touchAble for iPad arrives



I know lots of people have been waiting for this one, here's the detail:

touchAble - control Ableton Live from your iPad

Navigate around your live set with the touch of a finger, tweak Lives mixer, instruments and fx with full automapping and unlimited tracks & parameters. 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.

Looks great. Does anyone know the Ableton Live version requirements for this? I'm still a couple versions back, couldn't find any requirements for the app.

I found out you need Live 8. I'm tempted to upgrade Live just for this, but the upgrade prices apparently got jacked up this version so I might not. App itself looks fantastic.

Yeah, I'm not on Live 8 either
