Troybox

A pocket groovebox for your phone, tablet or TV. Sketch beats and sample sounds anywhere, then sync them straight into Ableton Live.

Released November 6, 2026

Troybox is a groovebox for practically anything with a screen and an internet connection. Capture an idea on your phone the moment it shows up, then pick it up in Ableton Live without exporting, emailing or re-programming a thing.

Three parts

  • The app runs in the browser on phones, tablets, computers and TVs.
  • The sync server keeps your sketches in step across all your devices.
  • The Live device, a Max for Live device, syncs sketches into Live and back again.

What you can do

  • Program beats on a step sequencer with per-step pitch, ratchets and conditions
  • Record samples with your device's mic, then trim, loop and slice them in the Lab
  • Design sounds with built-in synth models
  • Mix with volume, pan, mute, solo and effects per track
  • Launch clips and scenes, and jam with performance effects
