I am going to talk about the Multi-XY control. It's a very neat function to manually control Moving Heads and other fixtures who use X/Y movement such as scanners. It is basically a touchpad on your tablet. The advantage of the Multi-XY is that you can use up to 5 simultanious controls by touching with 1-5 fingers. I will only use and show one. The small disadvantage is that Midi only has 127 numbers against DMX 254, so movement is not so fine.
Open your TouchOSC editor and select your appropriate workspace. Rightclick in the workspace and select Multi-XY.
A square will appear. This is your touch surface. You can resize it by dragging the sides or by changing the Width and Height on the left. I have resized the square to 300 by 300.
Now we need to configure the midi. Don't forget we need to have 2 midi numbers, one for X and one for Y. As i reserved 1-20 for Faders I will configure the Multi-XY with 21-22. In the Midi Tab select enable besides Value x 1 and put 21 in the number. Then drop down to Value y 1, select enable and put 22 in the number.
Now we have configured the control in the TouchOSC Editor and it is time to move the layout to the tablet. Don't forget to save the layout first.
