I'm very impressed by this video actually. Never owned a "button controller" but this one seems to be the exact right balance between the simplicity and functionality. For me Push kind of reminds me the nightmare of hardware synths programming from the old days. And I was extremely sold with velocity sensitive glide control with Launchpad Pro - compared to usually crappy MIDI knobs and sliders - I love the idea to be able to make controllable fast and precise adjustments with the button rows. The only request I have is a 16x16 version :)
if this is inexpensive like the rest of the launch stuff then this is a masterpiece of user friendly hardware. it's smaller than the apc mk 2 and I think it might even do more. and it's compact! perfect for on the go production. ...but man a step sequencer would seal the deal.
I wish push had features so easy to use as this. Most of the time Push just pisses me off. this is more simple and functional. And you cant freaking imagine how much i wish for a 64 grid drum rack with multiple colour zones. Yea, there is PXT-Live Plus, but im not making music while hustling with user manuals and remembering functions or coding. :/
SOUNTEC *sigh* you should know this if you have a launchpad..... For user 1 mode, you have the midi effect "velocity" which you can use to change the color.
I wish I had known that this type of controller existed before I purchased MPK Mimi, Arcturia Key Step and Korg Micro Keys. I've never felt comfortable using any of these controllers. I think the launch pad will be the solution.
Please add sustain/expression pedal control for next version. The only thing keeping me from using Launchpad exclusive is the lack of sustain pedal control.
why is there no step sequencer option for the midi addition? what's the point of playing notes from your launchpad when you can just do it on the normal keyboard which is a part of your synth? are there any launchpad users here who found a way to use it as a step sequencer? i have a korg ms-20 mini and the only thing that holds me off from buying the launchpad now is the step sequencer is the step sequencer that i would like it to be for my synth.
It's great to hear that you're considering a Launchpad Pro. That particular Launchpad is only available in black, we have never actually released a grey version. Perhaps the lighting or grading in our earlier videos makes them appear lighter? The only grey coloured Launchpad that we have ever released is the Launchpad Mini Mk1.
+Joshua Harland Launchpad Pro perfoms much like previous Launchpads, it just has more features and improved pads. Check out our other Launchpad videos for the basics.
Is it possible to control more than one synth using a midi interface like the iConnectivity mio10? Can we also do program changes? Is it possible to save multiple midi clips like in the ableton session view? ==> That would mean being able to get rid of the laptop for live performance one and for all.. .
Do you how to buy ableton live if I buy the launchpad pro? Because I don't want to spend 400+ and not be able to play it without getting the software which is like 600
If this is going to be cheaper than the ableton push, then i'm totally going to buy that instead of push!! :D There so many new features, that i was really missing fpr ableton live! Thank you!
i am still having trouble.. for some reason my brain is just not clicking.. can you tell me how do i access and activate the different instrument voices available in the launch pad pro? thanks so much.. and i like to do alot of live play improv..meaning i dont use the software all that much other then to activate my devixce
@raptorekpl yeah, the code is available in the midi remote scripts of ableton to do this. It's been in launchpad95 for a long time, I don't get why they haven't bothered
Dear Novation - Is it possible PLEASE to have 'Extenders' for the LaunchPad Pro? What I mean is, 8x8 RGB grids that could be locked together to make a visualizer or display (all controlled by Max4Live and the original LaunchPad Pro). Just the grid part, without the function buttons, interlocking. Imagine the lightshow you could put on with 2x2 or 4x4 of these in a grid, all controlled by Live! Drool!
Hi there, Have you seen Launchsync from Isotonik? it may be the solution that you are looking for: th-cam.com/video/SFlbKaH7bjw/w-d-xo.html Kind regards, John Loftus // Focusrite | Novation Tech Support
FocusriteTV Hi John, Thank you very much for that - funny enough Ive just bought the Ned Rush bundle from Isotonik but did not know about their Launchsync device! Thank you! The left and bottom of the Launchpad Mini should enable me to use 4 in a grid for visualization/light show (with a bit of fiddling)... hoping the RGB version may come in the future. Thanks again - cant wait to get a Pro!
