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.

NEW: Track Width
* Mixer, Session, and Clips pages have a new Width button in the toolbar. Long-press it and *without lifting your finger* slide left to narrow the track columns or right to widen them. Range is 50%-200%.
* New Scroll Lock setting (Setup > Mixer): when on, a fader drag on the mixer page can't slip sideways into an accidental left/right pan.
