Setup

TouchOSC

1. Install TouchOSC app on your mobile device (Android, iOS):
   https://hexler.net/products/touchosc#get

2. Sync Pianoteq layout to your mobile device:

   Note: This step is only required as long as the Pianoteq layout is not shipped directly with the TouchOSC app.

   • Install TouchOSC Editor:
     https://hexler.net/products/touchosc#resources

   • Download the actual Pianoteq TouchOSC layout:
     Pianoteq.touchosc

   • Open TouchOSC layout Pianoteq.touchosc with TouchOSC Editor.

   • Sync it to your mobile device doing the following (other methods available here):

     1. Connect your mobile device AND your computer to the SAME Wifi network.

     2. Click on Sync in the TouchOSC Editor:

        

     3. The dialog box relative to syncing should appear:

        

     4. Open the TouchOSC app on your mobile device (the following example shows iOS, but it should be equivalent on Android). The following screen should appear. Click on the proposed Layout:

        

     5. Click on the Add button:

        

     6. Click on your computer name that should appear under FOUND HOSTS. For many reasons, this can be cumbersome and the name of the computer may not appear. If unfortunately needed, try several times and/or reconnect to the wifi network:

        

     7. After a quick download/upload on your mobile device you should see Pianoteq in the list of available layouts. Click on it:

        

   Your mobile device is ready and can now communicate with your computer.

3. Download and launch TouchOSC Bridge on your computer to “pair” your mobile device to your computer. (If you want to use OSC directly or CoreMIDI as transfer protocol, see the setup process here).

   • Enable TouchOSC Bridge if it is not already the case and click on your computer name that should appear under FOUND HOSTS:
