Ableton Forum

For all you early adopters out there: Ableton Live isn't 100% compatible with Lion yet! To use touchAble with Live on a Lion-Mac, please disable Multiprocessor support in Live's preferences, CPU-tab. You then can use touchAble and Live without problems on your Lion-Mac. Have fun with touchAble and L...

We're working on it Fanu - it's probably not going to be in the coming update though.

For Lion Users: Deactivate touchAble Clock Sync and you are good for now. However: XY Pad Automation will not work as usual.

We are working on the VST problem at the moment. A fix should be included in the coming update scheduled for early August. Another Heads up for all of you that are considering upgrading to Lion: from here: http://www.ableton.com/answers/mac-os-x-lion Known Issues We have found an issue that causes L...

Please send us a screenshot of your Lives MIDI/Sync preferences to support@touch-able.com .
We can't reproduce this laggish behavior yet unfortunately.
Cheers!

Why would you need to select the TouchableScript1 during a performance? Usually it should only lag for a short time once you start the script - and every time you launch ableton from this time on. Also it will cause some sluggish behavior once you connect an iPad to the set. This is due to the limit...

I have heard bad things about Touchable. there is one comment in the apple store and it says stay away! This guy did not update his Server application when updating touchAble to 1.2 (current version is 1.2.1, we're working on 1.3) so he encountered crashes. We contacted him and pointed him in the r...

I suppose he wanted to express his happyness that we can provide the same experience on either device ;-) Seriously though: during testing with the ipad2 it showed that it is capable of much higher performance than the first gen.. And as time passes apps will start to make use of this! If i had to c...

I tried it - and i consider it more of a gimmick than a real solution. The Screen itself is not able to determine the force of presses - not even on the iPad 2. Apple uses accelerometer data to do this. Try to tilt your iPad 2 and then hit a note - if i remember right it should almost always play at...

you should only have to activate the toggle in the "SYNC" Column for the MIDI output to the Nord arp.

omgomg south park is back :O

If you ask us - dont go for ipad 1. The 2nd revision is just so much faster and smoother. Even on existing apps like touchAble you can feel a performance increase!
If you are getting the ipad for making music: go for ipad2 - it will be worth it once developers start getting the bet out of it.

a Manual for the new XY pad is available here: http://www.touch-Able.com/Site/FILES/Manual-XY-PAD.pdf john: we are not just sitting here doing nothing while we let you wait. We are working as fast as we can - often through weekends - and still it can happen that we have to put our focus on different...

Hey jbone,

could you send me a screenshot of the touchAble Server & Live's preferences when it's setup correctly? - i'll then upload a tweaked version for loopBe as an alternative

Cheers,
Chris

We got ourselves an iPad 2 to test out version 1.2 on it - we were blown away by the speed. Cranked a few settings within touchAble that bring the iPad 1 to a screaming halt - the ipad 2 stayed fluent most of the time. You can expect a lot more drawing heavy apps to come - the 2nd gen is blazing fas...

Hey Slightlydelic: If ableton is running the app is trying to sync to it via the MIDI Clock. While ableton is stopped it relies on internal timers. It seems that the app does not get the clock signal from Live. Did you setup Lives preferences to match the screenshots provided here: http://touch-able...
