Knobbler runs on the Push 3 Standalone (P3SA) — no computer required

What you can do

Pair Knobbler with P3SA and you can:

  • Assemble two pages of 16 auto-named, auto-colored, multitouch sliders, or combine adjacent sliders into X-Y controls. Knobbler page on iPad over a Push 3 Standalone
  • Navigate your set and see and adjust all of the parameters of the currently selected device — on a phone or a tablet where you are playing or singing. Phone showing Knobbler parameter view next to a Push 3 Standalone
  • Switch to mixer view for a sidecar mixer that travels with you. Knobbler mixer alongside a Push 3 Standalone
  • Expand your clips view with clip names and a smooth panning surface that's more satisfying than tapping cursor keys. Knobbler clips view next to a Push 3 Standalone
  • Navigate all of your tracks, groups, racks, chains, and devices with a swipe on the Navigation bar on the right — handy on a phone too. Phone showing Knobbler navigation view
  • Keep the current track's mixer strip docked on the left of most pages, when you want it.
  • Enable and disable real-time level meters.

Files

When you download the Knobbler4 release, the .zip contains two .amxd files:

  • Knobbler4-vXX.amxd — for your computer.
  • Knobbler4-vXX-Push3Standalone.amxd — for the Push 3 Standalone.

Installing

In Ableton Live, drag Knobbler4-vXX-Push3Standalone.amxd onto your Push 3 in Ableton, then add it to the Main track of the set or template you want to use on Push.

Connecting

The Push 3 Standalone does not support Knobbler's auto-discovery, so you'll connect manually. The app's Setup tab has a Push 3 Standalone helper card with one-tap shortcuts for the two common addresses:

  1. Open the Knobbler app on your phone or tablet and go to the Setup tab.
  2. In the Push 3 Standalone card, tap the address that matches your situation:
    • push.local — both your P3SA and tablet are on the same shared WiFi network.
    • 192.168.0.1 — your tablet is connected to the Push's WiFi hotspot.
  3. Confirm the port is 2346.
  4. You should see "Connected".
