Reviews

When it works it’s great
RusticusMaximus91711

When this app works as advertised it’s great. Unfortunately it seems to lose the server constantly and then won’t or can’t reconnect. Pretty aggravating considering I paid $10 for an app that I can’t use consistently. Not sure what causes it to lose the server either.


Great control over Live 10
icotteng

I’ve had success connecting touchable mini to both my Mac and Windows versions of Live Suite 10, and it works beautifully with both! The control it provides over Live cannot be rivaled for $10. I’ve gotten some pretty interesting patches out of Analog just messing around with this thing!


Total money grabbing dbags...
Sonoluminescence

Devs Launch a “New version” instead of fixing this buggy as sheet app so they can grab another $30 from gullible producers. Hey how about those of us who payed full price for an app that never quite worked... Stay away from these a s s wipes and check Lemur


Solid Port, Game Changing App
LYCRAbeats

Intuitive interface. Setting this up next to my keyboard feels like an excellent extra interface for tweaking effects and mixing on the fly.


Near Perfect Ableton Controller
Feyd-Rautha Detroit

I was blown away by how easy it was to get touchable working with Ableton. I was up and running in less than 5 minutes. It has everything I need in an Ableton controller, and it is all instantly mapped in Touchable. No need to create a custom mapping like Touch Osc. I just wish I owned an iPad so I could have more surface area to work with, but everything is easily scalable. My only complaint is that the keyboard and drum pad did not respond as an input. Other than that, you can control pretty much everything from your phone that you can on the computer, and even do a few extra things that you can't do on the computer. If you are even slightly curious about it, I highly recommend it!


Microphone access?
rycar.us

Wrote an email over two weeks ago asking why this app requests microphone access, and I have received no response.


Excellent performance over wireless
MrTimDuluth

I just wanted to publicly state my surprise at how low the latency and how high the accuracy is over a wireless connection, even being routed through a router. I used to have problems with connections not lasting, but this no longer seems to be a problem. This app really does low me away with what it is able to do... Wirelessly!


Mini in name but hugely useful. Transport alone is worth price of entry.
mattsterp

Touchable mini has all the features that make sense for the size of your iPhone without falling short of features that you expect. The touchable server you instal on your computer is very well implemented and detects all your live installations and install the script for you, which is a very nice touch.(pun intended) after having some technical hurdles and contacting support i found the support staff to be absolutely committed to resolving my issue. I gave this app 5 stars and i think you will too.


No server
Xisabraxas

Why are there no reviews for this app? I have everything installed but the app cannot connect to the touchAble server which appears active on my computer (windows 7). I disabled windows firewall and re-installed bonjour as the website's guide suggested, still no server found. How can I begin using this $10 app?


Ultimate Control of Live 9
Ewizzey

However, after this most recent update, the app freezes when connecting to Ableton. It worked incredibly until then, on both iphone5s and iPad3. I uninstalled and re installed and re opened the app several dozen times and still nothing . PLEASE fix this, THIS APP IS INCREDIBLY FUN and works seamlessly
