TouchAble - complete controller for Ableton Live & IPAD

[Tarekith]

The new 1.3 update features sound sick!

[rabouille]

Hi! This looks like a very handy app to use with my iPad and Ableton Live. Just one quick (and rather newbie/dumb?) question: Will I be able to play and record MIDI from my Nord Electro keyboard connected with my computer through an Edirol UM-1EX interface at the same time as using TouchAble? I.e. can I start a recording of a MIDI track in Ableton with TouchAble and then play the notes on the Nord Electro? I'm not really familiar with how MIDI works, my concern is the potential that there will be some kind of interference between the two devices, but I hope they work parallel somehow?

Regards,
Johannes

Of course you can do it! Absolutely no problem
Even better, if you want to loop things on the fly, use the option "1 tap recording" (in the settings menu): specify a length using the global quantization menu, then every time you want to record midi or audio you just have to press 1 time, and the recording will stop by itself at the end of the length used. Great feature for drummers, guitarists, keyboard players..

Cool, then I'll buy it right away. Thanks!

What new version 1.3? Exciting!

I couldn't find anything on their site.

I wish they would start new threads - 47 pages is taking the piss and too much to scroll through. Also, if it was something new like a new version then it would not necessitate trawling through this thread every time someone adds to it...

Please touchable - new version deserves a new thread!

It should not take too long till the release.

Can someone tell me why my APC 40 won't light up or work when booting up Ableton while Touchable server is running? I did find a workaround (closing the program and opening again) but it kind of freaks me out.

Win7 + Ableton 8.2.2 here on a wi-fi network.

I have the same issue with the MPK Mini. Same solution but would like to know if this is going to be addressed.

[teknobryan]

[ddr400]
