October 28, 2026

USB connections to a Mac are now discovered automatically, so using Knobbler over a cable is as simple as Wi-Fi: plug your iPad or iPhone into the Mac running Live, and the Mac appears a second time under Available devices, marked USB. Tap it to connect through the cable. No IP addresses to look up. USB connections to a Windows computer are not supported; use Wi-Fi there.

the best ableton app

this is literally the best ableton live control app !! thanks
MMmahdi machfar

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.
