TouchOSC by Hexler Limited is a next-generation modular control surface application designed to transform any touchscreen device into a fully customizable MIDI and OSC controller. Currently offered in version 1.4.9.248, the software has evolved through three major iterations that progressively expanded its modular architecture, allowing musicians, lighting designers, visual artists, and live-performance technicians to build pixel-perfect interfaces tailored to their exact workflow. Users drag predefined or self-designed widgets—faders, rotary encoders, XY pads, push buttons, multi-toggles, range sliders, color pickers, LED grids, and even full VU meters—onto a canvas, assign MIDI notes, Control Change, Program Change, or OSC messages, and immediately transmit low-latency commands over Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or USB to DAWs such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Reaper, and Bitwig, to lighting desks like grandMA and ETC Eos, or to media servers including Resolume Arena and TouchDesigner. The software supports bi-directional communication, so motorized faders on screen follow external automation, RGB LEDs reflect incoming track colors, and encoder rings display parameter values without manual refresh. Templates can be scaled for phones, tablets, or multi-touch tables, and the same layout file runs identically on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, enabling a single performance setup to migrate from studio desktop to stage tablet without rework. Session management allows instant switching between mixer, synth, drum-machine, and lighting pages, while JavaScript-based scripting unlocks conditional logic, mathematical transforms, and sysex bursts for deep hardware integration. TouchOSC is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