MrBrgGreece There is a Max For Live plugin that includes a step sequencer in User Mode, but you need to buy Ableton Live Suite (which is very expensive) to be able to use Max For Live. The actual hardware does not have a step sequencer by default.
if u wanna get a very good controller and u know something about this kind of music , launchpad pro is the best ( i will start with it , i've done some exercise on my ipad with their own app : novation launchpad ) if you are new to this , the best choice is the launchpad , and if you want a smaller edition of the regular launchpad you can always get the launchpad mini altrough their very different prices they always come with ableton live lite and u have to buy ableton live intro (63€) / starter (279€) / suite (479€) if u want to ( to start the "lite" version is good ) :D ee u in the comments of other videos! -Alessandro ( one of the admins of this ITA channel )
It's great to hear that you're interested in Launchpad Pro! Launchpad Pro's pads feature full RGB feedback, velocity sensitivity and polyphonic aftertouch. They're firm but very responsive and allow for expressive, dynamic performances. I'd suggest that you go to your nearest dealer to try them out for yourself. They are different to those used on Ableton Push and all of our other Launchpads. You can find your nearest dealer here: global.novationmusic.com/stores Launchpad Pro can be used 'Standalone' - without a computer, to control external hardware and synths. Scale Mode can also be used in Standalone mode, making it a great choice if you're looking for a standalone instrument. global.novationmusic.com/launchpad-pro-scale-mode Best wishes, John // Novation UK 🇬🇧
Hello there. Been thinking about learning how to work one of these and i'm rather new with the whole idea of mixing music/clips is there anything that you would recommend anyone that is getting started?
+John Matter Are you aware of Melodics.com? melodics.com/ It's a learning resource for finger-drumming and the general usage of grid midi devices. I'd give that a go to get you drumming like a champ. After that, I'd work your way through this series: www.novationmusic.com/answerbase/launchpad-tutorial-part-1-setting-up Try those and let us know how you get on?
I mean, this is a pretty cool thing, but I think the only thing Novation needed to do was improve refresh speed, clean up the design of the Launchpad S, and put RGB lights. They could add a metronome and record if they really wanted too. This is doesn't even have a user mode for projects, which was a big reason people even buy launchpads. The buttons are velocity sensitive, so they don't press down.
MIDI out through a Mini PL plug is becoming a standard feature lately. Is it possible to have this both as an Ableton Live Set controller AND control an external synth module?
You can buy it with a copy of ableton live in one neat package if you want, since it's a novation product i'm fairly certain it'll come with a copy of ableton live intro
Most excited about the velocity sensitivity on the pads! I use Launchpad95 script with Ableton and that was one thing I really missed when jamming in the chromatic mode. How do the pads compare to the ones on Impulse line? If its anything similar then I'm stoked - I love the feel of those!
Essentially, Launchpad Pro's pads will continue to send out data while the pads are held down, which adds an extra dimension of expression to your performances. Common examples include adding vibrato or tremolo, or opening/closing a filter but you can control how plug-ins/hardware respond to the different types of aftertouch data. 'Polyphonic aftertouch' means every pad can have its own aftertouch amount. In other words, different notes will respond individually even when multiple notes are held. 'Channel aftertouch' means that one aftertouch value will apply to all held notes. More specifically, the pad that receives the greatest pressure will dictate the applied aftertouch amount. Please note that while most of Ableton Live’s instruments can respond to 'channel aftertouch', Ableton Live does not currently support 'polyphonic aftertouch'.
And why when I choose the "Note" mode, I turn on Polyphonic aftertouch, click on ONE pad and hold, then I click on the internal knob of my DAW "Link to controller", and I automatically tie to CHANNEL aftertouch? that is, when I click on another pad, knob changes its value. I turned on Polyphonic Aftertouch, I checked. Maybe something I'm doing wrong or it not works so? Or does Polyphonic Aftertouch only work with plug-ins that support this feature, and to use Polyphonic aftertouch, I just have to set a port in the plug-in and everything will work?
sooo... except a few obvious things what is the real difference to PUSH? I am wondering why NOVATION is getting into the business of Ableton and nevertheless they are producing a product to be used with ableton. Some coordinated market presence of those two manufactures would be the winning path. I really would like someone to explain the differences and give arguments why to use PUSH or LP.
