Grip: Control Ableton Live
The essential remote control
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Grip is the missing app for Ableton Live.
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.
This app requires Grip Desktop to be running on the same computer as Ableton Live. Download that app first at www.gripforlive.com.
