Description

LK is a flexible remote control application for use with music software and hardware, providing a wide range of features and functionality to enhance the production and live performance of electronic music.

LK offers tight integration with Ableton Live using our free UBRIDGE desktop application, providing access and control of Ableton Live projects, with both wired and wireless connection options. LK has extensive MIDI capabilities too, allowing for communication and control of any MIDI compliant software or hardware, even apps running on the same device thanks to virtual MIDI support and AUv3 integration too.

LK is split into six unique modules, each available as a separate in-app purchase, offering great value that you can tailor to your specific needs.

See what’s inside:

MATRIX
- Control almost every aspect on Ableton Live, clips, tracks, devices and much more with MATRIX. You can also sequence MIDI hardware and software with the MATRIX module in MIDI mode. This powerful module has a built-in clip launcher and composer. It allows you to create multiple tracks and scenes and play clips in sync with time.

PADS
- Get the MPC feel on your touchscreen with PADS, featuring an arpeggiator and a chorder. When working in Ableton Live mode it automatically maps drum rack pad names to each pad on the app - never miss a pad again. Use it in MIDI mode to quickly play other synth apps.

CONTROLLER
- Extensive control of 128 parameters with CONTROLLER. Use knobs, faders, buttons and pads to control MIDI hardware, desktop and mobile DAWs - now with the power of AUv3 integration too.

X/Y PAD
- Three dimensional parameter tweaking with X/Y PAD. This module can work with CC or NOTE events. In CC mode, a CC can be assigned per axis. In NOTE mode, X is pitch, Y is velocity and Z is Note ON/ Note OFF.

CHORDER
- Play chords like you have never played before with the CHORDER module. Use this chord generator to build chords and lay them out according to your needs.

KEYBOARD
- Keyboard features a 3-axis expression capabilities. It is fully customisable to scale and keyboard range. It also allows the possibility of mapping any Live or MIDI CC parameters to be controlled by the position you play in each of the keys of the keyboard thus providing additional expression to the performance of each note.

LK is also capable of connecting with USB MIDI interfaces which allows you to interact with external gear.

To connect LK to your host computer you will need to download and install a free software utility called UBRIDGE on your computer. It is available for Windows and OSX and it can be downloaded from Imaginando website.

MI HA RUBATO SOLDI

RodrigoBorda on

Il problema è che l’ho dovuta disinstallare per problemi tecnici e una volta reinstallata mi diceva che dovevo pagare nuovamente MATRIX, cosa che avevo già acquistato precedente. The problem is that I had to uninstall it due to technical problems, and once I reinstalled it was telling me that I had to pay for MATRIX again, which I had previously purchased.

Perfetta ! Ma Controller da migliorare

OpenSource+ on

Complimenti per la logica implementata da questa splendida app, funzionale, efficace, essenziale, intuitiva e produttiva. Andrebbe certamente migliorata la pagina Controller, pena la non usabilità se non per scopi prettamente ludici. In pratica andrebbero fornite le funzionalità Pick-up ai controller in modo da non far saltare i parametri da un valore all’altro bruscamente. Inoltre sarebbe utile che lo stato attuale ed i movimenti dei controller assegnati da Ableton fossero rispecchiati anche in Lk, infatti adesso è solo a senso unico, da Lk ad Ableton ma non viceversa. È importante perché se si cambia manualmente qualche macro direttamente in una traccia instruments in Ableton e poi magari si torna su Lk durante una performance, non avremo una chiara e reale situazione delle macro dello strumento midi assegnato, e mancando una funzione pick-up o value scaling, appena toccheremo un controller avremo dei balzi improvvisi da un valore all’altro, rendendo il tutto un vero disastro sia per la performance sia anche per i monitor ahimè. Spero che riusciate ad implementare queste funzionalità in Controller, non ho altri suggerimenti costruttivi al momento. Grazie ancora.

Molto utile

Per Live e non solo!

