User Reviews

I have done a ton of research for software like this to run and program my VJ light show synced up through Ableton and Lightkey. If you want something free, ugly, and much more difficult to configure then check out TouchOSC. That app will do the job and work well but if you demand modern, polished and up-to-date user experiences then this is it. Setting up custom boards to control anything you want is a breeze in this app and as previously mentioned they’ve done a fantastic job on the user experience and the visual design. I’ve been using the free version for the past year to refine my approach to controlling my lights and now that I’m about to purchase this app I see that they have a new core edition which is much cheaper than the pro edition. Developers would you mind explaining in a little more detail what the difference in the versions is in the app description? Thanks for making a great app and also for implementing a price point that is more approachable for people like myself. For those reading this I highly recommend the app and I honestly don’t understand why it only has three stars as of the time of this writing. As I’ve said before I’ve scoured the App Store for every kind of app of this nature and if the description fits your bill then this is the app for you.

For what I do this is the only app that speaks all of the AV languages I need it to speak (midi, osc, http). On top of that it’s the only app that lets you send an osc command as a string instead of a float or integer. This means I can do a complete lighting and video install and then hand off one easy to use tool for a bar manager to use to make a complete show and be able to fire off bottle presos with out the aid of an av tech. This is especially useful right now while at techs aren’t allowed to run shows in Vegas. On top of that I’ve contacted the development team about adding features... and they did it...how often does that happen? I think a lot of hobbyist users will find the price to be a bit high. But from an install / large system integration standpoint.. doing a custom coded system would cost a lot more
