TouchOSC 'contact' data

[CinningBao]

Firstly, I was going to post this in the OSC forums but they seem to have been hacked? (all the related posts have been 'moved' (deleted) and only spam is posted..) - is any one any wiser than me on this? Is it a dead tool? Bloomin' well hope not!

Secondly, it isn't obvious in the interface software, but is it possible to capture the 'contact' data in the sense that either contact is made with the surface of the iPad (1) or isn't (0).

The 'push' button provides this in it's own small area, but to have it from the XY or faders would be rather useful.

Am I missing something obvious?

Also, what are you doing with TouchOSC and your electronic environment? I'm making fantasy foley machines with homemade FM/PD Bidule synths.. I'll move on to beats soon, but it seems a bit strange to have the 5x5 grids instead of 4x4..

edit-
I can't believe I missed the options to change the multi-toggle grids dimensions.. scratch that last paragraph

hullo? someone posted and then deleted, or was the post moved? I got a mail from this thread saying someone had added, but here I am, and it's just me?

And osculator.net? So silent..

Enable 'Send z messages' in the settings. This will send a message when you touch any control.

Thanks, though I think I tested that before and it only sends a message when contact is made, not on release, which is what I'm looking for..