With latest update lk isn’t the same

andreacrisante on

Same problem in combination with ape matrix and Aum, after few minutes working with no more than four channels playing, lk doesn’t show layout. Music go on but the window associated to lk seems to be totally empty. The only fix I found is save and restart but same issue in a couple of minutes. Please I can’t imagine music without Lk!

iPad 7 non funziona

jspino1 on

Purtroppo dopo tanti tentativi non funziona

UPDATE: It’s getting better

Jumpingflash on

Metronome and timing is much better, glad to see it is improving. Thanx to the developers for the hard work. One thing I really miss: midi program change (bank and program change) for the tracks, in order to memorise external gear sounds used per track. You never know you could add this. If it is there, I cannot find how to use program change for external midi instruments. Keep up the good work. ———-OLD REVIEW——— First of all I have purchased this app both for stand alone sequencing and for controlling Ableton live. For both tasks it is either buggy or really limited. For standalone sequencing: why do you continue to add features and bug fixes when the most basic thing in the sequencer does not work: the METRONOME! You arm a track, you want to record and...the metronome is all over the place and NEVER starts on beat with the clip. Not a single time. If this was a free app, I would understand and skip... but this is a paid app and the most basic thing is not working. How is this remotely usable? Moreover, freezes and glitches when using external midi devices are constant. Unreliable at this point for any serious job. For Controlling Ableton: There are really basic functions available, even deleting a pattern is cumbersome and it lacks basic Live functionalities like the control of all the pattern parameters (program change above all but all those in that area). It crashes more often than not even in Ableton live control mode, just randomly. The idea is nice, the actual product is not. I would ask for a refund but instead I hope my small contribution can help the developers make this a really usable app. It is not recommended in the current form.

Molto razionale

Estend Dodman on

Costruito secondo una logica razionale. Sensibile su iPad lo uso come arpeggiatore e synth. Ben fatto.

Compatibility issues with ipad air 3

Zamboos on

The screen is unproportioned, there are buttons that can’t be seen. I bought the controller but i can’t assign any parameter in live mode. The assign button doesn’t work.

so happy

I love this quick and intuitive app.

Insufficiente

polauster68 on

Anche una ottima applicazione, completissima con tante belle e nuove funzione, li devo dare un voto di insufficiente per i seguenti motivi: non ci hanno pensato ad esempio alla funzione che invece aveva il suo predecessore di poter interagire con altre app, al momento che passi ad un’altra app lui perde la connessione col DAW e tocca re.inizzializzarlo, un grande svantaggio sotto il punto di vista dell’Utility, perché se ad esempio Io voglio interagire con l’Animo come lo posso fare con altre superficie di controllo non posso, o uso l’ LK o uso le altre app, secondo la mia opinione molto sfortunata sotto quel punto di vista. Inoltre i tasti e la vista edizione e troppo piccola per gli smartphone, sicuramente sarà una sborata sull’iPad. Devo dire che come controller midi funzionan da Dio, l’ho provata col Cubase e assegnando i fader a quelli del Cubase riesci a controllare tutta la DAW, quello è un punto favorevole. Altre piccolezze svantaggiate, quando cambi di ottava su i pads non ti dice in che ottava sei, fastidioso se devi utilizzare drum-machines o altri VST e ti devi muovere per le ottave fin che non trovi quella giusta. L’X/Y pad non ho finito di capirlo ancora, ha come delle funzioni di automatizzazione ma non riesco a trovarle il senso a questo, e poi per ultimo per concludere con in contro, per il contrario del suo predecessore, non si gira in verticale, ciò che faceva nel LIVKONTROL poter godere di una vista un po’ più ampia e confortevole. Questo è e qua, direi che non vale tutti i soldi che costa considerando che ogni modulo lo devi pagare da 10€ i l primo fino a 5€ tutti gli altri, e certamente se lo prendi lo prendi completo altrimenti non ha nessun senso, secondo me massimo dovrebbe costare 10€ il tutto. Saluto e spero vi sia utile questa recensione.
