Liine & Livid Announce Hybrid Control for Griid — Ableton Live Controller for iPad
Griid is the professional Ableton Live controller for iOS devices – iPad, iPhone & iTouch – made by the developer Liine.
Liine's Griid and Livid's Code are making lovely music together.
Liine has just announced that is has teamed with Livid Instruments to create a new kind of Ableton Live control experience: what they’re calling Hybrid Control, where Griid software and Livid’s Code hardware can now be linked as a single controller via free scripts.
According to Liine, this hybrid control concept represents an innovative new combination of multitouch control and hardware. The Griid app, a fluid and reliable clip grid controller for Live, costs $9.99, while the beefier Griid Pro is $24.99. Meanwhile, the cost for Code is $449.
For more details on this controlling convergence – and a contest to win a setup for yourself — read the info straight from Griid:
“So what does it mean? Griid software and Core hardware working together to create the ultimate in hands-on control for your Ableton Live sets.
