This was the first dj program I used. I love the interface with the two turntables and the simple waveform pattern for each channel. I original had it on the ipad which lead me to buy the IDJ PRO Controller. It was fantastic and one thing I especially loved was how there was a chaos type effects pad for each channel, unfortunately the only way you can do this with the mac version of djay is with the mouse over a small pad on the screen. Not very satisfying and very clumsy.
TouchOSC is a modular OSC and MIDI control surface for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad by hexler. It supports sending and receiving Open Sound Control and MIDI messages over Wi-Fi and CoreMIDI inter-app communication and compatible hardware. The application allows. Now my mac is connected to the IDJ Pro it renders the ipad useless, this is until I found out about Touch OSC, you can design you own button layout screen for the ipad and connect to various dj programs as a wifi midi controller. So I decided to utilise the ipad and reintroduce the effects pads back into djay using the ipad interface.

So I decided to utilise the ipad and reintroduce the effects pads back into djay using the ipad interface. Here I have a simple interface with two effects pads per channel, with previous and next effect buttons, also I have introduced the 6 sample buttons for quick use and a simple toggle switch for changing waveform zoom, this is my first attempt which I hope to improve and add to in the future. I you have any ideas post in the comments.
You need to download Touch OSC app for your iPad and Touch OSC Bridge, upload the dJay.touchosc file to you iPad, place the TouchOSC Bridge.djayMidiMapping file into the MIDI mappings folder in dJay/Music folder, connect Touch OSC app on iPad to mac, (settings in the iPad app) you should now be able to control some of the dJay functions with your iPad as well as your IDJ Pro Controller
Enjoy!

TouchOSC is a 3rd party utility that allows for control of MainStage, over wifi, from an iPhone or iPad.
This is the five pages of TouchOSC layouts we have created exclusively for IK PRO.
If you’ve used TouchOSC before, go to the “goodies” folder, double click on the intuitivekeys.touchosc template, and sync it to your iOS device!
If you’re unfamiliar with how TouchOSC works, there are four things you will need to get going:
- TouchOSC Bridge: This allows your iOS device to talk to your Mac which is actually running MainStage. Download and install Bridge first. You may also wish to have Bridge automatically start up when you reboot so you’re always at the ready. To do this, go to your “System Preferences”, “Users and Groups”, “Login Items” tab. Click the “+” and navigate to your apps director. Select the “TouchOSC Bridge” and you’re all set from here on out.
- TouchOSC Editor: This allows you to synchronize our intuitivekeys.touchosc template to your device. You could also choose to modify it for your purposes! TouchOSC Editor requires Java Runtime for Mac, so install that. Then download and install the editor.
- The TouchOSC app for your iOS device. It’s a one-time $5 purchase. Do it!
- The intuitivekeys.touchosc template, which is included in the “goodies” folder with your download! This file contains all the design work you see above. It must be synchronized from your Mac over to your iOS device via the Editor.
To synchronize over the intuitivekeys.touchosc template, or any future updates to your iOS device:
Touchosc For Mac
- Start up the Touch OSCEditor on your Mac.
- Click “Open” and navigate to the intuitivekeys.touchosc template in the goodies folder.
- In the TouchOSC editor, click the green down arrow “Sync” button. You should get the following pop-up:
- Go to you iOS device. Click the “Layout” button. Then click the “Add” button.
- Select your Mac from under “Found Hosts”.
- Select your new “intuitivekeys.touchosc” template and click “Done”!
