The d3c | a DJ-controller GUI

Introducing the d3c (- and first of all: what it is NOT)...

(The two-channel version of the d3c-v2.0)

Let's get the facts straight first: the d3c is NOT quite entirely a standalone (neither software- or hardware-based) MIDI (DJ-)controller!

"TL;DR - so cut to the chase: What is the d3c then...?" Read on, please...:

The d3c is a template made for - and to be run on - TouchOSC's (IMHO) excellent app for iOS and Android; TouchOSC enables a modular OSC and MIDI control surface for - in this case - iPads and Android-based tablets!

(The two-channnel "Heresy"-version of the d3c-v2.0)

Intended to control Ableton for DJ-usage and -purposes, this template's intention is to turn an iPad or Android-tablet into a DJ-mixer, launch-/stop- and mix clips in active scenes on Ableton (via MIDI), as if it was a regular, "vanilla" hardware-controller!

(The four-channel version of the d3c-v2.0)

Now - let's move on...

Getting started:

After purchasing the TouchOSC-app, you’ll then be needing the following pieces of free software listed below.

Android/iOS:

https://hexler.net/products/touchosc

Then scroll down to get hold of the required software to get the template(s) installed:

TouchOSC Editor
TouchOSC Bridge

Getting things setup and running:

https://hexler.net/docs/touchosc

Specifically in this case, regarding the templates:

• https://hexler.net/docs/touchosc-configuration-layout

Additional "How-tos":

Note to Android/Windows-users:

Admitted, almost every manual/how-to/tutorial out there for TouchOSC seems more iOS-centric, and manuals/how-tos/tutorials explicitly for TouchOSC for 'droids and/or running on Windows are somewhat lacking in numbers out on the internet!

However, setting up the TouchOSC on an Android-tablet is a breeze (as there isn't that much difference in this case between iOS and Android, apart from the slight differences of their GUI), and so is getting it to talk with Ableton running on Windows, IMHO!

Additional credits/shout-outs:

I'd (still) like to take the opportunity to say thanks a LOT to Dimitri Pike (http://www.wildtek.net/) for helping out, during the initial stages of the d3c's development!
