touchAble allows live users to walk away from their computer and perform live from anywhere within Wi-Fi range while keeping latency at a minimum.
Play your favourite synths with the unique double keyboard or record your rhythms with the 16 drum pads, including 5 velocity steps & octave selectors.
Access the most important transport and clip functions without losing focus on your set and tweak the same set with two iPads with the unique Dual-User-Mode.
do you need to adjust volume, launch a new clip and play a device? Don't worry - a smart and intuitive screen menu empowers the user to arrange and switch modules on the fly.

touchAble does not require any midi-mappings as it uses LiveOSC to communicate directly with the LiveAPI.

@FYICREW

There has been some major changes since we made this video. Latest update is previewed in the video response to this one here :)

[bobyaheadtothemarley]

@weaponEX EXACTLY!!!!! how could you make an ipad controller that doesn't do x/y pads!? That would easily be one of the greatest features of this type of device. has this been added?

[touchAbleapp]

@bobyaheadtothemarley XY Pads have been added in version 1.2 offering automations, bouncing balls, gravity and morphing options.

Check out the video responses for updated features :)

I was going to buy an ipad and use this app. but it seems there is no mute anywhere.

for my liveset I need access to scenes and mutes (no volume faders, mutes) at the same time.

I also looked for other apps doing the same job, but it looks like none have scenes, clips and mutes at the same time on the same page.

btw you should develop a vertical mode

[touchAbleapp]

@troubl3gum The yellow buttons you see below the volume faders at 0:55 are the mute toggles for each track. You can switch the modules you want to have shown on either half of the screen - e.g. show Clips, Scenes, volumes & mutes at the same time.

Hope this is what you're looking for :-)

If you have further questions don't hesitate to email / pm us.

Whao!! this is great!!... But what about the PIANO ROLL????

[touchAbleapp]

@pr0beats Piano roll/ step sequencer will be added in the next weeks. We want to deliver a perfect one.

Second, will you incorporate accelerometer data or utilize the gyro in any kind of midi programmable way? I have to use an app called iTilt to do it, so I switch back and forth between apps but would prefer to stay in yours. It's cool because I can play my iPad like a theremin. Any chance that will happen in the next update?

[JonnyNM1986]

First of all, I LOVE this app! BEST thing that ever happened to my iPad. Great Job!

[prdinpnk]

Does it have to connect via WI-FI or can it be via USB? I ethernet midi sync two laptops and I find that things gets glitchy if I have the airport on while doing so.

[trapazza]

Nice app.

The music is really annoying.

[UrmasPutnick]

Welcome to gradient hell!

[FYICREW]

Right now touchOSC and live control do all of this with a midi/piano roll editor. Please add as well.

[FYICREW]

Add "the bridge" and I'll buy this today

[paralelSun]
