Fantastic work, TouchAble people!
I'm blown away that you have given v2 as a free upgrade for v1 users.

Thanks Touchable. I'm very impressed. While I did have connectivity issues at first, a reboot seems to have cleared all that up.

I used to view Touchable as a second rate app after Lemur, but they've really stepped up their game with this new version.

thanks! Honestly that is a big gift we give to our users, I hope people like you will help us to find some new users, this way we will be able to push the app forward, there is still so much to do . Comment on the iTunes page of the app, share on social medias, forum, all of these simple things are very helpful :)
Have fun!

Hi

I've used Live (but not intensively) for around 5 years now and last week bought an Ipad and Touchable. I'm blown away with the potential here, but I have a lot to learn.

I am interested in DJing with Touchable and wondered if anybody could suggest any Ableton/Touchable combinations that would work well or point the way to anyresources.

I'm on a pretty steep learning curve, but loving it so far.
Any help gratefully received

we made a small video tutorial a while ago to show a simple way to dj with touchAble, this one is with v1 but you can obviously do the same (and more) with v2:

Thanks very much for that.

Have looked at it and it is a great start. Will do that as a starting point. Probably start with only two channels and then move to 4.

Next will have to sort out FX racks etc - Just got to use the XY fader with filters for mixing.

Three questions:

1. If there is no way to quantize recorded notes in MIDI clip editor?
2. If there is a way to enable smth like 'snap to grid' in MIDI clip editor?
3. How can I duplicate a clip to a new clip slot?

Thank you!

The answer on a question #3: Hold the Add button and tap quickly on a clip to duplicate it to the slot below. Great! ;)

Also, when trying to drag a 3rd party plugin onto a track from the TouchAble browser I get a "The Preset cannot be loaded. It is probably broken" message in Live. However, dragging the same plugin from the Live browser works just fine. I also seem to lose my wifi connection a lot, at least Live stops responding to the things I do in the TouchAble app. I don't have this issue at all when using Livecontrol 2 which I also use via the same wifi setup. I may be one of a few, but I have had nothing but issues getting Touchable to work since its version 1 was released. Never had any issues with any other apps like this. :( I really want to like this app, because it seems sooooo powerful and awesome.

Ken, did the 2.01 update fix your issues?

So much better, thanks!!!! I wish I could pull in 3rd party plugins from the app browser, without wrapping it into a Rack or creating presets. I saw Chris' post that Live doesn't support this. The internal Live devices work though without having to select presets. Hopefully Ableton will incorporate this at some point soon.

Now I am looking forward to using it! :)

Thanks,
Ken

Yeah, can't achieve that and I doubt Ableton will give us the ability to do so. Many users are creating VST presets for Push mainly but with touchable this is also a good option too.

I have a preset pack for Omnisphere and Queglay has a preset pack for the Komplete package all in the Push section. If there are VSTs I own or can get donations for then I am happy to create more.

Touchable is frekin awesome. Any new users to Ableton could not go wrong as a first controller surface.

There is also an alternative mapping for Lives own devices available in the Push section. This makes them much more usable!
