Patchworks says that Conductr is an app that musicians and DJs alike can design according to their specific needs: it features several different modules to control Ableton Live and Traktor. And it keeps growing with the regular release of new ones.

A spokesperson said, "Both the Ableton Live and the Traktor controller interfaces have been designed to provide producers and DJs with a different kind of experience: one that makes sense on an iPad. For Conductr, it is not about mimicking hardware or desktop software on the iPad, but to develop a new way of interacting with music."

Conductr is a freemium app. You can download a trial version for free. Here's more details direct from the designers:

REQUIREMENTS:
• Ableton Live 8.2.6 or higher (for Ableton users).
• Traktor 2.5.0 or higher (for Traktor users).
• Mac OSX 10.6 (10.7 for USB connection) or higher
• Windows Vista or higher with iTunes.
• iPad / iPad Mini with iOS 7.0 or higher.
• Original iPad Connection cable (Apple made or Apple Certified-MFI) when using the USB Connection.
• Server software (free download at conductr.net/downloads).

Conductr and Ableton Live
The Conductr Ableton Live modules are specifically designed to control your Ableton desktop software through a unique, 100% mobile-oriented user experience: no nested menus, no tiny knobs. They are fast and user-friendly. And you can even perform without looking at the iPad using the Gestural Mode!

Conductr's current version features 5 different Ableton Live control modules: Master, Clips, Mixer, User Modules (including the XY-4D pads) and the Claydr MIDI Keyboard. All of them are available for free as a trial version. You can in-app purchase those you like the most or the full pack.

Conductr and Traktor
The Conductr Traktor controller module lets you perform with up to four decks and customize your interface in the fastest and easiest way possible. Each deck features 3 different view modes to make your djing experience unique: Player, Mixer and FX.

Conductr's current version features one Traktor control module available for free as a trial version. You can in-app purchase it to get unlimited use. Just as the Conductr Ableton Live features have grown and will continue to do so, the Conductr Traktor side will progressively expand with new modules.
