Map parameters in your Ableton Live set to unmapped sliders on the tablet with a single touch. No need to enter and exit a mapping mode. Access every parameter in the currently selected device, directly on the phone or tablet.

Parameter mapping configuration is saved with your Live Set, so you can switch between songs with minimal friction. Track, device, and parameter names are kept synchronized with your Live Set as you change them, even track colors!

Parameter sliders and values are updated in real time, with the same units (e.g. dB, ms, %) displayed as what you see in Live. Double tap a slider on the tablet to reset the parameter to its default value.

Swipe in the Navigation controls on the right side to dive into your tracks, groups, racks, and devices faster than ever before.

Swipe in from the left to show a channel strip with familiar mixer controls, including color-coded sends.

Works on phones and tablets, even in multi-window view on the latest IOS 26.

Knobbler is there to keep you out of the computer and in the creative moment, unlocking more of your music making potential.

User Reviews

this is literally the best ableton live control app !! thanks
by ma*****, 2026-08-19

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.
