touchAble is an unique iPad app is the first application to give Ableton Live users full control over their digital audio workstation, without the tiresome process of manual midi-mapping. touchAble allows live users to walk away from their computer and perform live from anywhere within Wi-Fi range (using ad-hoc connection or router) while keeping latency at a minimum.
TouchAble App includes 6 advanced modules, Clip grid, Mixer, Devices, Pads, Keys, XY Pad, and 2 commands menu : clips and transport.
TouchAble provides a powerful, intuitive and reliable multitouch control solution for professional use. touchAble includes templates for lives plugins and is fully compatible with vsts, audiounits and instruments.

TouchAble App for iPad is available worldwide exclusively through the iTunes App Store : http://www.itunes.com/app/touchable

the new 1.2 version include an Advanced multi dots XY pad with:

-Up to 4 Dots at once - each with their own X, Y & Z Parameters.
-Choose the dots X, Y & Z Parameters from All of Lives Mixer & Device.
-Easy parameter assignments through the config menu.
-Set direction & force of gravity and bouncing mode individually for each dot.
-Record the dots movements - loop, reverse or cut them till they fit your needs.
-Play them back as automations - quantized and in complete sync with Ableton Live.
-Save automations and parameter assignments to the database within touchAble and exchange them with other iPads and Users via iTunes.
-Save snapshots of the dots positions:
Hold, Stop & Morphing mode
-Set morphing length & which of the are dots affected by snapshots.

TouchAble 1.2 also offers plenty of new features and improvements:

Device Module:
The Control elements on the FX8 & FX32 View now switch their behavior & style depending on the parameter they control.
Possible styles are: Toggle, Multitoggle, Fader & centered Fader.
This will work with Lives devices & all M4L Devices.

Added 'Snap' mode:
You can activate the Snap mode per device with the 'snap' button in the Menu to the right.
If enabled, the control elements will snap back to their original value once you lift your finger.
To change the original value of the parameters: disable Snap mode - tweak the device to your needs and enable Snap mode again to jump back to these values at the end of your touches.

New optional settings:

Added Relative Fader mode for devices
Added possibility to disable scene launch buttons.
Added OneTap Recording:
Newly recorded clips will automatically be of the same length as the currently set Launch Quantization. This enables you to tap on an empty slot once to start recording and have it loop automatically after the set amount of time.

General:

Decreased latency and increased throughput to Live substantially.
Performance increased throughout the app.

TouchAble is supported by many professional musicians, performers, djs and composers around the world, who use touchAble on stage or in studio.

FUTURE MUSIC UK:
"You may think about touchAble and an iPad instead of a hardware controller. A compliment indeed."

MUSICTECH MAG UK: "It can handle the majority of performance or interactive elements within Live without requiring any manual controller design or mapping, making it an easy-to-use but nonetheless powerful Live controller." 9/10

MUSICRADAR.COM UK:
"The cheaper, more fully featured touchAble is a clear all-round winner. Its advanced control options give it the advantage in terms of power and make it the obvious choice for studio use and live performance."

DE:BUG MAG DE:
"Definitely a recommendation for all iPad users who think about buying a controller for Live - even though touchAble isn't able to deliver haptic feedback in many areas it has advantages to physical controllers. It's worth it - even for studio-use."

  • Paid for it, downloaded it. Won't connect. Just another iPad app that promises everything, and delivers nothing. Don't waste your money or especially your time.

  • @jjohngalt send a mail to support 'at' touch-able 'dot' com describing your problem and we'll get you connected in no time. Personal support is one of those few features that we promise AND deliver ;-)

  • I just invested on an iPad 2, specifically to run Liine's Griid Pro + Kapture Pad and touchAble, all 3 at the same time using multitask. Guess what? I followed all both companies instructions on connecting via Ad-Hoc and all 3 Apps worked like it is coming from just one App. It controls all parameters of Ableton Live 8 (I have the Live 8.2.2 version). It works flawlessly. Just add them to facebook account and they will answer your questions very fast. Two thumbs up for both companies!! :-)

  • @jjohngalt you are the virus to commenting on apps. Clearly you didn't even bother contacting their support, nor do you even know how to set the program up properly 

  • @jjohngalt its the new server, u need to do a different kind of connection.  you need to share your internet via airport with a password protected ad hoc, not as simple as using the touchosc server. its a SICK program, clearly you gave up on it WAY too quickly

  • WOW !!!

  • @touchAbleapp yeh they fixed my problems. Replied within 2hrs. Really slick operation they are running.

  • You guys are fantastic nerds 

  • why is the hand on the left more pale and hairy than the hand on the right?

  • @jjohngalt This is the coolest app to control Live Ableton

  • Wow, very impressive. I am going to buy this and I hope that the company keeps supporting it and updating it because it already looks awesome.
