Recently I received a question on my Youtube channel asking how TouchOSC actually connects to the radio. As you probably know, a conventional MIDI controller is generally a USB connected device and PowerSDR will find such devices automatically on the PowerSDR MIDI setup screen. TouchOSC is almost unique, I think, in that it connects to the PC over Wi-Fi. There is a driver application that needs to be installed on the PC called TouchOSC Bridge. The download link for TouchOSC Bridge can be found near the bottom of the main TouchOSC pages referenced above. Once the bridge driver is installed and the PC rebooted, running the TouchOSC Bridge application will allow your TouchOSC equipped tablet to find the PC, and applications such as PowerSDR to see the TouchOSC MIDI device.
The wireless aspect of TouchOSC makes it great fun to kick back in your easy chair and run the radio wirelessly. I've even gone so far as to use Chromecast to cast the PowerSDR display and audio to my living room TV and control the radio with TouchOSC on my Android tablet. A wireless microphone gets the audio back to the radio.
