You have to tone down the graphics and colour scheme 8O

That is seriously headache inducing.

Keep it going - fabulous :) :)

colours in touchAble are flashy and vibrant cause performer has to visualize all the menus, modules, functionalities really quick, Ipad it is not a 25 inch screen, believe me when you are playing with controllers on stage you are not playing in your bedroom...

Btw, be sure you watch the new video with screencasts ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELivdvySUm0), the colour rendering is closer to reality (we had some light issue while we filmed the first video).
Most of the colors come from the clips anyways, you can decide how the app looks ;)
New skins options will come pretty soon.
But if you get the chance to play out of your bedroom , I guess we'll discuss that point again ;)

How do you scroll around the grid without accidentally launching a clip? Other apps have that problem when they combine scrolling with menu options but that's not as much of a problem as on something you might be recording or performing with.

One question: does it support only live native plugins
or it has an interface to support racks fx too (like 8 sliders/knobs)?
check the new video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELivdvySUm0
answer inside....;)

and my answer..... yes it does, vst/au/live plugins/macro/max4live

you ll get very surprised to check how the navigation inside the clip grid is smart. While moving the grid with a finger by touching a clip (or several), the clip won't launch :)
We spent days focused on that feature, and it works perfectly.
I should make a little video just about that feature...good idea :)

Thanks :)

I'm looking forward to when we can talk about this from personal experience instead of speculation.

Um. Ahh. Okay. Let's talk some truth.

You guys did submit this for approval, right?

I mean, you aren't going to be like those arsehole fucktards over at midipad.de, right?

Where you create a website and post a bunch of videos and do interviews and then....and then....and then.....

Maybe it's so fantastic and futuristic that quality control forwarded it to Steve Himself for testing and approval.

But like I said in the other thread, he's a little busy boxing up iPhone bumper cases right now. :P

This looks rediculous.. I knew someone would be coming out with some kind of ableton touch controller with all the ins-outs: transport, clip grid, device rack control, etc - but the thing that is really impressive are the templates for native devices, like the EQ and stuff like that.. Wish I had an iPad

I just pee'd me pants watching the latest vid again.

Two things I don't think you've addressed that have been asked about:

1. X/Y pads. These are essential; especially in the soft synth arena for things like Alchemy; where the morphing feature is a HUGE part of the playability.

2. Pitch bend. Both for the keys and the pads. Essential, really, just like the X/Y pads.

:?:

Damnit man, the only thing that needs to be addressed in this thread right now is where the fuck is the thing?

2- Pitch bend AND mod wheel.. maybe an x/y with those 2 params - with options for the "spring"
