Companion Controller for TouchDesigner – MFI Tools

“A .tox for Control Freaks”
Tested on TouchDesigner v2023.12230 — Windows & macOS — Tested on Companion 3.4.4 – 3.5.4

This tool uses Bitfocus Companion’s config files to generate a fully interactive controller inside TouchDesigner. It enables real-time, bi-directional control of all supported Companion modules (584+), giving developers deep control using HTTP triggers… nearly instantly.

What it can do:
– Natively control a video switcher. Ex: switch to a fallback computer/cameras.
– Fade or set volume levels on audio mixers for immersive installations.
– Send DMX cues to lighting consoles.
– Trigger batch scripts and keystrokes on remote computers via the Vicreo module.
– Automate complex macros with a single button press.

Key Features:
– Reference Protection: Automatically repairs all internal references when regenerating the controller.
– Companion Launch & Relaunch Automation: Launch Companion directly from TouchDesigner and automatically relaunch it if it crashes or is closed.
– Custom install paths supported.
– Flexible Customization: Choose how buttons are named, which pages are included, how they’re separated, and how references are handled (export, bind, or expression-based).
