Dear friends of wireless communication everywhere! Today we are releasing new versions of TouchOSC and TouchOSC Bridge that are able to use a plain old USB cable connection between your iOS devices and your computer, be it Mac or Windows, to do their chatter!
It's been a while since the last post on this blog, apologies for the radio silence. As someone famous surely must have said once: Real life happens sometimes. Let's sum up some development that has happened in the meantime.
Yes, you read that right. Not only is good old TouchOSC getting a much needed update, but for the first time there's also a fully-featured Android version available today.
The fine folks over at Cockos just released version 4.20 of their wildly popular and very affordable DAW REAPER and it comes with full support for OSC control surfaces, including TouchOSC.
Today is the day that TouchOSC v1.7 is being released into the wild. So much has happened and months of work have gone into this release and I would sure like to go on and on about it, but I'll keep it short and sweet right now as I seriously have to go catch up on many many many hours of missed sleep.
Only a minor update, I think version 1.6.3 still warrants a blog post as it eliminates one of the biggest gripes people were having with TouchOSC: Transferring layouts from the editor to the device.
Friends of hand-held devices not sporting the omnipresent "i" prefix take note: TouchOSC for Android has been published on the Android Market! And it's free. Free as in beer.
