the bite wrote:great!
i had some issues : when i try to browser the samples freezes during a lot of time and no matter what i try always crash when trying to read the whole manual.
the last problem is bad for me, because i want to read all the new functions.
Another thing: it,s possible to make morphing between the 8 snapshots? the only thing i can do it,s jumping between one to another position.

What i like most: Midi editor: awesome!
it would be very nice if you do for a next update a chord function.Choose a chord and draw with one finger.Draw a chord with my big fingers it,s a pain!
Browser: it,s a pleasure to drag and drop effects and ableton instruments.i thought it will work with vst and au but i think i,m making something wrong because doesn,t work. Drag and drop clips it would be amazing too, but i think this is not possible due to ableton not because of touchable.
Hold functions: it,s like repeat function of push and you can do 64!
Eq8 : awesome too.
Draw the functions you want to control: you have all the functions the way you want .
ohhh, i just discovered the snap length function.So nice to use with the lock function and 8 bars long!!!!

Very happy with the update!

Amazing stuff guys! I so want an iPad now, but Push comes first.
Regarding TouchAble 2 and Push: can they controll different clips and devices at the same time? Do you have two independent BlueHands in Live then?!

yes, it happens to me too.it happens when all the scenes are fill.if a press new by mouse on ableton creates a new blank scene, but if i try with the new button of touchable it does,t do anything.
+ 1


I also had an issue where 'creating' a track/scene will create 3 tracks/scenes in 1 push..
restarting the app fixed this..

Also having some GUI inconsistencies in the mixer when using 'multi' select
We have already sent an update to Apple, should be available during the week. It will fix all these small bugs and will include some improvements.

Just have to say the look and feel of the interface is really, really, nicely designed.

however,,,,
I was very disappointed to find out that there is no access at to devices/parameters that live inside a rack...
only the top-most 8 macros of a rack can be displayed/accessed...
Oh no, i didn,t notice this!!!! Very bad news!

Incredible update. The only thing I'm wondering is if we will ever be able to preview samples before importing into drum racks. Great job !

hey le k...
once again let me say.. amazing work...
as a V1 user I have to say it's a lot more cluttered.. but this clutter is greatly appreciated.. I will probably use all of the functions

I can think of some stuff that can be added to make this app more powerful.. not sure if some of these are even possible.

access to racks (including dragging devices inside racks)..
create groups from tracks
create racks from devices
browser preview mode..
device hot swap mode (!!!)
access to my custom 'places'
access to the browser search function
groove pool control
copy/paste functionality (can live without)
some sort of reference to the arrangement view.. even if only markers..

Last thing:
i,m using a midi controller to record some automation using Touchable.When i go to the recorded automation i see it,s like a ladder, not very smooth.Even if i,m not using a midi controller and only using the fingers, the automation it,s not very smooth.It,s there a way to improve this?

Same here...


Also... If I am in the midi clip editor, building a beat, and I want to open the browser and audition different kits by dropping them, that works but sometimes it crashes. It works most reliably if I drop them on the piano grid... if I try to drop them in the midi clip editor clip view (at top left) it crashes. I hope we will be able to switch out instruments/kits while staying in midi editor - so intuitive. I see that it works more consistently if you bring in the device view and drop in there but it's really sweet to have just the browser and the midi clip editor open while auditioning kits.

Still the sequencer (midi clip editor) is very intuitive and has a great flow - pretty much the sequencer I've always wanted!!!