Mental I could give you about 500 reasons. The launchpad is a little more than a third of the price of push, while maintaining a lot of the same functionality.
But, what about the good old user 1 mode? What will happen to all of these amazing project files? The only reason I would ever upgrade would be for the RGB lights, not for the added features. Essentially, this is an ableton push now...
Hi there, Great question, 'User 1' mode is essentially the same as the new 'User' mode. Your older Ableton Live sessions will still be compatible! although the clips & pads may now be a different colour due to the new RGB integration, they can be changed back to the same colour.
Sure, older projects will still work! The new RGB velocity values may produce different coloured clips / pads but this can be quickly changed back to how they were, if you want to, with velocity changes!
FocusriteTV But, is drum rack still usable for the user mode? The video makes it seem like it's only usable for note mode, and that to map sounds, you have to use midi mapping.
Anyone know if there is a max step sequencer for this? I have a great step sequencer for my original launchpad. Seems like a head to head comparison/competition with the Push. With a step sequencer it seems like the launchpad pro can do everything the push can.
That's right. The more recent Launchpad Pro [Mk3] has many features not found on any other Launchpad model such as a powerful standalone step sequencer, 8 customisable layouts, a standalone chord mode, fixed length recording, enhanced Ableton Live control and much more. Full details can be found on our website 👍
@@NovationTV Have you even checked my channel? Lol XD I meant Launchpad Pro MK2, I'm using your device since 2016 My LP Pro MK2 (which I'm using for almost 6 years) has white labels on it, Launchpad Pro from this video has orange ones Is there a difference, maybe it was first revision or smth. I'm just curious about this Also, open source firmware for LP Pro MK3 will be nice, as it is for LP Pro MK2
Ah, there may have been very subtle differences in screen printing but functionally these are all exactly the same. Have you explored r_cycle? That can be used to create custom tools and functions for Launchpad Pro [Mk3].
Hello , I am planning to get a novation launchpad, but I just heard the mk2 isn't able to connect to ableton suite.. I dont have a lot of money, so are the others (like this one) able to connect to ableton live suite?
you can connect th mk2 with suite. some people have had problems with their launchpad pros. I don't know who told you that mk2s don't work with ableton live suite
But... this means that (from my understanding) the drum rack is no longer for user mode, but rather for note mode... Therefore, this would render all previous launchpad projects unusable. Yes yes, you can still make projects like this, but you would have to essentially start from scratch... Is what I am saying correct? From my understanding you can only use midi learn mode to assign clips from session view to the launchpad buttons. Is the drum rack also usable for this application? Or is it only for note mode? If it's only for note mode... then this was a bad idea...
+Z.E.R.0 No, User Mode should work just as it does on older launchpads. Except, due to the new RGB lights, the colors of the light shows won't be the same (If your'e into that BS).
I wonder if they (or some other company) will ever build an HW control where You can read the NAMES of live clips and scenes (and not only colors) displayed on the pads (as it happens in apps like "Touchable" on iPad) ... This way, You really have no more need of watching the notebook screen in order to know "where you are and what You're doing" ... Speaking of live performances, in the case of a live a session with many songs to play, each one with its complex set of scenes and clips (intro, verse1, verse2, chorus1, chorus2, etc etc ...), You always need to watch the screen of Your notebook if You want to be sure about "the point You reached" ...
hey can you help I'm really upset i got a brand new launchpad mini tonight it just arrived i was using it making little crappy music cause I'm a starter but when i got back from going out for dinner i was planning to make more music but than 5 seconds into the session the launchpad freezes i updated the drivers everything nothings working i will sub if u can help me fix it

im new to launchpad pro can someone help me plz? although i watched the get started video that novation provides, i still dont know how to put track on the midi tap in Ableton live, there is no sound when i drag a file in the midi colum there is no sound when i tap the key pad on the launchpad

No problem!
@Rylan Monkey129 no
Thanks!
Excited to get to work with this machine
Thanks 🙏
Just got mine today. Good stuff.
