Right so i bought TouchOSC from the Ipod App store. Presumable someone can see where this is going.

What i'm trying to achieve is have TouchOSC running on the Ipod and controlling the mixer functions in FL Studio. Once i have FL Studio recognising the Ipod as a midi instrument, then everything will be just perfect because i know how to midi map within FL.

Unfortunately I CANT GET THE DAMN THING TO WORK. Im literally tearing out my hair here.

Can somebody PLEASE tell me how to get TouchOSC working with PD and MidiYoke or whatever the fuck i have to do to get this thing to work.

Ive been trying for DAYS to get it working but ive come up with nothing so far.

Please help me.

PS: Im gonna need some ridiculously detailed instructions cause im actually retarded when it comes to this kind of stuff.
Like, what are the incoming and outgoing port setting in TouchOSC?? Seriously wtf.

make your your firewalls are OFF

setup TouchOSC to send to the IP address that is computer. note the port number.

in pd create

[dumpOSC xxxx]
|
[print]

xxxx being the port number.

Now, when you do stuff on the ipod, hopefully messages should appear in the pd console. if it does, great, you are ready.

go to Help > Browser > Manual > Networking and explore the OSC stuff

read the help file for [noteout]

@arif- i'm having the same issues that OP has described. i have tried what you have suggested, but when you say "create", there's a lot of options, (i'm assuming it's under 'put' in pd). which one should i use?

it seems that my ipad just does not want to see that my computer is interfacing. i've tried over an ad-hoc network, and over my standard home wi-fi. either i'm really, REALLy fucking up, or this is just seems so damn difficult/discouraging. i would really love some detailed directions on how to set up Pure Data with ipad, on a WINDOWS OS. most of the tutorials deal with Macs, yet there's not much support on the PC side. i understand, PC sucks, but i'm working my way up to having a collection on MACs, so until then, i have what i have. please help, i'm getting extremely frustrated with this, and the one tutorial that people seem to have been referencing isn't online anymore (it was referenced a year or so ago).

thank you thank you thank you!

yes, sorry, i mean create an object by going to: put > object

in that box, type:

dumpOSC 8000

replace 8000 with the port number.

Then create another object. and in that box type:

print

click and drag from the bottom of the dumpOSC object into the top of the print object to connect the output of dumpOSC into the input of print.

Now look at your pd console (the pd window with all the text in it). it should 'print' text whenever you move stuff on the ipad. If nothing happens when you do stuff in touchOSC then you know the problem lies somewhere before pd in the chain of events. Make sure you definitely have the correct IP address. Perhaps your router's firewall settings or port forwarding settings need to be looked at. Maybe that port number is already being used by another application, if so, try another.

scroll down http://hexler.net/software/touchosc to the section labeled Pure Data, they have patches created that are touchOSC ready, but until you get the first step sorted these patches won't help.
