Note : 8 sur 10
« Very satisfying! »
Published on 04/17/14 at 18:08I used the S Launchpad for 4 months, I later sold to purchase a home AKAI APC 40.
I had not tried to Launchpad or other products from Novation.
It is very easy to use, it includes its configuration instantly ... it's Live at your fingertips!
We launch clips, scenes, we can handle the volume of tracks, Sends, thanks to the panoramic MIXER mode which is very convenient.The USER mode is very effective: It has the ability to play drums for example, and save-the-fly live.
In addition, the S version which lit pads have a more vivid color, and the feel is very nice. Launchpad even comes with skins for FL Studio (I do not use) which is designed for users of this software.
What I like most about this product is its ease of transportation, use, and quality workmanship. The USER mode is awesome and the interface is very well thought out! Indeed, Novation had the good idea to set slip pad under the controller. I bought it with cover for storage, it was perfect.
What I like least is the lack of faders or knobs. Obviously, the S Launchpad does not claim to be an "all in one". For a more complete controller that manages more features, better to turn to an Akai APC 40 or at home Livid Instruments CNTRL; however, this is not the same budget. Managing the volume could be a little more specific in the MIXER section: the volume is managed by leaps 6DB and nothing else.
In conclusion, the S Launchpad is a handy controller, well thought out, versatile and well built, the price is attractive!
PS: The Launchpad S is essentially dedicated to Ableton Live, although skins for FL are provided, it is with Ableton Live controller that can express all its qualities background!
With hindsight, I would definitely do it again the same choice, Novation has pulled it off!
