Tips for Android midi controller?

[h0ch.grat]

Hi there,
I got a Mac for performing live and an Android Tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab).
I've tried Touch OSC, but you cannot export customized layouts from a Mac to an Android device - which is crucial to me.
Any advise for a midi controller + editor running on mac, being able to synch with android WITHOUT having to have coding skills?

THanks

Yeah, Android touchOSC doesn't support importing custom layouts.

There's dawOSC, but the editor is only for windows:

There's Control, but there is no editor, the interfaces are written in JSON:

Also saw this, OSCpad: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... mod.oscpad. Never used it though. I guess templates are currently made in JSON as well and there's an alpha feature to load touchOSC templates. Sounds promising but work in progress.

If you have access to a windows computer (or Linux with Wine or a dual boot) I highly recommend dawOSC for it's simplicity and flexibility. Other than that, you're pretty much SOL on android for custom interfaces AFAIK.

Hi,

I don't know what kind of layout do you need but LIVKONTROL now exists for Android as well:

LIVKONTROL connects with Ableton Live 8 or 9 and mirrors your scene to the device. You can control all your tracks volume, pan, arm, mute, control song transport, have full view of your scene clips and trigger them from your device. It also features 8 midi sliders for custom device parameter mapping. You can easily toggle between function screens using a two finger swipe. It's really easy to setup and use. It works with Android >=4.0.
