while loop plays your song and you have the possibility to select one of the signal
samplers any time you want. You can remix and any processing you want: just a
loop, songs full when dj-ing or even in real time between a remix scene a group of steals.

Product easy to use. Excellent to work with Ableton Live. It can also adapt to any software with a function steering noon.

I use it for 2 years and it really is a good investment for any user of Ableton Live.

I have several more classic midi controller (fader / knob) but it was really the missing piece to my set up.

I like being able to switch to USER1 or USER2 to use features like MIDI keyboard. This provides another approach to the game live.

I also use it on other software, its not really oriented (Isadora, Pure Data or Processing). It lacks a power to make autonomous and use with hardware.

The Novation Launchpad is a USB MIDI control only for Ableton Live, it has a 64 button set up that call are back lit. It can be used with either PC or Mac. It connects to your computer via USB, that is the only way it can connect. There are not audio ins or outs. This unit is pretty light, I would say it only weights about 2 pounds or so, and when you purchase it comes with a copy of Ableton Live 8 now. I have used this for a few months before selling it because I just was not a fan of the workflow of Ableton itself. But the Novation Launchpad really did give an amazing amount of control with Ableton. I used the Launchpad to control my mixes and also as a trigger function for audio clips.

It does come with a manual, that I don’t think was very good. I learned how to use it and all of the functions basically on my own and from watching tutorials online. The manual was very confusing and to “wordy”. I will say that if you don’t already use Ableton and love it then don’t buy this. That is the mistake that I made, I purchased this because I wanted to use it, and not Ableton. You can not use this without using it in Ableton.

The price of it is very affordable and it is a great device and I can see why anyone who is an Ableton lover would buy it. But it just wasn’t for me. It was very difficult to set up and understand and the manual was horrible. It would be better if it had some fader sliders and some sort of transport controls. Also if they could make it a more versatile device that can be used in multiple software programs that would change everything for me. I think the Novation Launchpad is a must have for someone who loves Ableton, its just not for me.

I use the launchpad for a little over a year. This is the first of its kind controler I tested and I joined the first contact!
It is light, the use is simple and intuitive and the net is full of forums, videos and tips and tricks of all kinds to evolve rapidly.
Support on ableton is done automatically (I think), the navigation mode session on all tracks and clips is simply the reactivity is super nice and user mode I discovered (only now!) Is simply excellent!

What I like most is the intuitive side of the product and have everything at your fingertips!
What I like the least, or rather what I think it is less effective control and other volumes to me is not at all suitable (coarse and independent modes and user session, impossible to treat the same time as your live. Anyway nothing dramatic and it depends on the use of each)
So, finally I would do this again but probably purchase a lower price.

How long have you been using?
About 2 weeks

Did you try many other models before buying it?
I had a Trigger Finger M-Audio, but did not suit me to trigger clip Live8

What is so special that you like most and least?
Plus: fully adapted for Ableton Live and Traktor trigger Hotcue in reduced size and for mobile use
Minimum: Not yet found, perhaps a wider range of colors to suit the pad color clips Live8

How do you rate the quality / price?
Given the opportunity to bargain (70 euros) ratio is perfect!

With experience, you do again this choice?
Without hesitation, unless the APC20 APC40 or cheaper, but then I doubt it!

I use it for more than 1 year, with ableton live 8 on my imac
I also have a APC40
The two machines are different although they can do similar things
The advantage of the launchpad is his user1 tab, which allows to control ableton with the drums rack with twelve o'clock proper routing to send messages noon drum rack track to the launchpad, you play the pads with a rate , was recorded, the light is replayed on launchpad.
The best way to understand all the possibilities of programming is still to look on you tube, everything is there, complete with tutorials

What I like most: control of drum rack, usb power, lightweight, compact, rugged, plug in play for basic functions, value for money saw interesting possibilities
What I like least: I'm still looking
I do not regret my purchase, and even though I would take another considering the price!!

What I love about it, it's the design, I really love what Novation did with its interface and how they managed to put something quite original for Ableton users.
The price overall is quite great for the product, those 64 pads can make a huge difference in your mixing, they can really boost your creativity on a whole new level.
This pad controller works pretty great in launching clips and samples on time, it has the possibility to connect up to 6 Launchpads at a time (which is completely great and unique).
The reason why this pad is so great it's because how well it fits with Ableton Live program, it doesn't require a source supply, only a usb connection.
Also you can work in Session View either Arrangement View, which is quite handy, the
multi-color 64-button grid provide instant session overview.
This pad can be used to create grooves, racks, creating beats and triggering samples in real time, you can even make it work as a midi controller,creating custom MIDI maps with 72 of its buttons transmitting either CC or MIDI note data, so you can basically play with this pad and create melodies.

Connectivity type: USB, it doesn't require a power supply.
It's compatible with Windows XP or Vista, Mac OS X .

Another great thing you can do with Novation LaunchPad is to control the volume, paning, amount of sends, muting, and many other cool features.

Without a doubt, this pad makes the musical process seem much more fun and creative, with its use you can create some great trance groove and even melodies.
I really like the feeling of the buttons and the way they respond to the command.
I would buy and rebuy this product, I really think it makes a huge difference for Ableton users like me.

The Novation Launchpad combines elements of a mixer, a sequencer, and an effects rack all in one 64 button pad designed to interface with Ableton Live. As I mainly use Ableton I'm not sure whether you can program it to work with other DAW's, but the interface with Live is one that is very flexible and easy to learn. If you are one for triggering clips, the Novation Launchpad is certainly for you. After the samples, midi files, etc. are triggered - indicated by the corresponding button lighting up green - there are infinite ways of manipulating the signal thanks to the User 1 and User 2 interfaces, which are completely customizable. I'm fond of setting one user interface to automap effects in real time while leaving the other as my "solo" instrument, wherein the buttons act as a keyboard. On top of this the Novation Launchpad is the lightest, most compact, and surprisingly the most durable piece of equipment I have had the pleasure of using. My issues with the launchpad are simple: the keyboard scale is easy to figure out but is difficult to master coming from a standard piano background, the quantization settings for audio vs. midi clips are a bit confusing, and the buttons aren't the best replacement for faders. For the price however, this isn't a bad buy. In fact it's a very good buy compared to Ableton's other hardware interface, the APC-40. Just be ready to practice, practice, practice if you see yourself doing an entire set on this device, and maybe have a separate mixer on hand to get a more precise fade.
