Mobile applications such as hexler's TouchOSC offer a cheap and convenient alternative to traditional controller hardware for computer music programs. TouchOSC is available for Android and iOS devices and supports both OSC and MIDI, two widespread standards for transmitting control data between computer music applications. On the host side the TouchOSC MIDI Bridge is required for MIDI support, which unfortunately is proprietary software and only available for Mac and Windows systems. This paper presents pd-touchosc, a library of Pd externals which aims to bring most of the functionality of the TouchOSC MIDI Bridge to Linux.
