Long-press it and *without lifting your finger* slide left to narrow the track columns or right to widen them.

Please brighten it up

Thanks for making this app. Honestly, I like touchable more for my live shows, but it will not be useable with future macos versions. Please brighten the clips and make it more readable. Also, I would love to be able to drag in instruments to tracks from the User Library. I know I’m asking for a lot- looking for a replacement for touchable. Thank you.

Knobbler is Essential

Zack, the developer, has created a phenomenal tool. Simply position your iPad in a convenient spot for playing your instrument or mixing, and you’ll soon forget you have Ableton Live running on your computer. It’s incredibly easy to set up and works seamlessly. If you play an instrument that makes it challenging to position a screen in a convenient location, give Knobbler a try. And if you have an Apple Vision Pro, you can place the screen anywhere you want. Controlling Live in the air feels like magic.

A Must Have

I retired early mostly to work on Knobbler. I built it from my own needs in using Ableton Live to make music. No other controller has the level of automated integration with Ableton Live. Literally zero setup after the one-tap connect. The mappings are saved with each set. It's what Ableton has been without.
