Knobbler for Ableton Live
Mix. Launch. Tweak.
All in your hands.
An auto-labeling, auto-coloring, multitouch control surface for Ableton Live — running on the iPad, iPhone, or Android device you already own.
Now with Split view, button sliders, and macro variations!
Five views, a tap apart. Knobbler puts assignable faders, buttons and X-Y pads on any parameter you can map, across as many named pages as you need. Bluhand grabs every knob on the selected device. Mixer covers the whole set, Clips launches it, and the new Split view puts any two of them on screen at once.
Push 3 Standalone,
fully on board.
Knobbler now talks directly to Ableton Push 3 in standalone mode — no laptop required. Bring just the Push and your tablet to the stage and have the whole control surface in your hands.
Same auto-labeling, auto-coloring, and instant feedback you get when running with a Live set on a computer.
Two views at once,
your way.
The new Split view stacks any two app pages, one above the other — Mixer over Clips, Knobbler over Bluhand, whatever your set calls for. Tap the bar on either pane to change what it shows.
Launch a scene up top and ride the mixer below, or keep two pages of faders, buttons, and X-Y pads on screen at the same time.
Five views, one app
Map it. Mix it. Launch it.
Every view is a single tap away — and all of them are auto-labeled and auto-colored from your Live set.
Mixer
Full-screen multi-track mixer with volume, pan, mute, solo, sends, and live output meters. Swipe out a channel strip for the selected track.
Clips
Launch, record, recolor, and delete clips and scenes from a grid that mirrors your Live session — with real-time playing clip progress.
Knobbler
Assignable faders, buttons and X-Y pads across as many named pages as you need. Touch any parameter in Live to map it to the next free slider — no menu diving, no manual labeling.
Bluhand
Every parameter of the currently selected device, instantly, with proper units (dB, ms, %). Double-tap any slider to snap back to default.
Split
Put any two views — Mixer, Clips, Knobbler or Bluhand — on screen at once, top and bottom. Launch a scene and ride the levels without switching.
More in this release
Buttons, variations & more.
The latest Knobbler also turns slots into buttons, puts rack variations on the page, and sharpens scene feedback.
Button sliders
Turn any slot into a Momentary or Toggle button that jumps between two values you set — defaulting to the parameter's full range.
Macro variations
Drop a rack's macro variations onto a Knobbler slot and recall them straight from the page, like scene buttons for your sound.
Named pages & Layout
Name your Knobbler pages — up to 16 per set — and drag any fader, button or X-Y pad anywhere with Layout mode.
Sixty seconds
See it in action.
A quick tour of what Knobbler feels like to play, mix, and perform with.
Auto-labeled. Auto-colored. Always in sync.
Knobbler mirrors your Live set in real time — track names, colors, parameters. No more squinting at a generic surface wondering what fader 7 controls.
Free Max for Live device.
Companion app on the stores.
Drop the free Max for Live device into Ableton, install the companion app on your tablet or phone, and you're playing.
