Ethernet. I can connect it with cable to the net yes. The ethernet/tv i/o box is connected to an Apple Airport. I use only the laptop and iphone on the net. Studio desktop is not connected, for security reasons. But I guess its ok just for this.

If your studio desktop is connected to the Apple Airport by ethernet, and your iPad is connected to the Apple Aiport by Wi-Fi, then yes, you could use Griid & Kapture like that.

Hi everybody!

We've been very busy here at Liine, and we're now very proud to announce the Miixer module for Griid Pro: Any fader on any track in any combination. The update also includes lots of little tweaks and features requested by users. Go update your app on iTunes and download the new installer from http://liine.net

iPad 2 support is coming VERY soon for both Griid and Griid Pro.
In App purchases in Griid (for Miixer/Cliip) also coming very soon.

Full list of features in this update:

New Miixer module
- Control volumes, pans and sends
- Allows mixed fader types in same panel
- Panel and track-based fader selection
- Direct and relative fader modes
- 0db lock
- Precision fader mechanism in relative mode

Clip grid enhancements
- Large font mode
- Enable/disable scene launching
- Dedicated safe space for scrolling in the scene area
- BPM scene names highlighting

Cliip module enhancements
- iPhone/iPod support
- Hide/show velocity panel with toggle
- Note names shown on all white keys
- Various bugfixes related to adding/deleting notes

that's great news! now all that's missing is control over EQ8 and I could do a whole soundcheck directly from the dancefloor!

Looks great!

@MacGuffin: You can use air display for that: http://avatron.com/
Have a go on the floor with FabFilter Pro-Q

Something a little bit different this time guys.

We've very excited to announce that Ableton have featured the updated version of our Kapture Max for Live device in their huge Max for Live update. Some incredible patches by Robert Henke, Henrik Schwarz, Alexkid and others too.

Watch the video feature and download Kapture 2.0 here: http://www.ableton.com/pages/max_for_live/kapture

Kapture Max for Live V2.0 features the Global track filtering feature from Kapture Pad too.

Another day, another update live on the App Store... this time it's for Griid & Griid Pro

Kapture Pad is a fantastic app . Two feature requests :

- overwrite an existing snapshot

- automatic renaming dialog after kapturing a new snapshot ( same as saving a new bank )

cheers

Hey Tzee,

Thanks for the feedback! You're not the first person to ask for this. The challenge is finding a mechanism which keeps the current simplicity and straight-forwardnes, but also offers the option to overwrite (or re-order) global snapshots. Kapture was always designed to be extremely simple and extremely powerful: one button kaptures the whole Live set. I'll keep my thinking cap on.

Cheers
Nick

As for overwriting a snapshot, wouldnt it be sufficient to just tap an existing snapshot with 2 fingers to overwrite it?
Even with the screen-estate of an iphone this would still be kind of reliable, I guess?

Hey Matthew,

That's a cool idea, but I think it's a bit dangerous... imagine this: you have created a great sounding mix, and you want to overwrite a global snapshot. You go to tap with two fingers, but you're just a bit too quick and the iPad detects a single tap. Instead of saving a snapshot, you just loaded an old one and lost your Live settings.

It's the thing with multitouch gesture.. on the iPad, when you tap an icon to load an app, or to open an email.. Nine times out of ten it works, but then one time you actually scroll instead of tapping. That's ok, you don't really notice because those functions aren't mission critical.

In the case of a music app like Griid or Kapture controlling Ableton Live, especially if you're on stage, you can't afford the controller to not do exactly what you expect. That's why we try, as much as possible, to create a UI in which it's impossible to get a wrong gesture. That's why we disabled scrolling in the clip grid: if you tap a clip, you know 100% for sure that you will launch a clip. No danger of scrolling.

That being said, we 100% appreciate the feedback and welcome UI and features discussions!

Cheers,
Nick

just curious, what's the difference? does it take advantage of the increased processing power vs. iPad 1?

The big difference with the iPad 2 is indeed the increased processing power. The custom graphics engine we're using in Griid - while already very smooth - renders with a much higher fps [frames per second] on the iPad 2. Basically, Griid just got even smoother.

Which device are you on btw?

iPad 2! I will be checking Griid Pro this weekend. Thanks

Hi everybody, couple updates this week!

- Griid manual is out, with all the details on note editing & sequencing in the Cliip MIDI editor.
http://liineblog.wordpress.com/2011/05/ ... mentation/

- Video demo of Miixer. Get your headphones on and check out the precision faders.
http://liineblog.wordpress.com/2011/05/ ... -tutorial/

Also, we've just submitted a new update to the App Store with In-App purchases for Griid users. You can now get Cliip or Miixer. A few nice little improvements too: Cliip will now remember the view offset and zoom level for every single clip. You can jump from editing a beat in one clip to a bassline in another and the note grid will be right where you left it.

Griid Installer 1.13.3 (for OS X & Windows) is now online. Notable fixes includes clip start marker was being reset in some cases.
