@flat20, yea I noticed that when I read “layout” on the xml file. Awesome. Also is there a way to connect directly with the computer? There are a couple gigs Id love to use this at, but I know they dont have any wifi there. :’(

@mu0p If you edit the layout xml file you can have as many buttons as you like. Probably should make a nice editor for it though.

When I get my new phone I’ll fix some bugs and see what I can do about the buttons, but I’m not sure I would pay for this app myself so I feel a bit uneasy asking other people to pay for it

You should make a pay version where we can add more buttons. Id gladly pay $3.99 or something for that. The program works flawlessly I just need some more buttons!

@keats It’s not showing up in the market for you because the HTC Hero is running an outdated version of Android. You can download this special .apk file and install it on your phone.

You need to enable “Settings -> Applications -> Unknown Sources” for this to work.

Second what steve said. The app doesnt show up in the market for me. (HTC Hero)

Is anyone else having this problem? I was looking for this exact app all around the marketplace. Then I stumbled across it on the ableton forum and then when I search for it, it doesnt show up.

I wonder what other apps don’t show up in the marketplace.

Idea: make it compatible with the iPhone app: TouchOSC

This app also comes with a layout editor for Windows and Mac, so you can draw new controller layouts.

So close, yet so far away.

After much work, I got your program running with osculator, and I see all the incoming data but when I set up ableton preferences to input from osc it just wont detect any midi in. I tried remote on input too and other combinations to no avail. I’m thinking the problem then is either ableton or osc not working together well

Hello. First off I gotta say, great idea and from what I can tell, great app.

Now for my question. I’ve gotten everything to connect and it looks like everything is working on Linux but what I’d like to know is whether it’s possible to use FingerPlay to toggle the Jack transport. Also I have a friend who uses Sonar under windows and would like to be able to use FP as a remote trigger to start and stop recording and/or playback. Is this possible?

Thanks.

Best regards to Mathias Wilkman. You two are heroes! Its working on my Samsung Galaxy. Not exactly as I expected, but for me very useful. (Also the UserInterface is a bit faster)
I can recommend *****