This guy sounds like he's briefing me on a secret spy mission. Great overview.
How many times did he say "Launchpad Pro" ?
927402848
Voltapix you forgot one
Delta Razer LOL
Mc Fiszt GOD DAMMIT! You made me curious and i had to re-watch the entire video. He said "Launchpad Pro" 37 times.
+Dragic lol ikr

I'm just excited about the RGB LEDs to be honest.
great video!!! best product overview i've ever seen of novation - congrats guys!!!
BLUE LIGHTS, NEV YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!
XD
hey maat ook nl he ofnie
Mr Ribbled ja, niet een nederlander maar een belg :P
ik ga huilen nu:(
oh, nee! sorry! Hier neem een koekje!
THANK YOU NOVATION! You answered all of my wishes
if this is inexpensive like the rest of the launch stuff then this is a masterpiece of user friendly hardware. it's smaller than the apc mk 2 and I think it might even do more. and it's compact! perfect for on the go production. ...but man a step sequencer would seal the deal.
It's looking GOOD! Seems easier, prettier and cheaper than Push. Can't wait for the side-by-side reviews - but in the meantime, I'm tempted.
Excellent overview video and your music is fun to listen to also, thank you!
amazing video about this great produt. Thank you
This is soooooo good! Fair play lads!
Ehhhh i dont know....seems just like push to me. The buttons dont even push down! What fun is that!
I wish push had features so easy to use as this.
Most of the time Push just pisses me off. this is more simple and functional. And you cant freaking imagine how much i wish for a 64 grid drum rack with multiple colour zones.
Yea, there is PXT-Live Plus, but im not making music while hustling with user manuals and remembering functions or coding. :/
hi Voltapix!! Your light shows are great btw :)
true if your doing a project it might be more common to mess up because there sensitive
Official SVNKTUM Thank you ^^
The3RDdimension Haha yeah and I mess up enough already! XD
It's me ! Maaaario !
I thought of you too when I saw this!
you should get it for free xD
Zach Martin well i meant Launchpad Pro, but, if you want it for free, then ok. xD
Zach Martin xD
Zach Martin its ok lol
Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this helped me
Thanks for a great video!
More colors omg! :D
If I didn't misunderstand, you can make any synthetiser go polyphonic with device mode, right? Even synths that aren't polyphonic?
PLEASE, how can I reduce the light intensity of the Launchpad mk2 ??
is there a way to change it in ableton?
SOUNTEC *sigh* you should know this if you have a launchpad..... For user 1 mode, you have the midi effect "velocity" which you can use to change the color.
+SOUNTEC The light intensity of Launchpad (MK2) can't currently be adjusted.
wear shades
I wish I had known that this type of controller existed before I purchased MPK Mimi, Arcturia Key Step and Korg Micro Keys. I've never felt comfortable using any of these controllers. I think the launch pad will be the solution.
Awesome dude love this video
At last someone who tells you how it works instead of playing all the way through
great vid! this looks like an amazing development of the original.
Please add sustain/expression pedal control for next version. The only thing keeping me from using Launchpad exclusive is the lack of sustain pedal control.
Thanks for your feedback. We'll see what we can do about that.
why is there no step sequencer option for the midi addition? what's the point of playing notes from your launchpad when you can just do it on the normal keyboard which is a part of your synth? are there any launchpad users here who found a way to use it as a step sequencer? i have a korg ms-20 mini and the only thing that holds me off from buying the launchpad now is the step sequencer is the step sequencer that i would like it to be for my synth.
It was about time they made a new one
where do i buy a gunmetal grey launchpad pro? i only see them in early release videos, but in us, theyre all black.
It's great to hear that you're considering a Launchpad Pro. That particular Launchpad is only available in black, we have never actually released a grey version.
Perhaps the lighting or grading in our earlier videos makes them appear lighter? The only grey coloured Launchpad that we have ever released is the Launchpad Mini Mk1.
is it possible to hook up a substainpedal through the midi-in port on the back?
I think the most important thing to everyone was the RGB lights lol.
I want to know the very basics of the Launchpad pro and Ableton live 9. Is there a video for that?
