So I’ve been using TouchOSC for a few years now and in the summer of 2021 Hexler released the latest version Mk2.
I was so impressed by the original version, I had been using it daily for Reaper, Finale, and OBS. Although it was a little bit complicated to figure out, there was just enough information online for me to teach myself how to use it.
Fast forward to the summer of 2021 with Mk2 and some extra time on my hands due to the pandemic, I decided to upgrade. I found myself totally lost and had to teach myself what I could with the help of the manual. Learning any new software is a lot of work, but it took me many hours of banging my head on my desk and trying different methods to get Mk2 to work the way I wanted to.
So I decided to start a set of video guides for other users to ease their transition into Mk2. I had no idea that there would be such a large and positive response, so now here I am making more and more content about TouchOSC.

*This doesn’t mean that your device is connected to your DAW. This is just a connection between the desktop editor and the TouchOSC app. You need to connect your device to your DAW separately. Check out my videos below or on the channel to see how to connect specific DAWs.
