sqsl Tactile

MIDI CC controller for VCV Rack

sqsl Tactile is a multi-touch MIDI CC controller app designed to work with VCV Rack (MIDI CC-CV module) and Reaktor blocks.

Designed for iPad (works also on Mac computers with Apple silicon / Ventura minimum).

Available on App Store.

sqsl Tactile sends out 16 CC messages on MIDI channels 1 and 2:

• 16 values sent out on channel 1 result from the distance between detected touch positions and control points.

• 16 values sent out on channel 2 result from the angle between detected touch positions and control points.

Control points can be organized in different forms (FORM):

• randomly,

• in a line,

• in a circle,

• in an arc,

• in an S-shaped form.

A single gesture can be recorded (REC) and played back (PLAY) at a custom rate. Note: activating the REC button will only “arm“ the app; the actual recording starts only when some touch is detected.

The plane where control points are placed can be rotated (SPIN), and the rotation speed is adjustable.

Current touch points (resulting from physical interaction) can be held/frozen (HOLD).

sqsl Tactile is a standalone application designed for iPad but it will also work on Mac (excluding multi-touch capability). To toggle HOLD function on Mac press TAB key.
