Adding Dropdown Menu Module to your Template (Ultimate Guide to TouchOSC)

You can also uncheck "Bar" under the "Pager" panel to remove the top bar in the pager

Such a good series, Tim. Thank you!

[@TimCorpus]

Thanks so much for watching!

Hey Tim, you have no idea how much this has helped me to better my workflow as I've been only dreaming of.... This TouchOSC is incredible, even I dare to say, if you learn TouchOSC, you will not need any other Midi Controller besides a KeyBaord and pedals. . . . (And KeyBoard Maestro!!!, darn! this combination complete my setup) /// I recomend you Nob Control. My Motorized faders I left focused only controlling the Track settings (Cubase Quick Controlls), while the iPad is controlling almost everything in the DAW (Cubase Focused Quick Controlls mainly) from VSTs to Plugins and inserts, to Audio inputs, audio FX.... all with a Pager, and the Hiding/Showing groups with buttons. . . . I have encountered some bugs, I must say, when you have TouchOSC controlling the same parameters as motorized faders, or even LFOs, the TouchOSC is so dominant that the others malfunction and makes everyting unstable. . . . I believe it has to do with the disparity in the refreshing rates from software to hardware and back.... I believe TouchOSC needs a small buffer to aliviate this. (I would say that even a 20 or 30 microseconds could do it) Best! 👍

Thanks for watching! I'm glad all this has helped your work! You're right about latency stuff. I see it especially when using so many different types of connections. Wired has always worked best for me, but I imagine that as Mk2 progresses in its second year, they'll hopefully tackle that kind of stuff.

Hi, Ik your mainly music and sound based but would it be possible for you to do a Light key Touchosc setup video? This would be a great help bc there are no videos available on how do do this! Many thanks

[@TimCorpus]

Interesting idea! I do have a video coming out about working with Premiere Pro and I'm planning on one with OBS, so why not try this too! I'll see if I can find a Light key trial to work with as I don't currently have it on any of my computers.

[@deveyous6614]

can you replace the boxes in the drop-down with other modules such as faders whilst retaining the minimize function?

[@TimCorpus]

Do you mean in the pager? If so, yes, you can put in whatever you want there. As for the drop-down menu itself, you'd have to redesign it if you want it to look different.

[@deveyous6614]

@@TimCorpus ahh shame, was dreaming of having a drop-down with a load of horizontal faders haha. Go one step further and have a pager on each slot. One day.. haha

[@TimCorpus]

@@deveyous6614 it's definitely possible to do that, you just have to resize the drop down module that Felix made and then rearrange it to have faders in it.

Bro after I downloaded the file. And copy paste it, my tablet is not responding in the osc editor. The only thing that responds is the stuffs came from the editor itself. How can I fix this?

[@TimCorpus]

Not sure what would cause this. Here's my recommendation: 1. Reach out to the company about the glitch. 2. Do an uninstall/reinstall if it's behaving incorrectly. A template shouldn't effect the software itself. Usually when you open the mobile app, it should show the last few opened templates. You should be able to X out of it to close the template. You could also reach out to the template maker via GitHub.

Thanks for your videos! Good stuff! Hey, is it possible to use the dropdown menu list, select an item in the list which then would send an OSC message? Trying to use it to switch layer blend modes in Resolume but not sure if that is possible with this module. Thanks again!

[@MichaelAntesUNIQUESEQUENCE]

Looks like it can per the documentation, just not sure of the correct method

[@TimCorpus]

Sorry for the delay. Yes, Felix has a module in that template with an OSC message. Just add an OSC message to your dropdown and you should be able to send that signal when you select that menu item.

[@RichardFWDavis-yr2km]

Can you offer suggestions for resizing the menu in terms of width-height?

[@TimCorpus]

Hi, so first I'd advise taking the full grouped menu and adjusting the size to what you want - this will setup the canvas size when you double click inside. Now that you have the canvas set, double click in the menu and you should be able to adjust the sizes of the inside components to fit the new canvas. The scroll bar and the menu items are below the open canvas.

[@RichardFWDavis-yr2km]

@@TimCorpus I’d tried it that way - but what happens is that the first time I touch and select something, the top button returns to the previous height and the slider becomes inoperable. I was thinking there’s some kind of internal script that refers to its actual size.

[@TimCorpus]

Hm, sorry I'm not sure then. Best bet is to message Felix on the Github about resizing ability.
