  • Follows your selection

    A custom control surface script points Skym at whatever device you select, like the knobs on a Push. No MIDI learn.

  • Instruments and effects

    Bring touch to your favorite instrument and effect racks, and design interactions around the sounds and plugins you already love.

  • USB or Bluetooth

    Plug in or go wireless. Skym doesn’t make sound on its own: it plays the Ableton you already know.

“Skym has undoubtedly changed the way I perform, produce, and connect with people. The most simple sounds lead to hours of exploration.”

Chuck Sutton
Artist, sound designer, educator
