Version 5 and higher on OSX and Windows.
In this tutorial we will connect TouchOSC to a computer running MXWendler Stage Designer.
We will be able to control the software via OSC protocol.
TouchOSC is an app available for IOS and Android devices and is fully adaptable to the user’s specific needs.
With this tutorial we offer a touch interface designed for a fast and intuitive use of our software but we obviously encourage the MXWendler users to change, improve, customize or even design their own template.
