iPad Remote for djay on Mac - 2026 Update

Here’s an updated controller for most functionality for the MACOS version of DJay Pro - see the screenshots below the post…

This works in Touch OSC by Hexler LLC - the paid version (not the MK1 app - I am unsure if it works in MK1, not tested)

You can download the latest version of the .tosc and the midi mapping file from Github at this link:

Note: The /scripts folder (and .gitignore) file are not required for using this, they are there for visibility purposes only

Currently working with:

  • TouchOSC v. 1.4.8
  • DJAY Pro - Mac OS - v. 5.6.1
  • Mac OS - Tahoe 26.2
  • Apple M5 - 24 gb ram

Welcome to the Community @Dj_Trimurtee

Thanks for the feedback @Dj_Trimurtee

There are a few things that I had to introduce as workarounds, for getting all of the color feedback to work properly, I think it turned out well.

if you run into any bugs or if you have any suggestions, please feel free to add them to the github issues section.

My pleasure, @Slak_Jaw thanks for the inspiration and sharing yours to begin with.

The only thing I couldn’t figure out is how to get the feedback for the pitch slider controls to work, it doesn’t seem to sync for me like the filter sliders do.

Any suggestions? Is that a product gap for the midi feedback for those controls in the djay software?

You’re welcome @TEEE. Maybe make sure you have MIDI Out enabled for the pitch fader MIDI commands.

Heya @Slak_Jaw , appreciate the motivation to look at this again.

The midi out was enabled, however there’s an enigmatic ‘blend’ option that I realize now was checked on the working filter sliders which made them feedback capable, where the other silders did not have that selected.

When I selected ‘blend’ for each: Voila, it worked!

I recorded a video for anyone else running into this issue, as it’s less than intuitive to discover the solution.

This is probably documented somewhere, but I’ve never been a good RTFM guy myself…

Here’s the video demo:

This is now updated in the source mapping in the Github repo - version 1.3

You’re welcome @TEEE. Glad you sorted it out.

Just updated the Github repo with the fixes shown in the video, and a persistent Crossfader (…so it doesn’t get hidden when the Library controls are visible) :slight_smile:

I can use this now as a standalone, but I also have been using this along with my DDJ-Flex2 and DDJ-XP2, as it gives me Touchpad FX which the others don’t have, and quick access to Library functions. I have those mapped elsewhere in the XP2, but the visible buttons are nice!
