Solving MIDI Connection Errors (Ultimate Guide to TouchOSC)

Sometimes computers suck and devices don't connect.
I recently rebuilt my computer and had to set up my iPad with TouchOSC from scratch. I ran into some problems because my PC wasn't seeing my mobile device - likely a driver error. So here are a number of different ways that you can solve connection errors with your MIDI devices including TouchOSC.

TouchOSC is a MIDI control surface for your old iPad, tablet, or phone to work with your DAW and other software. We are using the latest version of TouchOSC, Mk2. Hexler (hexler.net/touchosc) came out with the 2nd version (Mk 2) of TouchOSC in the summer of 2021.

I don't know if I understand it wrong: TouchOSC can run between two devices connected to different networks, when there is a data line connection between them, and the IP is stable

[@karlburmeister1552]

The bridge is also used for a usb wired connection.

[@ionut-liviuterlea4631]

You also need itunes or ipad drivers installed on your pc. Otherwise, it won't work :) struggled a while to find this out :D

[@Hoptronics]

Having everything up and running before opening your DAW is critical, as is having the Bridge running. Sometimes unchecking use USB and then rechecking it works.

I was very dissapointed after getting myself an Akai Mini Plus which works great with an old Iphone I have, but doesn't get detected by the old ipad 4th get I got it for, though the Ipad can detect another midi controller I have which is the Novation Launchkey MK2.

I’m trying to connect TouchOSC as a midi controller in Reaper, but when I enable it an error message appears (“Error opening MIDI devices”) and I’m unable to find a solution :(
