  1. its only 9.99 for iphone. I just downloaded it based on what was said here and…. it works great, it uses this weird nintendo ds midi network protocol and you have to download a tiny background program. there is sometimes a slight lag but that is supposedly fixed if you use the built in midi network stuff in OSX (my ipod touch cannot connect to a midi network for some reason i think thats cuz its an older one) overall its got knobs, faders, x/y pads, drum pads, buttons and you can even have internal preset changes on the GUI you make which opens up the possibilities for some intricate control schemes! I would give it a strong 8

    1. Yes there definitely is. Touch OSC allows only one message per control. Midi Touch allows several (7 i believe) per control. For example, I send 6 program change messages with one button, and all my midi gear changes to the appropriate patch instantly. Plus I send one note message at the same time and my computer display changes to the correct screen. With Touch OSC this would require 7 different buttons.

      However, Touch OSC offers a computer based programming tool, and with Midi Touch you have to program it all on the phone, a little tedious for big projects.
