Hey guys and gals,

I would love to create a page in TouchOSC that is just blank macro buttons, then label the macros in the console and have the labels appear in TouchOSC on my iPad.  That way, as I create new macros over the course of tech, I don't have to be constantly updating the labels on my laptop and shooting a new TouchOSC file to my iPad. Is that doable?

    It is doable. You need to set up a Direct Select Module in Touch OSC. I thing some of the example layouts have them. If not I do. You can make the DS be any number of buttons you want and have pages even. The DS buttons get their labels from the console.

    Gotcha.  So this is what I have so far:

    The button that toggles between direct selects is

         /eos/ds/1/cp/1

         /eos/ds/1/macro/1

         et cetera, et cetera

    The label is

         /eos/out/ds/1/1

         /eos/out/ds/1/2

       et cetera, et cetera

    The actual direct select button is

        /eos/ds/1/1

       /eos/ds/1/2

       et cetera, et cetera

    So when i have everything set like this, i can successfully toggle between the different direct selects on only my first button, with the label repopulating to the group, color palette, macro label.  but i can't get the rest of the page (which is a total of 35 buttons) to reconfigure.  so what am i doing wrong?

    here is the actual touchOSC file.  it's basically an amalgam of some layouts i've found online and it's a work in progress, so excuse anything that may look weird.  all the pertinent stuff is on the first page, labelled (for now) "macros".

    Thanks!

    Your DS setup buttons are the issue.
    /eos/ds/1/macro/20
    makes a virtual DS number 1 of macros with 20 buttons
    If you want color palettes
    /eos/ds/1/cp/20
    should work.
    Unfortunately TouchOSC sucks at copying buttons between layouts/pages so the DS20 page you have has lost all its appropriate osc information. I would suggest opening the original file you got that from and looking at the osc information for the buttons in that.
