Some quick questions:
1. I do not use MIDI Yoke. I use LoopBe. Is there a way to have touchAble Server remember my MIDI settings? Every time I relaunch, it resets them.
2. Is there a way to have touchAble Server run in Win 7's system tray?

Thanks

congratulations on making this app even more useful
however there is some room for serious improvements for certain users like me
customization
for example the only toggles i want are arm and que
i will never solo or mute a track in a live performance and i don't want to do that by accident
i will never arm more then one track at a time so i have to disarm a track if i am going to arm another
also i want to select a track when i arm it because i use lots of plugins and i have to edit those from the plugin gui to change presets for example
so currently i still have to select tracks using the mouse
making these changes are as big or bigger than any new feature you can come up with because live users are very particular about how they use it
there isn't one way to work with live so please allow us to use it the way we each prefer

keep up the ground breaking work!

Thanks for your feedback, next update will bring a special performance mode which will allow users to set up their personal environment with a set of options like you mentioned.

About arm button you can select that in the preferences menu within Live (record/warp/launch section)...

rabouille that is awesome!!!

i am really looking forward to that midi sequencer
i hope is very similar to cliip because those guys nailed that one

will the drum grid allow for customization too?

it's my desire to tune it to diatonic scales and make an 8x8 grid of 2nds and thirds
which allows for very easy chords and inversions

Great update ! Things keep getting better and better :D Best app available for the ipad by far.

I only have an issue with one tap recording. If I enable it in the config it doesn't have any effect. I still have to end recording manually. I do have global quantization enabled. Any tips ??

Btw very impressed with the performance boost. Touchable is running very, very smooth.

Keep up the good work !

Be sure you are using 8.2.2 to get everything working perfectly, especially one tap recording mode.

Hey Ratatouille, why don't you just get it over with. You know what I mean. Just build a standalone iOS app that mimics Live's Session view. Don't worry, the Abes are too distracted to even realize the potential of such a thing, let alone care. I know you have the expertise to do it... the world is your oyster. :D

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

Looks like Touchable is getting more and more refined and crazy at the same time.
