Who can program a standalone app of Open Stage Control for iPhone / iPad?
It looks like this thing is the most flexible touch MIDI controller thing out there. But it needs a Python server daemon thing running at same time. The official dev told he won't make an iPad / iPhone standalone version. The question is if there is someone out there could program this Python server daemon thing for iOS/iPadOS.

If you actually need a daemon running on iOS, it isn't going to happen.
I took a look at the source for the app and I'm fairly confused about the architecture. There is some Python involved, but it is minimal and looks to be involved with how the work with MIDI. I only looked quickly, so I could be completely wrong.
I personally wouldn't have working on it because it's written in Node.js/Electron. I dislike Node in a general sense, but for performant interactive applications on an iPad? I can't see this as a wise path to take.
Are you looking for a MIDI controller that is configurable? Do you need the OSC control? What is it that you are looking to control?
I've been looking a bit recently at using the iPad as a controller for an embedded project I'm starting on, so I am interested in this sort of thing and I'm trying to figure out a good way to approach the problem myself. Right now, I'm leaning heavily towards working on a MIDI 2.0 based application.
Greetings @NeonSilicon !
The iPad should be the MIDI touch controller. I have a live loop setup and the iPad is the central unit.
Currently I'm running Liine Lemur and but more and more the new (at the moment closed) beta version of TouchOSC. Both working fine but both have its cons. Lemur is just outdated and got no new updates for +6 years. TouchOSC beta works pretty well but at this time it's not fully usable, some imho necessary functions, the manual and LUA scripting is still work in progress and not available.
The editor of Open Stage Control is not needed on iPad. It would be pain to edit the UI on iPad.
Only the MIDI controller itself should run and be usable on iPad.
(Working on the project file in laptop. Use the later the iPad only in live scenarios.)
OpenStageControl appears to run the user interface (the "client") in a browser. Did you notice the part under 'Requirements' that seems to indicate an iOS device could be used as the client:
In any case, I would try actually using this before deciding it's the most flexible touch midi thing out there. If you have a PC (Mac, Linux, or Windows) you can install and test it there, before deciding it might be a better option than TouchOSC. My two cents: it's probably not. Or, if it is quite "flexible", the software is otherwise lacking, buggy, and/or not well supported.
Regarding "touch" midi interface, I didn't look carefully but does this support actual touch at all? The client runs in a browser (I assume typically) on Windows, Mac, and Linux, none of which are usually touch interfaces.
@psyndrome ,
you could check MobMuPlat or PdParty to program in Pure Data a midi layout .
@Korakios - very interesting, thanks!
If you found any bugs you can always report them ...
The client does support touch on Windows (if you have a touchscreen)
And you can always use an ios/android device for remote control
