Novation Launchpad: Who's Pad?

Novation Launchpad Gear Review

Novation surprised everyone by bringing out an Ableton Live dedicated control surface. Like Akai's APC? Not really, and obviously not at the same price. Read more…

    I use the launchpad since last August, and I'm could not be more happy because in fact it is convenient you can stroll around with is, it's also very intuitive one quickly takes in hand, However, it is a bit limited by its simplicity because its lack can when even a knob.

    A device with ease of use has been neutered by the intolerance of its software. Too bad, then I do not have time to make a patch Max / MSP in order to get something out of ableton.

    Potential in reserve ...
    I have no doubt that it serves a lot to others, but it does not come I my needs.

    I use the Launchpad for one or two years before leaving in his corner. The device is too small for intensive use.

    It allows the Clip Launch the rest of the functions is not really usable.

    I almost since its release with Live and I still use it regularly. It has become an indispensable tool for me to play synchronized loops with my other machines or to trigger quickly recording patterns I play keyboard.

    I see it as a necessary extension of Live which allows you to completely disregard the computer when I play.

    Overall awesome.

    Super fun and intuitive. A midi controller comfortable, very light and strong.

    Little less: No velocity, pressure buttons not super ergonomic

    Essential

    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.

    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    I have 2 years

    I tried APC, Beringer BCF2000 controller etc ...

    the +
    the price and the different possible use (ableton controller, midi key, mixer) and the ergonomics and size the weight

    the -
    no pots and navigation page (if it takes 2)

    value for money ecxelent

    I probably would buy (a good think the APC40 if you can afford it)

    Good Device, I just dont like Ableton

    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. …

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 used this pad for 3-4 months, it works very very well with ableton (this is used by "have" to make Madeon Live (associated UCevolution a controller)
    Many buttons and large sizes compared to Akai (pimples).
    Very easy to use, installation Ableton (8.2.2 minimum) very intuitive.

    Effective to make precisely Live, but no interest in composing, this is also why I am separated.

    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!

    So, finally I would do this again but probably purchase a lower price.

    Used for 3 years.

    Interface first bought when I started on Ableton Live.

    +: Ease of use, ergonomics, durability

    -: Navigating between different modes, although it gives a lot of opportunities, demand a way to juggle live impractical and imprecise (volume, balance, effect sends limited to 8 levels)

    good quality / price ratio

    In the same situation I remake the same choice. Today, with other demands on my needs live, I'd rather to a more complete interface in terms of direct controls.
