I've used TouchOsc to control Logic in the studio, through the free LogicTouch layout and it worked flawlessly! Today also Mobius supports OSC; I just read the Mobius manual and it explains well how to write the arguments for each button/fader in your OSC touch-device layout. I guess you have to type them into the layout but unfortunately all my layouts on my iPhone have disappeared, probably with some current iOS upgrade and I don't have time to redo it. For Mobius I was thinking that maybe I could use my old Airport Express as the access point (plugged into the MBP by Ethernet) and that way get a stronger WiFi network that won't suffer from radio waves etc and require no setup time at gigs. Then I was thinking about maybe using Osculator on the Mobius host lappy to be able to keep all existing MIDI bindings in Mobius. Setting all that up takes some time and when thinking about it I'm not sure it would be the best solution for me either. I mean; for concerts where you don't want to schlepp the full MIDI control pedalboard it can in fact be more fun for the audience to watch you slap a finger on a laptop key now and then, giving a more explicit picture of what you are doing than a touchscreen mounted on an instrument. Computer keys can be felt with tactile fingering so you wouldn't have to lose out on audience eye contact that much, which is a good point IMHO. But the optimal solution would be to have tactile buttons/faders controller mounted on the instrument to allow you to walk around freely while playing. Maybe IK Multimedia will expand its Bluetooth supporting product line in this direction?
