touchAble 3 is out! Now connects via simple USB cable & more

[kitekrazy]

I just bought it. Doesn't seem to work. Sent support email. So far bad impression of this app. It's actually shit. Connection issues with USB. That's how bad it is.

That's an unfair statement right there. Out of thousands of ios apps I've tried it's one of a handful that makes an ipad worth the purchase. They've always been super responsive IME, try their forum too.

I wonder if he is using a Windows OS.

BTW anyone using this with Windows?

[Chris / touchAble]

I still wasted my money on buying the "Device Template Pack". There is a heavy bug which still isn't fixed (like many others). If you have your instruments/FX in racks it doesn't work! Also if you're using groups (organised tracks) this will not work.

So, just buy this Device Pack if you're shure you don't work with groups or racks.

Hey mai,
the templates should definitely work with Racks (from Live 9) as well as Group tracks - could you explain a little more what is going wrong?

@Division Monarchy - i can't relate any ticket on support to your name - did your issue get sorted yet?

Cheers,
Chris

Some things are sorted, but I still get connection issues with USB and I'm using a Mac. And there are some interface bugs, for example with the Operator device the envelop is all messed up when I make an adjustment. Some parameters I cannot find or access, like drawing in a user wave... I'm not sure what other issues are beyond that, because getting dropped connections with a USB cable has not made this a very inspiring app for me. In general, I expect my apps to behave a certain way and when they are frustrating off the bat I usually delete them and get a refund. I have not yet with this one, but I am really disappointed. It's a great app in theory though.

I guess you should program your own perfect app.

I'm a musician. Not a programmer.

That's my point : you shouldn't be so harsh if you don't understand the problems lying under app programming. I'm just a max intermediate to advanced programmer but I can tell you I had a hard time doing things that seem simple just because I lacked clear structural elements from Ableton. Touchable is a very clever and efficient app, I trust its hard working and very responsive developpers. Just my two cents.

[yur2die4]

Still, I am sure they appreciate constructive input. If one person has issues and they are able to resolve it, it will improve the experience for other users. It is sort of the ultimate challenge which they constantly work at.

I'd like to point out though, the overtone bars in operator are inaccessible except directly on Live itself. Not a limitation that Touchable has any control over.

I'm just pointing out flaws that I am experiencing with it. Maybe my tone is a bit harsh, however I am beyond frustrated wasting my time with software that doesn't deliver. That's not something for any developer to take personally. The developers of this seem like nice people. That is separate from the fact that so far I have found this app counter intuitive to my workflow. I buy apps to use not troubleshoot, which feels like all I've been doing lately. I wish I knew how to be a developer, I tried teaching myself only to realize I don't have the brain for it and I wold be better off practicing my arpeggios.

Anyone using this in Windows?

Anyone using this in Windows?

Yes, all the time. Works 100% fine and is now indispensable to my workflow. I use it with both a Dell desktop and a Toshiba laptop.

Can someone help me?

Hi
Is it possible to merge two template setups from different ipads with two different templates?
Thank you
Arne

Don't know where else to post this but I'm currently using the public beta of live 10 and can confirm Touchable is currently working on windows, I'm running touchable on a version 1 ipad. I just copied the remote scripts from my live 9 folder and pasted. No modifications needed.

Hopefully we will hear back from the developers soon.

Awesome, thanks. Was waiting for this before I start moving to 10.

Stop producing nonsense. Touchable is buggy. I reported bugs to them and they confirmed them. And no fix after some time - i asked and got refund from Apple store.

But you should not speak crap on forums because you are "advanced programmer". Who cares? They advertised and selling something which is not working as described. Ahaha so ok i need to be happy and not be unhappy because programming is hard. Come on.

And now it is abandoned pretty much. They even shut down their own forums because there was ton of issues reported there. Like mostly 90% of threads where issue related on their forum. So they looked bad in public. Shutting down forum just made it "they crossed line" for me and yes i will speak.

Yes thankfully i got money returned but time was WASTED.


OP: i also used it on windows. Wifi was working like for 30 minutes then it pooed itself. There where screen syncing issues plus connection dropouts.

Btw i use Conductr over WIFI - no ANY issues. Zero. number 0. Right from Start. Never single issue. On top of that i use Integra 7 ipad controller. Guess what. No issues.

Lemur - no issues.

Touchable - issues.

But yeah it's my fault. These new generations are great. If i have a issue and internet nobody does not - it must be me causing problem. While at the same time every other app working flawless on ipad. Ok.

Offtopic - didn't they said on their FB page they are working on new and improved app which will replace Touchable anyway?
