KodeLife update with new basic examples

Hexler Heavy Industries — Tue, 23 May 2023 02:35:26 +0000

KodeLife real-time GPU shader editor update out now!

Second part of our major "under the hood" renovation, plus some much requested new starter projects for using audio, MIDI, game controller input and compute - to get you started with these features. More of these are in the works.

Happy Koding!

P.S.: KodeLife runs natively on the Valve SteamDeck - setup instructions (for TouchOSC only for now, but identical process really) up on the hexler website.

TouchOSC Font Viewer

Hexler Heavy Industries — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 01:45:36 +0000

TouchOSC MIDI & OSC control surface update out today!

We've added an in-app font viewer to browse and pick characters from the fonts that come included with the app.

Tons of letters, symbols and icons to choose from, plus full Japanese/Chinese/Korean support - pixel-perfect and exactly the same on ALL supported platforms!

KodeLife updated with 15 new demo shaders

Hexler Heavy Industries — Wed, 09 Nov 2022 02:46:40 +0000

We've updated KodeLife and added 15 awesome new demo shaders by the magnificent Jochen 'Virgill' Feldkötter!

These have been ported from Shadertoy to all supported APIs and shading languages, so there's Metal and HLSL versions included as well.

Of course there's other fixes and enhancements as well, for the full list of changes check the KodeLife · Releases page.

If you've had trouble on recent iOS with the cursor keys on external keyboards, consider it fixed!

Happy Koding!

TouchOSC support for Wacom multi-touch displays on macOS

Hexler Heavy Industries — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 01:51:54 +0000

There's a TouchOSC update out today that adds native support for Wacom multi-touch pen displays on macOS.

Wacom's Cintiq Pro 32/27/24/16 models are all supported.

Finally a way for macOS users to add a high quality and low latency multi-touch MIDI & OSC control surface to their systems.

We're going to be looking into adding more advanced features supported by these devices in the future.

For all changes in this update please check the TouchOSC · Releases page.

Happy Kontrolling!

P.S.: In case you're wondering about Windows support - Windows has built-in, native support for multi-touch, so these displays were always supported right out-of-the-box.

TouchOSC on the Steam Deck

Hexler Heavy Industries — Mon, 10 Oct 2022 01:11:12 +0000

TouchOSC, our modular MIDI & OSC controller application, is natively supported on the Steam Deck!

Here's our how-to to get it installed, up and running:
TouchOSC Manual · Setup · Steam Deck

Same goes for our other apps KodeLife and Protokol as well - the current Linux 64-bit versions run just fine and straight out of the box.

Expect some more Steam Deck shenanigans soon...
