I’ve uploaded another video, this time with ADDED COMMENTARY!!!
Apologies for the mistakes and double takes, the occasional blank screen and mis-speaking (and not showing me linking the Gain volume control to the Mod itself, done to avoid problems if the computer hangs!) It’s basic, it uses buttons, knobs and faders, shows labelling and colouring and, most importantly, how to make it work with a Dwarf and @Austin73 it uses Pager! The new video is here: - YouTube PS - for those using Android, a two finger tap works instead of a right click. PPS sorry for the near 20 minutes that this takes!

Thats brilliant . Really made a difference.
The reason I didnt get pager is on the old editor you just add another page !
To be honest Im not loving the new version as much as I thought and seem to be still making the control surfaces in the old editor and vjazzling them in the new editor.
I think moving forward we might need to create a page for TouchOSC based shenanigans - so we can get the ball rolling. If we get more users on board we might even get the DWARF sending back MIDI Cc so it syncs up with changes.
I do like the way you designed your pages - cool fun idea compared to my stuff.
Just need my dam Dwarf to turn up and I can jump in and take some weight off you.
Really appreciate your time. If you get chance drop me a mail as I might be able to share some other layouts etc

Ah, I never used the old editor, I just starting on the new one having seen your earlier conversations with the MOD team! I agree, a page for touch OSC stuff would be good. If we get 2 way communication going that would be great - it would mean not having to reset each control by hand! So, MOD team, can we have a TouchOSC category please? If we’re really careful with it!

I’m happy to set up a shard Onedrive directory as a store place for TouchOSC controll surfaces that folk want to share, but that would be dependant on me keeping my subscription going. Is there any way that MOD could set up an online directory for shares of TouchOSC control surfaces (that could link to pedalboards)? It could be accessed from the TouchOSC area of the forum that would be a nice thing to have!
As a stopgap I’ve set up a Google Drive folder that can be used to store TouchOSC controls - anyone with this link can use it - TouchOSC controls for MOD - Google Drive

I’ve just thrown a couple of examples into the directory that I mentioned above TouchOSC controls for MOD - Google Drive where I’ve put two example TouchOSC controls, one for a 4 way looper I put together, here’s the pedalboard OSC 4 way looper - Shaggy - MOD Devices
and one for the example that I demonstrated earlier - here’s that pedalboard OSC Demo - Shaggy - MOD Devices
I suppose that I should set up a new thread for this somewhere, which would be an appropriate forum?

Simon - just checked out your youtube video. Looks really good! I’m still locked in - thank you delta variant (Kansas City, MISSOURI NOT Kansas - there is only one Kansas City but it’s just too much for one state to handle).
Confined as I am, I’m having much time to tackle several tasks here. “The Midi Manual, 3rd edition”, is on it’s way. I’m going to get deeper into this stuff than I really wanted to, but it’ll be well worth all the effort.

Sorry about your confinement, that Delta variant is a bugger! I’d be interested to hear whether the Midi Manual is worth the money! Hope you’re not stuck in for too long, and that you can learn as much as you need about the wonders of MIDI
I’m used to being confined by now. Just wish the anti-vaxxers would wake up before they kill everybody. Terrible thing to think. let alone say, but maybe they’ll just kill themselves off.
I’m sure I’ll get it figured out. Worst case scenario I’ll just go back to my pre-covid rig with the duo and a wah. In the meantime I’m just trying to get my chops and knowledge of tunes back up to where it was!

I am going to put a post onto the pedalboard category listing the pedalboards and explaining them as well as links to the videos, TouchOSC, and the TouchOSC control surfaces directory. That is here: Pedalboards and TouchOSC

Is it possible to connect andoid tablet running TouchOSC to Dwarf at all?

If you can attach a cable that will give midi commands to a USB-B then I guess so - I’ve never tried it.

yes it does. You need at least android Version 9. Other than that just select midi mode when connecting via usb.
This worked for me with a Moto z3.

Does TouchOSC automatically find mod or do I need to enter usb In the bridge section ?

you need to select the usb-port in connections setting in touchOSC (keychain).

Seems my android tablet doesn’t support midi over usb - trying to get hold of a different tab to test.

I got hold of an older tablet that supports usb midi - I had dwarf connected to windows computer with usb-B. Plugged into tablet into usb-a
On the tablet I had to set usb mode to midi but nothing else was changed.
I ran arp -a to check ip from windows.
In the bridge section of the touch osc app on android I had to enter the dwarf ip 192.168.51.1 into the bridge section. Note the browse button had no effect.
Then on the midi page I was able to hit browse and saw usb device - selected that and bingo.
I only added a button in touch osc but was able to midi learn from pedal as per video from @shaggydog that was a huge help along with this thread.
So lesson here is not all android tablets support midi over usb.
This could be a game changer - now need to try and buy this tablet my mate lent me - fusion5
Also need to figure out how to use tablet and charge it.

Quck update - it was bit of nightmare having to resarch android tablets as most don’t support usb-midi. I got hold of win11 tablet - only spent 1/2 hour on this but I got Touch OSC working using USB-B connection to dwarf.
Windows tablet is not great for designing midi layout via touch so I will explore keyboard/mouse. Thankfully the power comes in via a seperate socket.

Maybe something like this would help those that don’t have a separate charge port
Not tried it though and not sure it would work OTG but something to explore
