Our App Of The Day – touchAble
AppBC has announced the release of version 1.2 of touchAble, the successful Ableton Live controller App for the iPad. This update includes – among other new features and improvements, a new Multi-Ball XY PAD module, which gives you a wide variety of different approaches to control sound in fluid interesting ways, not found on any other controller.
Ableton Live is a fantastic playground for two-dimensional controllers like XY pads. The new touchAble XYZ Pad, integrated as a module in the usual touchAble workflow, allows users to create their own combination of parameters from Live & Max4Live devices, VSTs and AudioUnits using a smart assignment menu enabling the user to control up to 12 parameters at once.
As our App of the Day, all our regular readers know the trailer for this app will feature on every page of our site for a whole day. Just scroll to the bottom of this page to take a look.
