Legacy version - there will be no additional Feature - Updates for touchAble 3. For your up to date fix of touchAble - please refer to our new app - touchAble Pro.
**************
touchAble is THE controller app for Ableton Live.
"A controller that rivals the Push in the hardware space, and almost completely leaves the competition behind in the app space." DJ TECHTOOLS
touchAble 3 offers a vast array of new and improved features and finally connects via a simple USB cable. The new Live Device Template Pack (available as an in-app purchase) provides a well designed layout for nearly every device in Live.
touchAble 3 includes six different modules that - combined - give you full control over Lives Session-View. Its modular interface allows to split the screen to show two modules at the same time - or to maximise the surface area of a single module. And if the size of one iPad is not enough, you can use touchAble with as many iPads or iPhones (using touchAble Mini) as you want.
'The level of control and amount of customisation is really impressive as is the integration with Live. SonicTouch Gold Award.' SONICSTATE
'touchAble can really add a new level of performance to your gigs and recording sessions.' DJMAG
'touchAble promises to be a real game-changer in the world of controller apps.' ASKAUDIO magazine
'Ableton users with an iPad, it's an easy recommendation.' RESIDENT ADVISOR
'touchAble goes further than any app has before.' CREATE DIGITAL MUSIC
'There are so many great features that each Live user can find useful as their main controller.' DUBSPOT

Chord Mode allows for precise note placements and lengths - in any scale you want.

touchAble 3 is compatible with Live 9 & 10 (latest version) - Lite, Intro, Standard and Suite - and runs on all generations of iPad. The Server Software requires OSX 10.7 and above or Windows 7 and above.

8 of 25No other app even comes close. This app beats some of its hardware counterparts.
I've used this app regularly for the last couple of years, and it's become a mainstay of my production work in Ableton Live. It packs an awful lot of features and it's become increasingly reliable. I think Touchable and Lemur are the two most useful iOS apps for working with Ableton. I only wish Touchable had a more thorough PDF guide to help figuring out what each feature and button does.
Spend about $50 and turn your iPad into a touchscreen Push-style controller? Talk about a no-brainer! This is one of those instances where you can waste a lot of money on other apps that theoretically do the same thing for less cash, except that they're needlessly complicated, inefficient, laggy, and come with all kinds of hidden costs. I should know—I did the dumb thing and bought them all, and none of the rest hold a candle to touchAble. The UI covers everything (go into it knowing you're going to buy the expansion) and its super easy to get around in. I particularly. Love being able to connect via USB, which makes it super stable with minimal latency. Basically, this app just made my iPad a relevant part of my studio workflow, making it a simply phenomenal investment.
I purchased this product 20 minutes ago along with the Live Template Pack for an additional $14.99. The website it points you to for the download of the Template pack is non-existent making the app totally useless. I tried to submit a refund through iTunes and received a message stating these products are not eligible for a refund. Again.....do not waste your money. This is a rip off.
Won’t get past pairing to ableton, even with a USB connection. Tried deleting the app and re-downloading multiple times with no success. Love this app, it is a huge part of my workflow. Please update and fix this soon
I love the app but for the past two months it can't connect to my Windows computer
Just right after struggling and not using app, I should pay again $29.99 for the same thing with new bugs?! This is ridiculous! Taking a great niche supporting Live and doing so poor job, asking for more money from volunteers who have supported your project, hoping it will work and become best - is simply unfair. Thumbs down.
Boggles my mind that this is sitting at under a 5 star rating. I like using this app more than my Push 2. It's that good. This is an indispensable tool for any Live user with an iPad.
