Product Information

Ableton Live Lite 11 – quickly organise and arrange your sounds and start making tracks with this staple electronic-music-making software.

XLN Addictive Keys - Access one of four virtual keyboards when you register your first piece of Novation or Focusrite hardware. As part of the Live Loops and Launchpad Pro [MK3] experience, you can trigger cells from the grid, navigate projects easily, and get hands-on with producing and performing in Logic Pro. Chord Mode makes it easy to explore different chord voicings and harmonies, and trigger them right from the grid. Even the original Launchpad provided an instrument-like feel, allowing you to play notes and trigger drums, but the Launchpad Pro MK3 seriously ups the ante. Plus I've not even gone into the midi controller template aspect which is something else I plan to look at.it works great, but if youre like me and you dont have extensive experience doing this sort of stuff in live, you might find the lack of linear documentation to be frustrating. Unquantised Recording lets you record into micro steps for off-grid beats, and you can perform and record sequences with more expression than before. The key combos for many hidden functions can be easy to forget, also; which has required me to keep the manual within easy reach. Cells can contain one-shots, loops, MIDI patterns and automation data, and can be dragged and dropped or recorded live into Logic’s tracks area, to build song arrangements quickly. I realise only 4 tracks and 32 steps but I'm only looking for a jamming or sketching tool anyway, but will it record the MIDI input from an external keyboard exactly as I play it?

I might reduce the length of this track and will enter the steps in step mode so they are regular, or have it ready to go from a template. Powerful Four-track, 32-step Sequencer — Create full tracks with Launchpad Pro's built-in sequencer, featuring eight-note polyphony, pattern chaining and scenes to create and trigger longer sequences, and probability and mutation controls to keep your tracks evolving. Launchpad Pro’s velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads are bigger and more responsive than ever — perfect for playing grooves and launching clips.I’ve done freelance sound design work for Ableton Berlin working on MPE sounds for Drift, Wavetable, and Sampler. Tracks three and four are set up as two synth voices, with the possibility of different lengths and speeds to create interesting rhythms, sometimes changing pattern lengths live. With Launchpad Pro [MK3] as your Live Loops controller, use cells to sketch out arrangement ideas, fast, and record your performances. Create quickly with Note and Chord modes and record directly to cells, then mute, solo, record arm and stop tracks.

I end up with more music actually recorded because of the reduced friction to get something recording, which is nice. You can directly record to cells in Note and Chord mode and then have further control to solo, mute, record arm or stop tracks. Novation LaunchPad Pro Mk3 Controller for Ableton Live An all-singing, all-dancing Ableton controller with MIDI connectivity, USB-C bus power, a 32-step sequencer with 8-note polyphony and much more. I plan on recording and mixing guitar as well as using the built in synths and drums in case that influences anything. Update: I've now updated the quality rating as my first Launchpad had an issues with pads self-triggering after a month of use and my replacement has noticeable pads discoloration.Get started easily — use Novation’s easy start tool to get all the software you want, and step-by-step video guides to get you set up with Live and making music in minutes. For people who’ve experience with both, are the Ableton gains of the Push 2 worth having over the LP Pro?
