TouchOSC MIDI & OSC control surface update! We've added native multi-touch on Linux! FINALLY we have multi-touch support on ALL platforms: Win / Mac / Linux / iOS / Android 🎉 There's also the usual additions, fixes and maintenance, and the next update is already in the oven! See you again soon!

And just when you least expect it: TouchViZ professional VJ app for iPad update! 15 years(!!!) after initial release we've got a maintenance update to keep everything running smoothly on the latest iOS. While we were at it we've refreshed a couple of things and polished a little here and there.

KodeLife real-time GPU shader editor update out today! We've got a brand new video playback engine for all platforms (now also including Android!) and a ton of smaller fixes and improvements! Mandelbulb from 'Galvanize' by Jochen 'Virgill' Feldkoetter, one of the included demo projects.

TouchOSC MIDI & OSC control surface update! Mostly maintenance based on feedback from the new bug reporting system. Thank you all! Not done with everything but we're on it. Of course there's also sprinkles of improvements, QOL and other fixes! On to the next release! Happy Kontrolling!

Today's 'Compile time' reading: "The Making of Prince of Persia: Journals 1985-1993" by Jordan Mechner. Still remember seeing the unbelievable animation for the first time on the (now ancient) machine at home. Insights straight from the developer's notes. Essential!

Protokol free MIDI / OSC / GAMEPAD / ART-NET logger update! We're back from the beach 🏖️ and we've got a new MIDI back-end built for the future and better support for game controllers on iOS. Plus a TON of fixes we've been collecting for a while... More soon... Happy logging! hexler.net/protokol

KodeLife real-time GPU shader editor update out now! We've got some new settings for controlling audio reactivity, improved the interface on mobile platforms and fixed a bunch of problems, as per usual. Shader scene from the 'Galvanize' demo by Alcatraz, included in the app. Happy Koding!

TouchOSC MIDI & OSC control surface update out now! Today we've got something for the coders: 'Shared Scripts' to share common blocks of code between controls, making it easier to organize complex projects. If you're in the 'vibe' camp, we're looking into making that easier as well. More soon...

Hm. Not very long. Editors like shadertoy and Kodelife make it pretty trivial to get set up, and Claude can teach you whatever you need. Is the person you? Have they ever touched non-shader code in the extended C/C++ family? Rendering a julia/mandelbrot would take sub-5 minutes and like 15 LOC

Stuff I worked on yesterday (pic 1) and a old project that is janky af but works (pic2) based on the project from @andrewnorris.uk (pic3 is what is based on) software is touch osc and I used it for Traktor 4 Pro. And it's wip

TouchOSC MIDI & OSC control surface update out now! A collection of fixes and maintenance we'd like to push out before we add new features. A little something for everyone. Let us know how it is working for you - next release is already baking! Happy Kontrolling! hexler.net/touchosc

repost @roberthodgin on IG Controlling the lighting (gobo-style, GLSL fakery) via TouchOSC on my Android device. 60fps, featuring 256 images from the Met collection (forgiveness for the cropping, sacrilege) dynamically resizing and animating. #touchdesigner #infiniteframes

TouchOSC MIDI & OSC control surface update! Back from hibernation we've redesigned the way game controllers are handled to be much more intuitive, plus added a bunch of goodies to the log view. Expect many more updates big & small coming this year... Happy Kontrolling!
