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.

Would give 5 stars but…..
I want to use only controller but the fact I cannot save my settings makes it unusable as I have dial in the settings every time I fire up LK.
Such a shame because it’s really easy to use and in some respects better than TouchOSC.
Matrix Rocks
It’s definitely the best app for iOS
Innovation in a App
Great little clip launcher for Ableton Live style workflow. Tons going on under the hood. Very handle tool to get a song going quickly in AUM using other instrument AU,s. Looking forward t ok it’s successor BAM hitting the streets very shortly.
Sick of the spam
Whilst working, why am I getting spam for your other elements to this product? I’ve paid for this. Stop spamming!!
Holding Judgement
I have just purchased this app. And so far getting used to it’s particular way of working. So far, the clip renaming tool does not work for me. I click on it and no input keyboard is active internally or externally. Also the app has crashed (though it did bring back a recovery state when I relaunched in AUM.) But just felt like it couldn’t cope with 5 simple tracks? I am still evaluating but have been forced to buy the app because the activation prompt deliberately gets in the way far too much when you are actually trying to evaluate before purchase.
If the developer can advise me on why I can not rename clips and the any tips on the glitchy timing I’m getting that would be great. running on new IPad Air 5.
Thanks, I will happily update my review as appropriate.
No sound coming out on my end
When I decide to use the app itself, as I’m trying to play some notes, nothing is coming out at all for me even when I have a midi file imported! Is this an issue anyone else is having or am i doing something wrong? Just to note, I don’t have any MIDI controllers to use it with so that could be the reason…
Bridges the gap between two worlds
So glad I finally picked up lk and unlocked it, lk does a fantastic job of replicating a massive amount of abletons workflow when used inside of a host like AUM, paired up with a launchpad pro mk3 and a midifighter twister it’s a near perfect workflow for me..
In the short time I’ve been using the devs have been super responsive to feedback and suggestions and have implemented some of our wishes in a matter of days.. kudos guys, it’s very much appreciated..
SO GOOD!!
Most iOS sequencers leave you frustrated, wondering why the developer released an incomplete app.
LK isn’t like that. It is feature rich and a joy to use!
The best MIDI controller - at least for me
This app combines what I would expect from an excellent MIDI controller - sequencer with the clear “short sighted people friendly” Imaginando UI design. Not to forget friendly support. Worth every penny.
Slick, powerful and well supported
Extremely well designed/written, easy to use (intuitive), super stable app that offers plenty of control without suffering from a cluttered interface. I use the matrix (midi) module in a few different contexts and it really does the business, plenty versatile (especially when it comes to midi interactions, both in and out). Furthermore Imaginando support has proven to be uber responsive and helpful. Regularly updated with bug squashes and feature updates, this app is a real winner.
