OutsComing Soon
Backing tracks out of an iPad — no laptop on stage.
For bands that run tracks: open your Ableton Live set on an iPad and every stem plays out its own output to the mixer, exactly in time. Studio mode for checking, Stage mode for the show.
What it does
- Opens your Ableton Live set directly — no exporting, no bouncing stems.
- Every stem out its own channel — up to 16 outputs to the board.
- Your set's timing survives the trip, tempo changes and all.
- No recording, no editing, nothing to fiddle with. It plays the show — that's the point.
