history
Project history and usage
TouchOSC Editor is Hexler's free desktop layout-authoring companion for TouchOSC Mk1, the original customizable OSC and MIDI touch-control application.
Project history
TouchOSC debuted in 2008 as a customizable touchscreen control surface for OSC and MIDI. TouchOSC Editor became the desktop authoring tool for creating and modifying its layouts on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
When Hexler launched the next-generation TouchOSC in 2021, it retained the original product as TouchOSC Mk1. The legacy editor remains part of that maintained ecosystem, although Hexler says Mk1 will receive no new features.
Adoption history
Hexler says TouchOSC Mk1 and its free Editor and Bridge tools are used daily by thousands of creators and makers in studios, live shows, clubs, workshops, and galleries.
How it is used
Users visually assemble pages and controls, assign OSC or MIDI behavior, and transfer the resulting layouts to TouchOSC Mk1 devices. It is primarily encountered in music-production, live-performance, installation, and creative-coding setups.
Why package nerds care
TouchOSC Editor is a recognizable example of a desktop companion tool packaged separately from its mobile application. It matters to package-manager users maintaining older audiovisual workflows because the editor remains necessary for authoring the legacy layout files used by TouchOSC Mk1.
Timeline
- 2008: The original TouchOSC debuted.
- 2021: The original product was renamed TouchOSC Mk1 after the next-generation TouchOSC launched.
