It can't be impossible, since I see it being done in a different DAW here:
I have that DAW too, but would rather use Reason if possible.
You can use your touch screen but Reason only supports one gesture at a time, so basically you can control any knob / slider etc with the touch screen, but you can't move two things or more at the same time with the touch screen.
One gesture is a serious limitation, but one gesture would still be better than zero, which is what I feared. Do you know where I could find documentation? Watching Junkie XL's video now, I'm learning for the first time of OSC, and this would be my first time using any controller at all besides my basic MIDI keyboard; so documentation is much needed here.
Yeah the one gesture should work with any software or website really, Facebook or any software will support the one gesture at a time. There won't be any documentation about this as far as I can tell but I have brought this up before and received official answers about the one touch gesture in Reason which was basically that it will work.BadMusic wrote: ↑29 Jun 2020One gesture is a serious limitation, but one gesture would still be better than zero, which is what I feared.

What about one two-dimensional controller? Several synth VSTi's I have support X-Y squares (not sure the technical term offhand).
Thanks for the good news.
I've had Reason since v7 (along with three other DAW's). I'm not an expert at Reason, but I've come to expect it to do very well the things it does, while not doing a number of things my others DAW can do. And when Reason does do something, its operation manual is the clearest and easiest to read of any DAW manual I've seen.Jagwah wrote: ↑29 Jun 2020Yeah the one gesture should work with any software or website really, Facebook or any software will support the one gesture at a time.

Yeah I have used an XY Pad in Reason before and it worked, it's still a one touch gesture though.
I haven't heard of OSC before, it looks complicated but as far as Reason is concerned everything is rock solid so just add it to your set up and you should be on your way.
Happy Reasoning!
I won't figure out how to do that in a million years. My desktop running Reason has never heard of my touchscreen laptop, and vice versa. My DAW isn't about to start responding to me touching my laptop unless I see documentation. Glad it works for you though.one gesture should work with any software or website really, Facebook or any software will support the one gesture at a time.

No. I already pointed out, my two computers have never heard of each other. No way will they figure out to how to communicate with each other until someone instructs me how to get them to communicate with each other. Please don't waste more of your time telling me this can work, unless you're going to tell me how to get it to work.
What documentation?? You just run Reason on a tablet PC (like Surface Pro, for example) or connect your desktop to touch screen. Windows and programs running in it work in touch out-of-the-box. In case of that video it's a special dedicated software layer that passes user-defined touch commands to Cubase, but ANY software can be operated by touch directly, at least on Windows. In case of Reason though it pretty much sucks ass - there's no multi-touch support and most things are way to small to be usable (often ever for mouse controle). It simply wasn't designed for touch, in contast to e.g. Bitwig Studio:
I think he is wanting to use the touchscreen on the laptop as a remote control for a non-touchscreen PC running Reason.antic604 wrote: ↑30 Jun 2020What documentation??

Ok, not exactly what you're after but how about this?BadMusic wrote: ↑30 Jun 2020What I want is (1) desktop computer running a DAW, plus (2) a second computer, a Windows 10 touchscreen laptop, acting as a remote control for the DAW, with an interface designed specifically for touchscreen, not a regular DAW interface with small buttons, small faders, etc. I already own both the computers, and normally when I DAW on my desktop, my laptop is just sitting nearby doing nothing and turned off.
Instead of doing what I want to do with my own laptop, what do you suggest I do with the laptop while I'm using a DAW on my desktop, so as to not be wasteful?

Firstly, you will not last here very long calling people names.
Nonsense. You exhibit total misunderstanding of how OSC works, and you misrepresent what's demonstrated in Junkie XL's video in the original post.
It's inferior to OSC.Remote Desktop has been around for ages, have you looked into that?
