Make any VST plugin touchscreen-friendly with Open Stage Control! (Tutorial)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- I've shown some tiny PC / Raspberry PI hardware VST hosts on this channel in the past, which were powerful enough to run a lot of plugins at once, but were ultimately let down by the fiddly touch screen. In this video, I show how you can create your own touch-friendly user interface for any VST plugin setup with an open source software named Open Stage Control.

Some bands / artists I've been following for a long time are (among others) Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, Pet Shop Boys, Archive, A-Ha, Yes, Porcupine Tree, John Mellencamp, Jean-Michel Jarre, Metallica, Peter Gabriel and Perturbator. So my music will kind of sound like those (without ever reaching the greatness of those artists, of course). :-)

This was my solution too, I use it with VST convolution reverbs❤. It is much cheaper as any Hardware FX.
Thanks for watching! Yes, it's a flexible solution.
Very, very useful stuff. One could also connect a little MIDI controller to the RaspberryPi and have an even better hands-on control over plugins from a distance. Behringer x32 comes to mind, but there are also excellent DIY solutions to make a similar MIDI controller with many pots &or buttons &or faders, if you're inclined so. Personal fav: 16 pots, 8 faders, 8-16 buttons. Lovely channel, man.
Thank you very much! Yes, you can use this in many more ways than I showed here. E.g. DMX for lightshows, controlling machines, really anything that can go by with some knobs and sliders.
And now low-latency bluetooth MIDI makes it all wireless too
I'm on version 4 of my touchscreen modular system in Max. Since it literally just loads bpatchers as modules, it can do vst stuff (although I'm not quite there yet). Once I'm satisfied with it's stability and playability I'll probably release it as a package. Who knows when that'll be though lol
If you ever finish it, let me know! ;-)
Can You make a video using this mini PC with midiguitar2 and a VSTi?
In order to know if this setup could replace a pickup based device like Roland GR-55
Thank You I love your videos
Perhaps I'll do a couple of RUclips shorts trying some plugins my viewers suggested, or a live stream - once I'm done with my obligations ;)
Steinberg v stack is a great multi timbre tool for tracking with a hardware sequencer used it with my rs7000
Thanks! There are a handful of commercial options available, and this here is the best Open Source solution.
I remember using PD to do this once. It worked but didn't look nearly as good as this one.
Floyd I’ve now watched a couple of your videos and they are interesting. You just got a new subscriber.
Thank you very much!
Yeah, he got me subscribed when I saw this geeky stuff. Totally love it.
This is amazing. I ll explore it when i have some time.
Thank you so much for bringing it to our attention !
Thanks for watching!
you can build custom touch interfaces on android or ios with TOUCHOSC
This is true and Touch OSC is a great app. This one here is open source though and relies on web technologies, so it's easily expandable and adaptable by anyone who knows web coding (read: a lot of people)
@@mr_floydst well tosc also has scripting capabilities. I recently finished a prototype of my own groove box thing. And now I can use Ableton like a groove box.
Awesome! Thanks for the tips I'll be using that.
Also I love Synth1 and I love it being used as an example - so few people use it these days...
Thanks for watching! Synth1 is a great sounding synth, and it's great for learning the basics (and more!)
very interesting, thank you
Thank you for this simple and quick video❤ God bless you 😊🙏❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent! There are a couple performance patches for VCV Rack that rely on this, and I had a not gone to research the PC setup. Didn't have to! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Another great video Floyd. I've been trying out Steinberg VST live with my mini pc and 10" Touch screen and it's going pretty well!
You can't sidechain audio though so can't use vocoders. But apart from that it's been good so far.
Thanks! You could take a look at "Niall Moody's Pedalboard 2" or "Kushview Elements" for sidechaining setups. (I never tried myself, though)
@@mr_floydst oh wow! You're a fountain of knowledge! Will try them out. Thanks
is it possible to position the buttons on the screen to match the layout of dials on the vst, to make it easier to see what each one is for?
Yes, you can arrange and label them in any way you want.
Smooth video! Very happy you worked it all out!
Thanks again! :-)
love that synth1 is still alive!
We use it for Discord collabs quite frequently. It's a nice sounding synth and it's free.
kool
aid? ;-)
Why not just touchOsC?
TouchOSC is a commercial software. This is a free and open source alternative, they have very similar functionality
you probably can do this from a tablet and an app :-)
I know that Touch OSC exists, but this is Open Source, can easily be extended and customized using web technology, and it's not limited to Tablets. ;-)
I will give this a try on my unused elitepad 900 thanks for the video. Pity one could not use old android phones for the same purpose
Thanks for watching! Did you watch the second half of the video, too? ;-)
