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 Push 3 Standalone support!

Five views, a tap apart. Knobbler puts 32 assignable faders and X-Y pads on any parameter you can map. Bluhand grabs every knob on the selected device. Mixer covers the whole set, Clips launches it, and Session gives you both 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.

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.

Knobbler session-view clip grid

Clips

Launch, record, recolor, and delete clips and scenes from a grid that mirrors your Live session — with real-time playing clip progress.

Knobbler

32 assignable faders and X-Y pads. 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.

Session

Clips and mixer together on one screen — launch a scene and ride the levels without ever switching views.

Sixty seconds

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.
