.1 on an Iphone 3Gs and a 2 Gen Ipod touch.
Has anybody noticed this or is it my imagination or is the slightly more powerful 3Gs work more smoothly?

Actually the 3 Gs seems to work better with my
TouchOSC-Osculator-Live setup when I have parameters updating back to the Iphone.

-How about dedicated scene firing buttons on the Clip page?
I have become used to being able to fire a scene with one button push.
Seems important to me as Scene Firing is a big point for myself in making music with Live!

Thanks Christian,
AL

Brilliant!
But I can only get this to work using the default IP range 192.168.2.xxx
I had to reconfigure my Airport to this IP range.
My current network is set up to work on 192.168.178.xxx
I even tried to change the IP in the device and saving it as a preset and in Live.
No joy... :-( When recalled, it would always show the default IP.
Do I really need to reconfigure my whole network?
Great work!!!
Thanks

@virgo:
It should work with every kind of ip range:
The input fields are more like commands that you can send to the m4l device - the message is only sent once after hitting the "Start" button though and the input fields are reset on device-reload. Means: you have to put in your own ip everytime you load the device - and then press "Start" to have the device work with these values.

You could also hardcode your own ip values into the device with a small change:
Open m4l device, unfreeze, enter patching mode
Change the ip & port written in the input fields to your own, then change ip and port after "udpsend 192.168.2.10" and "udpreceive 8000" to match your own - save the device and reload it. You should now be able to just load the device, press start and have it working :-)

let me know how it worked out!

@ Al
Scenebuttons incoming, expect a mail tonight or tomorrow with some progress :-)

Cheers
Chris

Thanks for a great device!
But, I miss the drumpads. It would be great to have them back in a "dums edition"

Thanks,
Chrim

Hi, thanks for this. But I cannot make TouchOSC start (on iphone) because it demands numbers for incoming and outgoing ports and I cannot find these numbers anywhere on my mac (osx 10.5.8)

thanks

So I'm able to get this working but Ive got a major problem. All of the interaction is very jumpy. When I drag sliders they sort of go everywhere and are unstable to use. They rarely stay where i drag them when I let go, its almost like there is crazy interference. I've tried all kinds of ports thinking maybe something was messing with 8000 but they all seem to be very jumpy.

I've tried it on my iPhone and iPad and I get the same results on both.

When I route OSC through OSCulator and map it to midi I get perfectly smooth interaction and no jumpyness, any thoughts on what I might try to do to get this working? Looks like a ton of fun!

Hi everyone,
first of all: theres going to be a dedicated app for the ipad, can't tell an exact date - but it's on the way :)

@Chrim: pads will make a return, on ipad aswell as on iphone.

@tellef: look at the network.png provided, it should clear up the ports issues. only important part is that the ports on phone and m4l device match.

@helloworld77: That's because live reports values back to Touchcontrol , which it doesn't when using osculator. Each time you move the fader on touchcontrol a package is initiated to be sent to the computer with the new value - from there the valuechange gets recognized and sent back to the phone. So it goes 2-ways. It's made so that the device also shows changes you do in live.
if you have an unstable / bad wifi connection this can make the faders jumpy etc.
I'd try and use a direct AdHoc connection to your laptop (create new network on MacOSX) - let me know how that worked out :)

and now.. back to coding on the ipad version ;)

Best
Chris

Hey there,
Is there any way on this good earth to get some feedback from the looper plug-in? I would love to have its scrolling bars on my phone, so I can be away from the computer and know my looping status...
Thanks!

Dan

WOW, congrats, i'm waiting for the ipad version like a pretty easy girl:)
please share it soon;)

Got it running perfectly on the first time but after a new session I can't to bring it to work again.

Thx for sharing, please some advices,

tom

Ok, it seems to be the changing IP-Adresses in the Network. -.-

My new Problem is Massive and this Device. I only can assign one(first) Parameter.

Latency is a problem. Maybe to put out the Levelmeter on the Channels to save Bandwidth.

stay tuned,

tom

Live version 9.1.3b7
Max 6.17
win 7 32bit


Loading the touchcontrol.amxd file crashes Live every time for me. (A serious error...etc)

I have removed all other control surfaces and scripts to check conflicts but this still happens. Any ideas greatly appreciated.
