nothing like that will happen, the performance should always stay the same!
the only far fetched possibility is a crash because of low memory - but you would have to use a really really big set, like a few hundred tracks X a few hundred scenes, to actually get it done.
if it's twice the money i would definitely go with the two ipad1 option :)
That's what I thought.
Thanks for your input 8)

you should make the app for the next version like the electribes where you can plug out the ipad and still retain functionality and reconnect/export to ableton... this is where software should be going :) - great start though!

they say the new ipad is quite powerful- at least maybe the ability to play the loops or freeze the audio to play on ipad- if it can be done on the small cpu power of an electribe im sure you could get somewhere in between on an ipad air 2

My friend gave me an iPad 2. This app sounds great. Do I need an account with Apple with monthly fee to use it? Or can I just download the app to my laptop and transfer to the iPad?

I've been using it occasionally since right after the first version came out and came here to say that this release is the first one I've been able to just get locked in a zone with it. I didn't trust the previous wifi for versions for gigging, but now usb and that template add-on... woah, I need a cat to shit on.

"It actually des work perfectly ;) While you change the resonator view within touchAble it doesn't change it within Live, you have to do it manually if you want to see it.
It's basically the same behavior with all the devices using multiple pages/views. LiveAPi doesn't allow this last interaction, but whatever you basically don't need to look at your device on the computer so..;)

How does that work though?
Does it mean that the new templates you offer from the appstore don't allow to reflect the parameter change in Ableton?
Would it therefore not update other midi devices connected to Ableton (a BCR for instance)

Would it not be confusing when you move a few paramaters from the app, then go to the computer a few minutes later to tweak stuff with the mouse, and you can't remember what has changed.
Sounds very confusing to me... :?
