vimix TouchOSC Mk1 Layout

TouchOSC Mk1 is a powerful and configurable OSC client by https://hexler.net that can send and receive OSC messages from a tablet or a smartphone (Android or IOS). A dedicated layout is available to dialogues in real-time with a vimix program running on your computer.

The Mixing panel allows controlling the output and the alpha of up to 9 sources.

The Current source panel allows controlling the vimix source currently selected.

Tip: to synchronize TouchOSC with vimix (e.g. after loading a session), tap on the sync orange button in the lower-left corner.

Setup the vimix TouchOSC Layout

On your remote device (tablet or phone), go to the github repository of vimix and navigate to the vimix/rsc/osc/ directory and select the file vimix.mk1.touchosc. Download the file.

https://github.com/brunoherbelin/vimix/blob/master/rsc/osc/vimix.mk1.touchosc

Launch TouchOSC Mk1 on your remote device. On first launch it is not configured. Select a Layout.

Choose to Add from File and navigate to the folder containing your downloaded file.

Choose vimix.mk1.touchosc and validate in the list of layouts.

Now configure the OSC protocol: enter the IP of the Host machine (computer running vimix) and set the Ports. Defaults ports are 7000 (for sending to vimix) and 7001 (for receiving from vimix). You can change them in the Settings panel of vimix.

All good ! Done with the setup, ready to play with TouchOSC & vimix.
