So does TouchOSC simply make the iPad into a controller for reason etc, or can it be used just on the iPad on it's own? I'd actually buy an iPad tomorrow if I could use it to tap around on an mpc on the train to work every day...

[PeffTV]

@aarroninmyhouse yes, this app only makes the iPad a control surface. There are other apps that have MPC type functionality though.

Will this work with reason 4? I have followed all your steps on your website but cant seem to get reason to recognize input. and if your wondering "yes reason recognizes OSCulator but no sound, help!

Great stuff btw!

[PeffTV]

@Celiamhs Does OSCulator receive messages from TouchOSC?

[tokyojoe01]

Just one more REASON to buy an iPad. Very cool.

[JQuestionMarkH]

THIS DAM TOUCH OSC IS SO DAM HARD TO SETUP

WHY DO I HAVE TO KNOW NETWORKING AND PORTS AND SHIT.

IM LOOKING ALL OVER YOUTUBE FOR " HOW TO SETUP!!! NOT HOW TO USE HOW TO SET UP TOUCH OSC WITH REASON. THEN WHERE THE HELL DO YOU FIND READY TO GO TEMPLATES THATS USABLE I DONT FEEL LIKE CREATING MY OWN! IM NOT A PROGRAMER! I JUST WANT ACCESS TO ALREADY MADE TEMPLATES AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO SET IT UP

[Lightissoright]

Is this very easy to set up? I would love to people to use this! Here do you download the sounds from?

[betacoolsound]

@PeffTV

Some Problem here :(

Yes, OSCulator is receiving messages from the ipad: i move the fader on the ipad and there are scrolling number in the pd-extended window. But when i start reason6 and add a new device, reason cant find osc.... osc is always started before reason

running win7

[AORNOfficial]

@afoolinaction it's called innovation. try it some time.

[djkross123]

beyond awesome man. great job!

toys for little boys...

[RGBGamer]

can this video apply to Reason 5 on it's own, or do I have to use Record?

[nac3rules]

wow that looks pretty cool :O

[probbarn]

@Zkrudriverz Ofcourse real knobs will feel much better. But seriously, its $5 or something. Even if its fun for only an hour I think it will still be worth it. Its the price of a hot dog, atleast here where I live (Norway). How much hassle is it to set up with Reason ? I'm gonna try it out...

[torment3d]

@PeffTV I actually think that the ability to use your ipad as ANY kind of control, is what makes this software truly amazing. Need a drum pad? Set one up. Need a keyboard? No problem. Need a set of mixer controls - oh we can do that too! It beats the pants off keyboard/mouse control. It's brilliant.

[pilotdapunk]

amazing video man! keep it up!

[hustletv]

Sic work flow

[PeffTV]

@Zkrudriverz - I will have to agree with you on this - tactile control is still somewhat lost on the iPad, however the compromise is the ability to customize your layout. Something that you simply cannot do unless you build your own controller. With that said, the livid instrument stuff would be a way to go for either premade control surfaces or if you want to build something custom.
