[Hey!Cliché!]

can someone please give me a walk through on the set up of using Modul8 with OSCulator/TouchOSC in conjunction with the OSC module in Modul8? I understand how to map the TouchOSC to Modul8 using OSCulator, but I can not get the module to send TouchOSC any information back. Please and thank you.

Second to that!

We have been in touch with Rob who develops TouchOSC and we have one person on the team who works with it.

We are all pretty swamped at the moment but I'll have a look into this a
soon as I get a chance.

[Hey!Cliché!]

Oh, totally understandable, so no worries. There is a video on youtube of someone doing it, but its in German, and I live in Chicago, IL, and don't really care to learn German When you get the time, or if someone else knows how please step forward.

Will do.

Hi,

Although this tutorial is for setting up Abelton Live with TouchOSC,
I followed the instructions and it worked with Modul8.

Hope you get it working too.

This example uses a MIDI bridge (OSCulator) to convert received OSC to MIDI messages.

With TouchOSC and the TouchOSC editor, you could create your layout and assign it messages that will be understood by Modul8's "OSC (global)" module.

Excerpt from the OSC (global) module documentation :
"The address in the OSC message must be:
/md8key/[modul8 keword]/[layer Position]

The layer Position is a value from 1 to 10 or a special value, the special values are:
0 = selected layer
-1 = all layers

Example:
An OSC message that changes the alpha channel to 0.5 of the selected layer:
['md8key/ctrl_layer_alpha/0','f',0.5]

The same nomeclature will be used to send an OSC message to the target when the "feedback sender" is active on the Module."

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

To be honest I totally unfamiliar with OSC and the Editor...along witg everything midi.
I'll have a read and see if I can figure it out.


Cheers,
Marty

where can I find the the OSC module documentation?
I've been looking at the md8 documentation and can't find anything there.

found it! - in the module editor

I have been playing with this for a few weeks. What information are you looking for at this time?

On a MAc here is just some very basic info

OK, start with your own template in the OSC Editor.

The set-up is really simple as long as you realize what each program is doing. TouchOSC is the front end. You can make cool buttons and layouts with that. It "talks" to Osculator (another program) over your network (make sure you select it).

Go to TouchOSC and touch the button/slider/knob and it should show up in Osculator. You then select the midi type under the "Event Type" column and then you select a midi number (they must be unique) under the "value" column. Keep the channel at 1.

Then select midi in Modul8 and highlight the control you want to map, move over to TouchOSC on your iPad (or iPhone/iTouch) and touch it. That should map it.

Hope this helps.

I was after more in depth info. I started a template for touch osc using it directly without having to use osculator but I'm hitting limitations.

[vjjustinallen]

There are several other types of programs like Osculator but they are the necessary "translation" program needed. TouchOSC doesn't actually send midi commands.

[mowgli_uk]

You are completely missing the point of my post. I am NOT using midi. I am using OSC directly using the OSC Global module in md8. In that way I receive feedback on the touch osc interface and the template is plug and play with any modul8 without any bridging softwrae.
