Just uploaded this for a few friends. Added intro/outro and turned the short silence during the hook into a little build-up using a short loop and reverb.

If you are like most people, you were a little disappointed with the features – or a lack thereof – with the new iPad that was released earlier this month. I felt the same way, and didn’t give any serious consideration to buying it. However, once I realized the potential of using the iPad as a touch-screen MIDI controller, I decided to try one out. So I picked one out about 3 weeks ago and within 3 days I had an app called ‘TouchOSC’ running as my main MIDI controller for Scratch Live. Here are the screen shots of 3 pages I’m using:

First image includes 5 cue points, 5 auto-loops, 2 loop-rolls, a ‘jump-to-loop’, instant double, and load button for each side. The middle includes library browsing and a button to add track selections to your prepare list. I picked these features and design to fit my needs. Its safe to say this will be different from one person to the next, because we all have our unique preferences for features within Scratch Live.

The second image includes options to control any 6 audio effects available in Scratch Live. Everything here is pretty self-explanatory. On a some-what unrelated note, the audio effects are synced with the effects in VSL in 2.0! Pretty awesome.

Similar to the image above this, I assigned the controls on the 3rd page to select video effects and transitions. I also assigned the faders for video control.

Here’s a brief video of me using the iPad to control Scratch Live:

Here’s a brief tutorial about how to set-up this up on your iPad – or iPhone/iPod Touch if you choose:

1. Download an application called ‘TouchOSC’ on your device. ($4.99)

2. Download the TouchOSC Editor – touchosc-editor-1.2-osx.zip

3. Download my template for TouchOSC (for the iPad only) – http://iknowhardy.com/Share/DJHARDY-SERATO.touchosc

4. Open that template in TouchOSC Editor, and sync it to your iPad. To do this:

-Select the ‘Sync’ button in TouchOSC Editor

-Open TouchOSC and go to the Layout menu

-Under Add, you will see TouchOSC Editor listed as a host.

-Select this and and your new layout will be available in TouchOSC

5. Download an application called Osculator on your computer: http://www.osculator.net/download/

This is the app that converts the signal sent by TouchOSC (Open Sound Control) into a MIDI signal. Keep in mind that Osculator is shareware, but unless you donate the minimum of $19 (I suggest the full $39), you will get a pop-up message every few minutes asking you to donate and when this happens, there is no signal being sent to Scratch LIve. So…make sure you donate at least $19 and you will get an activation code.

6. Use my template for Osculator to save yourself some trouble: Serato-DJHARDY (Right-click, save to your desktop  and open the file in Osculator). You will need to have this file open every time for Serato to recognize commands from your iPad.

7. Open Scratch Live and make a new MIDI template. Assign these controls as you would with any MIDI controller.

If you have any questions, please post in the comments section below so the answers will be visible to anyone else with the same questions.

And on a barely related note, here’s a little video about ‘ToneTable’, an application for iPhone/iPod Touch being developed by Inklen. It will be available for the iPad in the near future!
