Success! I updated OSC Editor and re-synced Loupe template, then started from scratch with RTP/LoopMidi and everything works.

I did try Loopmidi before, no luck. The ipad is receiving messages from Reaktor, but Reaktor is not receiving (midi) from the ipad. OSC shows-up in the monitor however.

If you are brave enough to boot into windows let me know what you find.

Cheers,

Hi James,

You will also need to install a MIDI loopback driver like LoopMIDI to connect the network session to Reaktor.

You don't have to call it "network session 1" - you can call it something else.

Also, have you installed Bonjour? :-)

Sorry this is such a pain for Windows users. Try asking on the TouchOSC forum. If I have a chance this weekend I'll boot up my Windows laptop and try it myself.

Has anyone had any luck getting this working on Windows?

OSC monitor shows incoming signals from ipad
I have a red incoming activity light (below green outgoing) in TouchOSC

RTPMidi has no option for Network Session 1 Live routing, although it's hooked-up to my pad and On in Midi prefs

I can only trigger Loupe via computer keyboard. Midi keyboard is sending messages ok.

LoupeDirect sells loupes of the highest quality. We sell dental loupes and surgical loupes at reasonable prices.

A lot of re-engineering would have to happen on both sides for waveform display so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Mirage - yeah, I think that's due for an update soon. ;-)

As for the OSC / VST issue - I tend to do my building and sound design in standalone mode, and that's where the touch surface is most useful... as a plugin, mostly you want to play the slices and record the results rather than make new slice / note settings, or at least that's what I do. It's straightforward to map some of the "global" controls like position offset and position LFO to MIDI controllers for performance in a DAW, and the note triggering is MIDI either way.

I'm still pondering a MIDI TouchOSC template. The main problem is that with MIDI the loop position needs an additional fine tune control in order to get precise placement - 127 possible positions just doesn't cut it.

None of this would be an issue if NI would simply add OSC to the Reaktor plugin!

Hi Peter,

I've had some time to play with this and it's wonderful. The one thing I'd love to see is what you've already pointed out about seeing the waveform in touch osc. I think you did an excellent job and this just adds greatly to the value of Loupe. Are you planning the same for Mirage? Oh, and the other big one is using this as a VST and I've submitted my 2 cents about that as well.

thank you so much for doing this. super fun to just have at it!

I am curious how you record what you do without the VST option. If you have time to explain

Cheers
Paul

Glad it's working out for everyone -

quasimonastic, I'm interested in whatever ideas and comments or feature suggestions you might have. Sky's the limit. I might not be able to implement everything people ask for but there's no harm in asking, and you never know...

Thanks for updating Loupe! Works great with the template you made. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Peter,

I will bug them as that's just plain silly in todays market!! What kind of feedback would you like? I'd be happy to do that!

2011-05-11T16:17:10.181-04:00

Unfortunately the plugin version of Reaktor doesn't support OSC. There's no excuse for that and it drives me nuts. Please go bug them in the feature request section of the forum.

I plan to do an all-MIDI version of the layout shortly, using MIDI CCs back-and-forth. I'd like to get some user feedback on the OSC version first before I invest the work though.

2011-05-11T16:05:35.232-04:00

Hi Peter,

Will the touch OSC work with reaktor as a VST in Maschine or only with reaktor in stand alone?
