Hi everyone, I’m using TouchOSC to drive Vst Live with a tablet connected Wired/WiFi to the PC. Everything works fine. I created a “control surface” that allows me, via MIDI messages, to change songs, change the parts of each song, start and stop song playback and much more.
However, I was unable (I don’t know if it’s possible) to activate a two-way communication model. For now TouchOSC sends midi messages to Vst Live but not the other way around.
It would also be great to have communication from VSt Live to TouchOSC to update on the tablet, for example, the volume levels when the song changes or when a part of the song changes.
Do you have suggestions?
Thank you in advance
Giorgio
I asked for a similar feature some month ago.
Hi @Giorgio_Pellegrini and @Falfango,
it’s on the roadmap. Just give us a bit …
Have some nice days,
Michael.
Think it‘s not implemented yet?
It’s a bigger task, but we haven’t forgotten about it.
? please hurry it is essential for me too

Actually it works, you have to set midi OUT in actions&shortcut. For each midi in action you can set corresponding midi out in the top line. I control channels sends , each band member his iem mixer in TouchOSC. The last missing thing to implement is a routine to force send midi out values for each configured action (auto at startup but also a manual button for when you connect after the project already loaded) so that external hardware (or software) can update fader /encoder positions etc.
@musicullum is working on that, already on the list

Can you explain better, ciro1983811, I would be grateful. My goal is, if I move a mixer fader in VST Live, it also moves on the tablet with TouchOSC in a bidirectional way as Cubase Pro already does.
Hi Francesco, sure
in actions and shortcuts, for each row you select and edit, you can set a corresponding midi out command in the upper out port row. changing selcted row will change the midi out row to the corresponding action.
Only problem is that when you load the project all outs should be updated to set external faders positions, that is the part that musicullum is working on.
Regards, Ciro.

thanks ciro1983811, you gave me a great help in understanding how to configure touchosc with vstlive, but unfortunately it still doesn’t work as I would like because if I duplicate a part in non-shared mode or vice versa by changing it it doesn’t display the same volume as the mixer on touchosc and this is a serious problem, and also I would like the mixer in vstlive to work the same way as Cubase so that when I touch touchosc if the vstlive volume is at 80% of its travel if I touch the slider in the touchosc in the bottom position it moves downwards not abruptly maybe it’s called relative or am I wrong if these two things will be inserted in vst live 2 it will be the perfect software for me anyway thanks. Do you know if version 3 of vst live has these things I mentioned above?
Developers are on it to continously update mixer status on external devices
Yes I hope to have soon the midi out state updated on project and songs load, really need this ….
Implemented with the latest version. Record and Monitor fix, as well as Mute/Solo coming next version.
