Published on 05/21/14 at 13:52In fact, I use only DAW mode via Mackie control method for Ableton Live:
track selection,
mute, solo these tracks
play / stop / loop / record
AC works by pages 8 tracks with feedback LEDs to activate or not the parameter in question, nice.
The rest is lousy because it is not programmable via the utility not terrible, so I am using not Effector mode (via MIDI Control Change 2 pads, one pushing up the value of a parameter assigned, the other by lowering the value = 2 controls column pads 24 assignable controls so that the changed value is displayed, rather original way by the backlight pads. Ultimately, it is less a potentiometer / encoder thus completely useless.
Drummer mode is not terrible either, ca sends Note On a priori intended to trigger sounds / samples genre but MPC pads are small and hard, so it's boring, so it's blah. I do not use it.
DJ mode, which I use occasionally to trigger clips in Ableton, wander through the columns and trigger scenes using the dial is nice but limited to 16 or 17 rows of clips / scenes so for this function, a better launchpad I think.
Ultimately reduced to a basic sequencer controller, it makes the priest a little expensive but it is portable and very strong (hard plastic, quite heavy)
I do not know if I remake this choice but I must say that even down to the use of only one quarter of its functions, I use it routinely for this function just: play / pause / loop / rec + selection 8 tracks by 8, mute, solo.
