![]() Although most audiences will see his extravagant light setup – The Cube – as the main achievement in his shows, us music producers may be just as impressed with his custom-built performance tool, OSC/Pilot. In the last decade, deadmau5 has been continuously pushing for new ways to make his live show a memorable experience. This app is the reason I have an iPad Pro.” Features: It’s not truly tactile, and using a glass surface for a controller isn’t for everybody, but other than that, I have no quibbles about this at all. The Device control is outstanding, and the ability to view two modules together is the icing on the cake. Also, it doesn’t exclude the use of hardware controllers alongside it, such as Push or APC40, or whatever else you have. We said: “TouchAble Pro is easy to configure, fast to use, and engages with the software like nothing else. However, it’ll also function as a very capable hub for your hardware rig, which is a real bonus. Throw in faders, pads, CV and an arpeggiator, and it has you covered for most of your Ableton Live needs. This might be the best Live keyboard controller around at the moment, with an onboard eight-track sequencer, semi-weighted keys, aftertouch, and additional visual feedback from on-key RGB LEDs. Even if you’re a software diehard, this is another way to think about presenting live music, especially if you experience the occasional option paralysis that comes bundled free with every DAW.” Features: It’s a great prospect for anybody interested in creating or performing using music hardware. We said: “The Force is so enjoyable to use – we’d happily put it to work for song sketching, sampling, jamming and live sets. Push integrates with the updated Simpler instrument to create more of a hardware-sampling experience from Push itself, you can browse and load samples into Simpler and view and interact with the waveforms.” We said: “This is a whole new, enjoyable experience and it’s something that we are far more likely to use for composition. Plus, in the latest Live 11 update, new features such as visualisations for new devices, keys and scales and polyphonic aftertouch support have been added. There’s zero setup time and you’re instantly armed to play instruments,launch clips, and use the knobs to tweak instrument and effect parameters. The truth is,Push does such a thorough job out of the box, you need a clear reason not to use it. ![]() ![]() Push is available bundled with any of the three versions of Live – Lite, Standard and Pro. Many pick up the Live/Push combo on day one of their musical mission. And don't forget the Touch Ring, which gives you quick access to your favoured commands and tools.Push is the de facto controller for Live. The tablet supports multi-touch gestures (pinching, swiping, etc), and its shortcut keys are fully customisable, allowing you to assign them the photo editing functions of your choice. It's highly sensitive stylus and tactile surface are a perfect combination for professional editing, and Bluetooth and USB connectivity make it easy to boot the device up and start editing your images, whenever, wherever. The drawing surface is big enough to make photo editing a pleasurable experience, but not too big that it's too bulky to carry around. However, as an all-rounder, in terms of price and performance, for us, the Wacom Intuos Pro Medium comes out on top. The Wacom range is extensive, and so it will depend on skill level and what budget you have that will determine which one is best for you. When it comes to graphics tablets, Wacom's range is up there with the best of them (evident in our round up of the best graphics tablets for photo editing (opens in new tab)).
