Grip vs AbleSet Connect

Grip is the missing app for Ableton Live. This app requires Grip Desktop to be running on the same computer as Ableton Live. Download that app first at www.gripforlive.com. Stay in creative flow with Grip: Remote control Ableton from anywhere in your studio, bedroom, or battlestation—at your synth, in the vocal booth, or from the couch. Grip connects to your computer over Wi-Fi as a native Live control surface. No MIDI mapping required. Stop running from your mic to the computer, or having to play guitar near your computer. With Grip, you can literally use your voice to say "record" and play directly into Ableton Live. Keep Grip with you at whatever instrument you're playing, to play, record, undo, redo, and even save from your phone or tablet. TRANSPORT & RECORDING • Control Live with your voice • Play, stop, record, and overdub • Undo and redo • Preview and record into scenes • Quickly loop between sections of your song in arrangement • Pre-roll recording before your locators • Toggle metronome • Save your project from your phone • Change volume • Arm, solo, and mute tracks MIXER & NAVIGATION • Record & launch clips, move and copy them between tracks and scenes on the session view • Jump to locators • Launch scenes • Scrub through your arrangement with your finger • Switch between session and arrangement view • Mixer controls for volume, sends, pan, and arm/solo • Insert, duplicate, or delete tracks or scenes • Rename locators and scenes MIDI PIANO & DRUM PAD • Built-in piano for playing notes into Live • Push-like drum pad for playing notes or drum kits • Requires the Mac version of Grip. (Windows support for MIDI forthcoming.)

AbleSet Connect is the native iOS and iPadOS app for AbleSet. Connect to AbleSet running on your computer over your local network and run the full AbleSet web interface in a clean, full-screen experience built for the stage. The app discovers AbleSet hosts on your Wi‑Fi using Bonjour and opens your session automatically. AbleSet runs edge-to-edge in a dedicated in-app browser. Your settings are remembered across different hosts on the same network, so switching between machines on your LAN does not reset your preferences. Links to other local hosts stay in the app; external links open in Safari when you need them. Your screen stays awake while you are using AbleSet, so the display does not dim mid-show. You can optionally hide your device's status bar when you want a cleaner stage view. AbleSet Connect also exposes native device capabilities to AbleSet: screen brightness control, battery level and charging state. Additionally, connect USB or Bluetooth MIDI controllers to your iPhone or iPad and forward performance data to AbleSet on your Mac over the network. Optionally bridge MIDI to Apple Network MIDI (RTP) for tighter integration with your Mac and other gear on the LAN. Requirements - AbleSet running on a Mac on the same local network (AbleNet enabled, or updated AbleSet with dedicated companion discovery) - iPhone or iPad with iOS 17 or later - Local network access (used to discover AbleSet and, when enabled, network MIDI)
