What touchscreen is Hans Zimmer using here to control Cubase?

Fitz said:
So if I’m running MacOS but want a 24in screen, is running an android screen doable? I think iPad Pro is too small for what I like.

Doable, but it requires good research and has some potential problems in store. I cannot tell you, because I ended up going for an iPad Pro. Just search in google for something like "lemur android TV box" and you will find things ... things like this video, which proves it is possible:

It’s kindw baffling to me how there is no elegant solution. iPad Pro is anywhere from 500-1000, which is insane just for a controller. I’m worried that by investing in the android TV box, it’ll be buggy and I’ll never be able go get it to work with cubase well. I wish there was an easy way

27" seems...excessive. The ones Tom is using are I believe 21" and that seemed right. I myself had https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CTODKIO (this 21" Dell) and it was just right. Perfect size, though actually coming up with a contraption to get it to lay at the right angle was another story (but I was cheap and tried to use books, basically -- don't be like me).

You seem super knowledgeable about setting up touchscreens with Cubase. I was curious how I could use something like TouchOSC and get it to run on a windows touchscreen talking to my main Mac Rig. I would use an iPad, but honestly that’s just a little too small for what I want to do.

How do I setup a Windows touchscreen to run the software, but also talk to Cubase on a Mac rig? If you could help walk me through this, that would be fantastic. Can’t seem to find a solid answer anywhere for this. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBX1Q2T/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_tCeBCbX1TVD4Q (Was looking at this touchscreen.)

The reason you can't find a solid answer is because TouchOSC on Windows isn't a thing. It's Android or iOS. Same for Lemur. If you want to use Windows, you need to use something else, all of which will be more of a custom solution. If you dig through this thread, you'll see that I used Max/MSP to achieve something similar.

Yeah, just read your comment. My expertise in touchscreen workflows sort of limits me atm from setting up my own custom solution with MaxMSP. If you knew of a solid walkthrough online on how to get started setting that up, that would be rad
 
Would this be any good for a touchscreen & android box be good?

Unless you need touch operations for moving faders, controlling knobs, automation... and just need a touch screen purely for macro controls and key commands. Look at getting an Elgato Stream Deck.

I don't suppose anyone knows how to make the tap tempo button in Cubase? I for the love of me cant find one, unless Hans' just brings up the beat calculator menu? @Rctec

This is the template I used when Cubase arrangement
including Q.C controller, and VSTI (CSS CSB) control information module.

Friends, it's really easy and cheap to build a touchscreen. All you need is 3 elements.
For example:

1. RCA 43" Class 4K TV


$180



2. Xintai Touch 43 Inch 10 points IR Touch Screen overlay Panel frame without glass

$70



3. 24 in. x 36 in. x 0.125 in. Clear Glass

www.homedepot.com

24 in. x 36 in. x 0.093 in. Clear Glass 92436 - The Home Depot

Glass is the clear choice for many household projects such as tabletops, picture frames, shelving, and furniture surface protectors to name a few. Aside from being distortion-free, glass gives a more distinguished aesthetic look unlike polycarbonate which is prone to yellowing overtime by UV...

$15


First the screen, second the clear glass, third the ir touch frame.

PQ-labs-for-G5-IR-touch-screen.jpg_350x350.jpg

Total: ~ $265 w/o tax for a 4K 43" touchscreen [smaller sizes will be cheaper, like 32" 1080p touchscreen TV ~ $170]



About TouchOSC:


For windows use an Android Emulator like:

MEMU PLAY


Works fine for me. (Install, log in google account, install touchosc...)


Or you can use an Android TV Box like:

T9 Android 9.0 TV Box 4GB DDR3 RAM 32GB ROM RK3318 Bluetooth 4.0...

Amazon product ASIN B07GPCJSRR
$50

(But make sure [in description] that the IR overlay frame works on Android OS too)



About how to setup TouchOSC you can find some info here:










TouchOSC operates thru network. Client <> Server. On windows or mac you have to install "TouchOSC Bridge" and to have it running all the time when you want to use TouchOSC Client(s). In the client on android you need to put the computer IP adress where the TouchOSC Bridge is running where your DAW is running.


Tip: you can install TeamViewer to mix in your DAW from your touchscreen(s) (just use an ethernet connection for best results).

I’ll chime in to say that in my experience I’ve found working with a pen monitor like the Cintiq to be much more powerful and ergonomic than any touch surface, especially for things that require a lot of precision, like midi editing and automation curves. Our sausage fingers just aren’t a good tool for small movements and activating small controls. Plus, you’re always having to hover your hand off the touch display which is fatiguing. With a pen display, you can rest your hand on the display and the precision/speed is even better than a mouse.
 
Yamaha/Steinberg should just buy or license Liine and incorporate Lemur as a window editor right inside Cubase so we can have a 2nd ( or 3rd ) screen control the app right within it. Obviously you’d use a touchscreen. That would be fantastic.

imho, generic editor was never conceived for large scale controller layouts.

Oooh. I have a big old Huion screen lying around here. I hadn't really thought about using it ... interesting.
 
Why not to try something brand new?

SHERLOCK VST and WATSON VST are touchscreen controllers in a form of a VST plugin.
No need to learn coding, Mac and PC, every Cubase and Nuendo command already there ready to use plus much, much more custom commands, 16 CC faders, XY-Pads...etc.

You can check the free demo today (ver.1.4)!
Version 1.5 of both plugins is already days away and finally a real website will be online around Helloween!
YouTube videos, user forum and tutorials will also launch together with the new website.

Download the DEMO, read the PDF Manual and see how SHERLOCK and WATSON can enhace your workflow.
Feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

Cheers!
 
Hanns-G make a very good, robust and reliable 27inch touchscreen. Works well with Liine's Lemur (used by HZ and JXL, Trevor Morris and many others). I've had Liine Lemur running smoothly on a Hanns-G 27inch touchscreen and NVidia SHIELD for the last 2 years with no issues.

Interesting.
I have been thinking about incorporating iPad into my rig.
Have you tested with Catalina yet?

I have been wondering about using the new "Sidecar" feature but haven't investigated yet
