Euchman « Classy, fun and efficient. »
Published on 12/27/11 at 01:56I used the LaunchPad for several months, even though I got it in March 2010. Indeed, when I got it, I had trouble using it because the Launchpad comes with poor instruction specs of only 4 pages. I gave up trying to understand how to use it at the time. Although, I knew the potential of the Launchpad, so I tried looking online for tutorials, which have helped a lot. Now I am enjoying the Launchpad very much, and know how to use it.
The Launchpad is very classy, the different LED colors are fun and very useful. It is solid and does not take up much space.
It is also very efficient, the DIFFERENT modes are complete. It allows you to maximize the mode session of Ableton Live. The User mode allows you to play a "drum kit" and the 64 buttons are enjoyable to play without pads; other suface Controllers may be more efficient (but more expensive).
Because they have designed it to be programmable, it allows you to be more creative.
Please note, buttons are not velocity-sensitive, and (....translation from French here uncertain).
In addition to the use of songs to play Live, Launchpad Mode Mixer is a very good control surface for editing or mixing in your DAW, like muting or soloing tracks very quickly, without the use of the mouse).
Attention, Launchpad can also CONTRL effects, but with eight pads to make "crossfades", it is not very precise. If you want CONTRoller effects, I recommend The series Novation Nocturn (keyboard 25, 49 or more or single Controller with knobs), which compliments very well the LaunchPad.
One of the main advantages of the report is Launchpad quali tprix: It was worth and even more than its price. I highly recommend those who do not want to invest in expensive high-end gear.
(another thing to note, is that the LaunchPad does not come with its cover, and this is inconvenient. You can find this cover 10 euros on "sound-universe")
