Whether you are in the studio, on the road or live on stage – sometimes you wish to have the easy control over complex sound scenarios. Adding controller data, changing key switches, record automation data or just play around with the real-time performance options – these are just a few occasions where the additional control surface in TouchOSC comes in handy.

Our developers created the free new TouchOSC layout customized for Session Keys Upright focusing on complete wireless control of all key features from your mobile device. With this flexible app you can use your iPhone, iPad or Android device as a versatile performance interface while playing the chords and melodies on your keyboard simultaneously.

TouchOSC is a customizable open sound control (OSC) and MIDI control surface app for mobile devices. You can buy it in Apple‘s App Store and at Google Play. (Links)

Once you have set up ToucOSC and TouchOSC Bridge you‘ll then have the following screens on an iPad / Android tablet.

Pentamorph & Dynamics

Easy blending from the unplugged sound over the original samples and the currently chosen tonality up to the fully reversed sounds. In the lower section, you can control the dynamic range in dialing in the right amount of response and timbre.
