Hi! I'm looking for Android beta testers for my Ableton Live parameter control + navigation app called Knobbler.
I released the iPad version last week (so far to a good reception!), and have set my sights on Android.
Here's more info about what Knobbler does:

If you have an Android tablet and would like to be a beta tester, please drop me a note at
zack@steinkamp.us
Thanks!

Tablets only?
By the way your devices are terrific, I'm starting to incorporate a few into what I'm working on right now. Thank you!!

Woohoo thanks! Any favorite devices?
Knobbler is tablets only at the moment.
IMO, I don't think a phone size would be pleasant to use. Perhaps I could make a "Knobbler Micro" with a couple sliders or buttons, but more than that feels like it would be too fiddly for music. What do you think? Other ideas?

Modulation and delay are what I'm into at the moment, trying to do things with midi and modulation delay and looping for live performance. But the one that made me scare my cat when I yelled at seeing it is modulation math. A bunch of cases where I wished I could modify a parameter from two places at once and yours is the first device I've tried that finds a way to do that
I agree the phone is not great, but I haven't owned an android tablet in many years, I wonder how many people use them.
I did make a touchosc for my pixel 7 with 8 faders that is nice just because it's always there ready to use.

Right on!
Modulation Lerp is fun too if you have ever wanted dynamic control over the min/max modulation values (usually 0% / 100%) in most modulation devices.
Yeah I may pull the plug on the Android thing. I've had several people say "Do Android!" but then nobody responds to asks for testing, and looking at stats around App Store vs Play sales per user makes me wonder if I should return the Samsung Galaxy tablet that is arriving today.

You said the same thing on Reddit.
Your request only has been up for less than two days. Why not wait a bit longer? Not everyone is visiting the forum or Reddit every day.
Maybe ask in the main forum here instead of the Max for Live forum. Or in the Ableton Discord. There are more active users there than the few visiting this forum.
