@Le K: by the way do you have any plans to bring some kind of control over the drum rack mixer in the future? Volume, sends, mutes, solo would be very welcome.

Yes! A drum rack template is in the works - it will work a bit differently internally, but it will allow mixer access for the drum rack :)

since this seems to be the right place for touchable QandA...

1. is there a template for just the rack macro pane? i.e. just eight knobs.

2. will the templates eventually work on iphone as well, or are they only for ipad?

thanks in advance!

1. Yes: you'll have faders instead of knobs - but the 8 macros are easily accessible!

2. Yes again! :) We will have to change a few of the templates to fit the smaller screen, but we're already working on it and they will come in the not so distant future! Also, if you purchased the templates on the iPad, you will not have to purchase them again when using Mini.

John: out and available after updating to version3!

Guys ... a really cool tool and great companion for PUSH ... thanks for that :)

Does touchable also work via cable, if my iPad is connected to a class compliant midi interface?

This would allow a rather lean & stable, cause wifi-independent setup. With only two USB devices connected to my MacBook: Push & iConnectMIDI4+. And ALL my input devices (incl. iPad) plus external gear connected to latter.

I just hope I do not have to switch plugs to either use touchAble or f.e. Lemur.

WIFI is as well no workaround for me as a second iPad ;)

From what I know you can only have one 1 thing connected via the USB/pin port of the iPad. But I'm pretty sure there is a way to have multiple things connected, I haven't had time to test it yet, so if someone has a clue about that, please share your experience.

Hi Le K, the simple single answer I need is whether or not touchable works cabled via a class compliant midi interface. If so ... everything should work just fine, if not, I would have to switch cables, which would be kind of pity :)

Works like a charm on live 9.1.4, osx snow leopard and iOS 6 :)

Super uber job guys gonna treat myself to template pack.
This app combined with push is amazing!

Would love to see you do templates for max for live stuff…

Never liked Apple/Mac... Looking forward to an Android release. (I know Android Audio apps have latency issues, but I'm hoping the controllers don't)

Touchable 3 functionality uses no midi into Live at all. So yeah, it'll be tricky to use in combination with a midi port.

There is the Lightning port, and then there is class compliant midi through usb via Lightning. And then there is the all which transmits non-data through a port.

So now I'm wondering, are there Lightning Hubs, and what are their limitations? :D
My ultimate dream is a rechargeable USB hub! Then I can connect several devices with no outlet, without having power issues :twisted:

Could one use the Iconnectmidi to that purpose?
I had been wondering about that.
It would be great to be able to charge the ipad while it is plugged via USB to the Iconnectmidi and use touchable + other apps at the same time.
Iconnectmidi4 also has Audiopassthrough, which is great
