The touchoscbridge ROS node, which is composed of tabpage handlers. From hexler.net: TouchOSC is a modular OSC and MIDI control surface for iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad. It supports sending and receiving Open Sound Control messages over a Wi-Fi network using the UDP protocol. Great control surface software for working with MIDI Control Messages. There are setup and use instructions on their website that are easy to follow. Setup was simple using TouchOSC Bridge to handle MIDI over LAN. Note that I am using this as a CC control surface and am not using OSC back from my DAW (it does not support OSC).
This was the first dj program I used. I love the interface with the two turntables and the simple waveform pattern for each channel. I original had it on the ipad which lead me to buy the IDJ PRO Controller. It was fantastic and one thing I especially loved was how there was a chaos type effects pad for each channel, unfortunately the only way you can do this with the mac version of djay is with the mouse over a small pad on the screen. Not very satisfying and very clumsy.

Now my mac is connected to the IDJ Pro it renders the ipad useless, this is until I found out about Touch OSC, you can design you own button layout screen for the ipad and connect to various dj programs as a wifi midi controller.
So I decided to utilise the ipad and reintroduce the effects pads back into djay using the ipad interface. Here I have a simple interface with two effects pads per channel, with previous and next effect buttons, also I have introduced the 6 sample buttons for quick use and a simple toggle switch for changing waveform zoom, this is my first attempt which I hope to improve and add to in the future. I you have any ideas post in the comments.
You need to download Touch OSC app for your iPad and Touch OSC Bridge, upload the dJay.touchosc file to you iPad, place the TouchOSC Bridge.djayMidiMapping file into the MIDI mappings folder in dJay/Music folder, connect Touch OSC app on iPad to mac, (settings in the iPad app) you should now be able to control some of the dJay functions with your iPad as well as your IDJ Pro Controller
Enjoy!

If you’re on a Mac, TouchOSC its super easy to set up with an iOS device over USB as a MIDI controller. Sorry Windows users, I have nothing for you today.
Some day I will cover making custom layouts and control surfaces with TouchOSC but for now we’re just using it as a portable MIDI controller.
Over USB you’ll get a low latency MIDI input into your DAW.
While it’s technically possible to do this all over WIFI, I would not recommend it.
