I have a problem:
I am able to crate an ad-hoc network in windows xp and then to connect my pc to the ipod.
In touch osc, i select the ip of my pc and the 8000 out and 9000 in ports.
I open pure data and open the simple-midi.pd and then in touch osc i select the simple layout and selct “done”.

When i move a fader, in windows network monitor i can see incoming bytes to my computer, every time i move a fader,the recieved packages on the network monitor go up.

But when i open pure data, im unable to recieve any signal. the first OSC 8000 letters in the diagram appear red :S

whats going on? i disabled my firewall already and tried to manually open ports but still no luck :(

Jamie, I experienced similar problems when I first tried to use TouchOSC but it eventually worked for me. I don’t think there is any problem with TouchOSC. My whole life I have found networking things to be somewhat ephemeral even though I understand it intimately. My advice, keep trying, keep Googling. Sorry I don’t have a better answer for you. Good luck!

Hey there this is a great tutorial, really clear much appreciated.

I do have a problem that you may or may not be able to help me with. I have TouchOSC and I am trying to get it to control MAX/MSP. I have all the patches from Hexler and they run fine in Max. The problem I am facing is that my iPod (touch 2nd gen) won’t send messages to Max, I can control the faders and knobs from Max on the iPod but not from the iPod to Max. I followed everything you have here as a last chance, but still no luck. I’ve tried on a few wireless networks and the ad hoc one but the same issue constantly.

Any advice?
