Anyone want an android OSC project?
Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2014 5:51 am
I just spent a few hours investigating controlling a synth through OSC on my android device. I was getting pretty excited about control: http://charlie-roberts.com/Control/
It sounds like exactly the right thing, powerful, customizable, extensible through scripting, etc.. The default layouts are a little buggy, but I can define my own with some scripting to even emulate a pitch wheel that returns to 0 when released.
Except I can't. As soon as I added my custom layout it seemed to bring out more bugs, I could no longer switch between layouts etc.
It is an open source project. I was really considering it but after looking a little at the source it only emphasizes to myself how little I know about android and java development in general. I haven't even gotten to start trying to connect it to anything yet, but until it gets cleaned up a bit I'm not going to worry about it. All of the "free" OSC apps in the android market haven't been updated for a few years, but this one is open so I had some more hope. It doesn't have to be abandonware...
I guess this is just a shout into the darkness hoping someone might be able to help. :\
