Rather than learning it all from the documentation, I'd guess that you could probably pick things up quicker by also looking at some example projects done in TouchOSC with Lua. I don't know whether any exist yet, though. I haven't checked how the script files in TouchOSC are saved, but I'm hoping they're text files that can be synced, shared, and version-controlled using git and/or online services like github, which simplifies things a lot (another Mozaic irritation that it can't do this).
Yeah, some examples would be useful, as would the simple things you mention... there is a picture that has a 'steps' button which is at least inspiring
I think you're right about working in combination with Mozaic.
One project I've had on my mind but so far never gotten to doing was to integrate Mozaic with Pythonista using the MIDIFire OSC Bridge. The idea was you could send some message to a Pythonista script from Mozaic, have the difficult or speed-dependent processing done there, then have Pythonista send a "result" message back to Mozaic. Never got around to it, partly because Pythonista scripts can't be kept alive as audio-related, can't control when or whether they die in the background. This TouchOSC/Lua combo looks better in every way for that kind of thing. Of course, it was all kind of a solution in search of a problem, since I've so far not developed Mozaic scripts that needed this.
Does Mozaic support OSC?
No.
Thank you for the clarification
i have Mk1, it this update worth the $10? Seems super streamlined but I haven't gotten it yet.
Yes, especially if the number of us get behind it like the launch pad pro Mark three
I just got a Launchpad X so I hope I can make it work with it.
Check out the desktop version if you want to give it a test drive. There's a demo available if curious.
Do you have Midi Designer Pro 2 or Lemur. If so, and if you wouldn't be likely to use the scripting, then I don't see a reason, at least from my brief glance at it.
That opinion may change when I take it for a spin. Even though I don't need it, I'm positive I won't be able to resist. That's OK though, this guy has been supporting my original measly purchase for something like 10 years. He deserves the support even if I never make use of it.
I have both of those and did use them and then forgot about them and now I want to give it all another go. Good point you make him deserving support. I feel the same and did buy it today. I remembered how daunted I felt when I first try to learn to set up Lemur just to get it to connect. I'm holding out hopes that there may be a library of good templates people make. And I look forward to trying my hand at it to see if it's too far over my head.
Midi Designer Pro 2 seems pretty simple by comparison to touchOSC or Lemur to me.
Ah, so this is a new version rather than an update. I’ll check out the differences.
I am really hoping that @wim takes a serious liking to it and makes some amazing and invaluable Templates we didn’t know we needed…i wonder if an in scale randomized probability sequencer could be made with the scripting language?
Nah…that seems impossible..

I know the temptation of the impossible is a strong motivator for some people.
😬
I’m feeling unusually lazy about things like this right now. A lot of big life changes are surrounding me right now. I guess they’re taking up those extra brain cycles. 😬
Plus, My AU only leanings are as strong (and as illogical) as ever right now, sadly.
TouchOSC released ? Didnt this come out >10years ago?
Read the thread.
Ooops
The tinkerer in me wants this a lot but I am resisting because it will be another rabbit hole that it will take ages for me to get out of. Looks pretty powerful though and with the promise of more to come.
Old templates appear to load ok.
Primary use case for me is controlling desktop, but I'm sure I'll also use it on ipad - ipad for jamming with occasionally.
I would prefer to build on desktop but it looks like you have to buy the windows version now to do this..although I guess the old editor should also still work.
Honestly the built in editor is worth the price alone, so much more convenient! Exited to see what comes of the scripting too, it’s even got be reading up on Lua trying to wrap my head around the basics to see what’s possible.
Anyone here experienced with Lua?
Step 1:
On desktop go to Edit -> Editor Network (or just click on the WLAN-icon in the toolbar) -> Server -> Enabled (tick it on)
Step 2:
On iPad go to Editor Network -> Client - > Connect to your desktop
Step 3:
Profit
The desktop version has a nag screen when you open it but other than that it appears to work as an editor for the iPad app for me. Never used TouchOSC before this version, so maybe I’m missing something here.
Still on the fence about this one. It looks great but I was expecting a bit more from its scripting engine. I checked the manual and it does not seem possible to build sequencers with it. But it's ok, I think I was expecting too much
Anyway, new TouchOSC looks like a cool app for building interactive control surfaces
I am on the same page as wim - knowing I don't really need this new version, but I am so curious I will eventually end up buying it
Anyhow, even with previous version, I was secretly hoping for AU. I see the challenge with this: The ability to create your own UI with already pretty tough requirements on AUs to provide GUI that adjusts to any size of a container could be quite mind-blowing. But I can imagine it is either already somehow handled or there could be simply some acceptable limitations, e.g. some parts would be simply cut off unless you provide it some "standard" window size (most AU hosts with fixed AU container sizes use similar proportions anyway).
So still secretly hoping this will be the next step - having power of custom GUI and AU hosting would allow you to have MIDI scripts similar to Mozaic, just with tailor-made GUI that is I personally miss so much in Mozaic.
The description says: " we support every type of wired & wireless MIDI connection..." I guess that includes Bluetooth MIDI. Can anyone confirm?
just downloaded it! will start to tinker with it soon.
ok great thanks, will have a look at the desktop version.
I'm not a coder, but what makes you think that it can't do sequencers?
The app comes with a Pong game clone which makes me think it should be possible....
You can make it send periodic MIDI messages, based on system time, but that's about it
There are no MIDI clock events at all, internal or external
oh I see, It does say some things are still in development so maybe we'll see more abilities added...
