Full Report snipped due to post length restrictions

Good luck…forums have been ghosted. No developer responses for quite a while.
Unfortunate. Incredible software.

Ah… Fair enough. Guess I’ll have to look for alternatives.

With Tahoe, touchable has reached the end of his story. Three years without any update, they could only decree its extinction. Before updating to macOS 26 I will think about it for a long time, and in any case I hold on to my old 2011 Intel Mac, in which Ableton Live 10 and Touchable still travel like Verstappen & Red Bull. What is unbearable is the silence on the part of Zerodebug: not even a statement, two lines to say that the development of the app has been closed, and then, two words of thanks to all those poor deluded who trusted, and founded their way of interacting with Ableton Live, through this fantastic controller. A tip for a decent alternative, it could be “Blue Tooth Midi Controller Pro” on the App Store. I mapped live 12 and it works; of course, it’s a generic midi controller, but I can easily do a jig with it. If it will be further developed (It just came out, vers 1.0) I think it could be a valid alternative.
