TouchOSC native Linux touch support arrives; demo on SteamDeck

Hexler has done it. Every single platform of this multi-touch MIDI and OSC control app now has native multi-touch support: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and now Linux. And what better way to show it off than on a SteamDeck?

You can already use the Steam Deck as a music machine, with Bitwig Studio, VCV Rack, more

It’s a portable gaming machine – but unlike other such devices, the Steam Deck is also an open, handheld, Linux-powered computer. And you know what that means: it’s a synth and a DAW, too.
