Asking for to purchase extras when recording live set!
Inexpensive, yet feature-laden!
Originally bought as Ableton controller, now an irreplaceable midi music making tool
It really is a beautiful experience to create notes with LK, and it also has automatic music generation and the ability to tweak existing notes slightly in new and random ways. This helps get me up and running more quickly too as I can just hit auto generate based on the notes specified, and LK generates either the chords or a melody which can then be sent to different outputs at once. Like for example I can run say a few different loops, like a drum pattern, a bass pattern, or a melody, all within the same window of LK, and have the basics of a full track up and running really quickly, and output it to different instruments, drum machines, or analog synths, or whatever really, without me having to spent ages on each element, or using multiple instances of another app to create and run the same amount of midi tracks sent to different instruments. Then I can go back later once everything is up and running and spent more time on what I need to.
There’s also lots of other features too like custom midi controller layouts, arps, and other useful things, all very capable of sending advanced controls to different locations. I used to use different instances of Drambo to send midi to my instruments, and occasionally still do, but compared to LK the process is just too basic as LK allows for more complex routing off the bat, and has a more elegant interface that allows for more flexibility making music. I really like this app and hope the updates keep coming as this is a very useful tool.

Enfin
L’application est top. Réactive, accès distant, même les clips dans les tracks affichent le nom du clip. C’est vrai il faut un iPad mais pas forcément une bête de course et on peut en trouver sur le marché de l’occasion pour moins chère qu’un contrôleur physique. Bravo

Response from developer
Vielen Dank für deine Bewertung! Wir freuen uns sehr zu hören, dass LK sich gut in dein Remote-Setup zur Steuerung von Ableton einfügt. Es ist toll zu wissen, dass es deinen Workflow erleichtert!
Not up to date
Best controller app I’ve found
Very bad
2/ no clear tutorial ;Exemple The Windows are not the same on the manuel !?
Love this app Need CC’s
Response from developer
Thank you for your review and feedback. LK already supports CC messages within its clips. Have you checked the Velocity, Probability, and Automations sections of the LK manual under the Matrix page? https://www.imaginando.pt/products/lk-ableton-live-and-midi-controller/help/matrix You can enable Automation mode, where you can add CC lanes and draw automation nodes for each lane. When you play a clip, the automations are sent along with the notes. You can also record automations from external sources. Apart from automations, you can also use Clip Actions to send CC automations. Just long-press a clip and tap Clip Actions to access them. If you have any questions about automations, please feel free to reach out to us through our website that we will happily assist you. Best regards
good stuff
Can Not Connect via midi to ableton
Response from developer
In MIDI mode, LK modules work as general MIDI controllers, and you’ll need to route each module’s output to Ubridge and then use it in Ableton. Could you please be more specific about the knob values you’re referring to? The Matrix module allows you to control the knobs of the loaded devices. Which module are you trying to use in MIDI mode? If possible, please reach out through our website so we can assist you with the issues you’re experiencing. Best regards
Best Ableton control surface
Le bonus est de pouvoir l’utiliser sans avoir besoin d’ablation pour faire des sessions sur iPad avec d’autre apps! Bravo!
Response from developer
Merci beaucoup pour votre avis et votre retour. Nous sommes ravis que vous appréciiez l’utilisation de Matrix et Keyboard, et oui, vous pouvez utiliser le module Matrix pour contrôler vos applications sur votre iPad, comme un véritable poste de travail MIDI autonome. Merci encore pour votre avis 5 étoiles.
Amazing
Too complex
- Useless -
Lots of other things to download in order to use this.
Has all you need
I like pretty much everything they're doing here, I do have one request is to add the ability to turn of exclusive mode for record enabling, that would make it pretty much perfect for me.
Response from developer
You can remove the exclusive mode if you arm a track while holding the shift button. You can also double tap shift to enable/disable it. The same behaviour applies to track solo. Thank you very much for your review!
