Description

Touch control for your Ableton devices. Skym is a MIDI controller app that allows you to control 4 parameters of your Ableton devices at once.

Simply download the app, and install our Ableton script on Mac, and you can connect over USB or Bluetooth to perform expressive sound design. Our free starter Ableton project has some sounds to get you up and running.

Skym sends 4 parameters at once. X, Y, Speed (how fast your touch is moving), and Gate (flips on and off with touch). These parameters automatically map to macros 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. Combining these layers of control on synths, samplers, effects, gives you access to instant variability and interest in your sounds.

Note Skym is a controller and not a sound generator, so the app does not make sound on its own. We only support connection and integration with Ableton on Mac.

Mac OS must be 10.11 or later
Ableton must be 11.0.0 or later

Must-Have Sound Design Tool

4 bucks unlocks an incredible world of sound design possibilities to whoever uses this app. Control any combination of synth or FX parameters with the tip of a finger. Use it to twist & mangle synth sounds, easily perform textures into productions, record subtle or absolutely off-the-wall crazy automation runs, make fast and intuitive mix moves, and so much more. The only limitations to this app are in your imagination.

Surprise yourself with new sounds and scarily expressive performances. Thought your synths were powerful before? Add Skym in to the mix & suddenly you’ll be scoffing at your old arcane methods of modulation. Skym lets you play & hear what you feel *right this second.* There’s seriously not a more intuitive, fluid, and responsive MIDI app or device that gives you this kind of control. Its elegant simplicity on the surface betrays only a modicum of the depth of possibility that lies below.

Don’t even think twice.

Unleash your full potential

Exponential creative earnings are awaiting your every second. This app approaches sound design in a truly one of a kind fashion. Touch activation and organic kinetic expression you’ll find sounds that you would have never dreamed off. Watch a bunch of the videos and just experiment with it to get the hang of it. Truly inspiring software which isn’t something you find often.

Skym is a game changer!!

This app allows you to essentially turn your iOS device into a macro controlling chaos pad with an amazing X,Y,Z axis system. You can map multiple parameters in your daw and easily control them with the swipe of a finger. 10/10 highly recommend
