TouchAble - complete controller for Ableton Live & IPAD

[teknobryan]

do you think you can incorporate velocity sensitive keyboard and drum pad in a future update? Garageband for ipad2 has this and it's pretty cool.

We hope to release a manual for the XY pad during the weekend - till then you are on your own

This update makes TouchAble incredible!

There are 2 more things that would make this totally awesome for my workflow:
1. optional Pitch Bend module in keyboard
2. optional Modulation wheel in keyboard

But thanks for the AMAZING work.

Pitch bend/ modulation...you're not the only one, we'll try to find a way to include it.

Can we know how you would use them?

I actually really like playing the keys in Touchable. I didn't think that I would enjoy a touch screen keyboard, but it's actually quite fun and easy to play. So with that in mind, using it as a simple pitch bend and modulation wheel, associated with the instrument you are playing is all I'm thinking of. As long as it is on the same screen as the keys. I'm guessing 2 fairly narrow fader looking strips (with the pitch resetting to the centre). Most of my fav soft synths have modulation wheel setting I use a lot.

Great!

Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks! Much appreciated!

Just got an iPad.
Seems touchAble is the top app to control Live.
got simple questions : can you load fx and plug-ins directly from the app? Can you use 3rd party plug-ins or you can only set up ableton plug ins?

Is the app useful to work with on the arrangement view ? or is it mainly session view oriented?

Finally, how does it stand agains an APC?

Ha another question : what would be the touchAble app for Logic pro ?

Cheers

1/ Live API doesn' t allow this kind of things, but honestly, that would be fantastic
2/ TouchAble is fully compatible with live, maxforlive, vst and audiounits plug-ins
3/ As member of the product team, I'm not in a good position to say something about that, but a lot of users seem to like better touchAble than APC40, some others like the combination of both...
4/touchosc using the special logic template.

a Manual for the new XY pad is available here:

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 topics than we hoped we could do.

The Missing Manual, lol. You guys cranked out an awesome app!
btw- the stability over WiFi (on Win 7) has improved dramatically.

Hehe it's awesome to directly be able to talk to the developers!
Thanks a lot.

I know I asked a lot of question, and I think you missed one : how is touchAble regarding its use with the arrangement view. APC40 is not too useful for arrangement view for example (at least without the nativekontrol scripts). what about touchAble?
Cheers/merci

Communication with users help us a lot too! It's a lot of work in addition, but it deserves it.

About Arrangement: Live API (the communication protocol inside Live which talks to external controllers) doesn't allow to develop something for the arrangement view yet. Hopefully soon. But you are able to use some transport and mixer features within touchAble for the arrangement view.

Ok, thanks a lot, I'm seriously considering buying the app!
