Ableton Forum

Just checking if there are any rumors about something like this in the works. It would make a lot of sense. Live is built for a touch interface in my opinion, and it would make it better for performance.

Lemur, TouchOSC, Touchable...

I mean an actual standalone Live app. Where you can record and edit and sequence and do everything Live does on the PC, on the iPad. I don't see why it wouldn't work, tablets are getting fast processors now, and a dedicated app would be optimized to run well.

Try ELECTRIFY , has the same feel as Live might be what you are looking for

Never tryed it myself, but cubasis seams to be pretty Advanced, i'll hope one day Ableton brings something out like it....

This topic should be bumped & shove down the throats of Ableton's development staff. There is no - NO reason whatsoever why Ableton has not yet released some dedicated app for controlling Live. Or is there a reason? Of course! MONEY. They know they can work on a hardware dedicated controller (APC40, Push, Launchpad) & have some Taiwanese child assemble it for $5.00 & then market it for $500 retail & we're gonna shit our pants & just throw our credit cards to them - As where if they make an app they could only sell it for hmmm I dunno $50 maximum & not make anything close to huge profits in comparison. I'm hoping & pleading they release a dedicated app after the release of Push. When the APC40 was dropped on the market everyone went ape shit for a hardware session view clip controller & they spent hundreds & hundreds on it, even resorting to eBay to pay RIDICULOUS amounts for one. And then shortly after the Launchpad was released for fractions of the price & everyone felt punked. Don't get me wrong...Push is fucking sweet & I'm even tempted to pick one up (because that's the whole damn plan - throw the sheep some feed & they'll flock to nourish their material needs) BUT THE NEED FOR A DEDICATED IPAD CONTROLLER APP IS LONG FUCKING OVERDUE GUYS. Seeing how it took them 5 years to release a new version of Live I imagine we'll get to see a iPad app around 2016. Geezz you slack asses, get with the program & times. GET AHEAD OF THE GAME, NOT BEHIND. Rant over.

+1, it's basically a cut down version of Session view with some interesting tough functions for performance. Pretty well done actually.

Thanks for the response but I am not really looking for a substitute. I am a diehard Live fan, and use it on PC. I was only wondering if there were rumors about tablet development. It seems like a very logical and profitable step.

i think this is your longest post ever.

Anything that is mentioned or asked on the internet more than 6 times by those in the know or just unsubstantiated speculating based on a wish is officially considered a rumor.

So yes, it is rumored.

You should also be sorely disappointed if it never happens. You were lead to believe it was going to happen....even more so if there is a completely fake concept video of it...even if it is clearly labeled as just a concept.

What about those laptops that work as a tablet when closed? they run windows 8 ... would live work with the touch screen on one of those laptops when folded...?
