Published on 03/19/12 at 23:55How long you use it?
I've had a little less than a year.
Did you tried many other models before buying it?
Not
What is so special that you like best?
The assignment of individual color to each pad and the automatic connection with Live 8
The same can be used up to 6 launchpad at once!
What is so special that you like least?
The pads are not velocity sensitive
How would you rate the quality / price?
Excelling! It is much smaller than the models of Akai (APC20 & APC40 reference).
the pads are very Strong!
With what program do you use?
Ableton Live 8, Pro Tools 10, 2 Traktor Pro, Virtual DJ, FL Studio, Kontakt 5, Guitar Rig 5
Torq2.0
Comment:
I saw a youtube video of the product and I saw that the controller twelve o'clock had great potential so I have procured one and I really have not been disappointed! At first my choice was the Akai APC 40 but it was too big and cumbersome to use I wanted to do!
Djing for:
Ableton Live 8
needless to describe the capabilities they are all present on the site of the Novation Launchpad page.
very convenient for the production and DJing with Live 8 because it is small and therefore one can combine several (launchpad) at the same time.
Pro Tools 10:
*** I do not know for other versions of Pro Tools ***
I find it very useful to use the different features and tools included with the Software.
When launching Pro Tools 10 if you Automap it will start to use Launchpad. I'm still studying the capabilities of the Launchpad with this app ...
With Traktor Pro 2.0 Try Absolutely! : P
I use my launchpad with Traktor Pro 2 for Djing and has excelled as different color can be assigned to the pads and / or use of pads as indicator lights for us given pointers status of a deck. For example if loop mode or is assigned to an Hotcue Hotcue 3 (example), also very convenient to set the BPM of a deck (with a flashing LED).
It is very convenient when using samples, can be assigned one play for each sample given the huge number pads.
by calculating functions quickly with "Change" (up to eight I think) and a little patience [lol] can be assigned up to 640 function actions. Yes good I hear in advance who will tell me "What is it for to have so many?" With nothing but to show the potential of the machine!
Another useful aspect is being able to select between "Toggle" or "momentary" for each pad, very useful when the assignment as Hotcues.
very useful if you have a system with DVS Time Coded Vinyl or CD.
You will not want to go after you customize your own setting noon!
With Virtual DJ:
Warning: we must have downloaded the software firewall before called Automap available at Novation. And recreating the shortcuts "shortcuts" of VDJ deck can be controlled and any functions that have been assigned to the computer keyboards.
With Kontakt 5
very very very useful for the use of percussion instruments although he still lacks the velocity: S
With Torq 2.0
I discovered by accident that it was compatible with Torq and it was a great discovery because it helped get rid of the mouse! Already the program Djing is not compatible with all DJ Controllers market.
With experience, you do again this choice?
Yes definitely! I expected to have some cash to buy me another one because more would not be too many! ** Can be used in up to 6 at a time!