+Joshua Harland Launchpad Pro perfoms much like previous Launchpads, it just has more features and improved pads. Check out our other Launchpad videos for the basics.
I've never been more bored watching a video about something I'm actually interested in....
Is it possible to control more than one synth using a midi interface like the iConnectivity mio10? Can we also do program changes? Is it possible to save multiple midi clips like in the ableton session view? ==> That would mean being able to get rid of the laptop for live performance one and for all.. .
Drinking game: Take a drink every time he says Launchpad Pro
(don’t do it)
Do you how to buy ableton live if I buy the launchpad pro? Because I don't want to spend 400+ and not be able to play it without getting the software which is like 600
No the Launch Pad Pro comes with Ableton Live 9
so you dont have to buy it seperatly
Great table! :)
definitly saving up for this bad boy
It would be perfect with a step sequencer that don't need max 4 live...such as ableton push
If this is going to be cheaper than the ableton push, then i'm totally going to buy that instead of push!! :D
There so many new features, that i was really missing fpr ableton live! Thank you!
This vid is gold!!
i am still having trouble.. for some reason my brain is just not clicking.. can you tell me how do i access and activate the different instrument voices available in the launch pad pro? thanks so much.. and i like to do alot of live play improv..meaning i dont use the software all that much other then to activate my devixce
It was too much to expect a step sequencer in there - some really nice features in there for sure though.
Classic launchpad with launchpad95 script does that
@raptorekpl yeah, the code is available in the midi remote scripts of ableton to do this. It's been in launchpad95 for a long time, I don't get why they haven't bothered
Yeah, that's more my point. You can use it standalone, but without a sequencer... They're shooting beyond the ableton / m4l market with this one.
Ben Scully i don't reckon it'll be too long before someone sorts that out...
Is it still possible to make light shows with this?
The new 'User' mode is essentially the same as the previous 'User 1' mode. It is certainly possible to create custom controls!
Dear Novation -
Is it possible PLEASE to have 'Extenders' for the LaunchPad Pro?
What I mean is, 8x8 RGB grids that could be locked together to make a visualizer or display (all controlled by Max4Live and the original LaunchPad Pro). Just the grid part, without the function buttons, interlocking.

Perfecf thanks very very helpfull !
I suppose this is EXACTLY what we all need for the ableton live.. Thanks novation. When can we buy it?
Should I get launchpad pro or launch pad
if u wanna get a very good controller and u know something about this kind of music , launchpad pro is the best ( i will start with it , i've done some exercise on my ipad with their own app : novation launchpad ) if you are new to this , the best choice is the launchpad , and if you want a smaller edition of the regular launchpad you can always get the launchpad mini
altrough their very different prices they always come with ableton live lite and u have to buy ableton live intro (63€) / starter (279€) / suite (479€) if u want to ( to start the "lite" version is good )
:D ee u in the comments of other videos!
-Alessandro ( one of the admins of this ITA channel )
Will this work with Bitwig ?
How does the pads feel?
Do they react more concise than push to velocity?
Oooo, Son Unos Launch Pads Muy Bonitos 👌Saludos
Hi NovationTV,
Will this Launchpad still work with Automap, so that you can control non-ableton based devices? Will that still be all Red?
Robert Chung I believe it will
How does the touch sensitivity and feel compare to the push2? I'm mainly interested in using it as a synth/instrument
It's great to hear that you're interested in Launchpad Pro! Launchpad Pro's pads feature full RGB feedback, velocity sensitivity and polyphonic aftertouch. They're firm but very responsive and allow for expressive, dynamic performances. I'd suggest that you go to your nearest dealer to try them out for yourself.

it is so much better than original launchpad S

Try those and let us know how you get on?
OK thank you. personal I'm fairly new with this and did not know about it ill give it a shot and see what turns out
+Jonathon Matthews how did it turn out, did you manage to play something?
I mean, this is a pretty cool thing, but I think the only thing Novation needed to do was improve refresh speed, clean up the design of the Launchpad S, and put RGB lights. They could add a metronome and record if they really wanted too. This is doesn't even have a user mode for projects, which was a big reason people even buy launchpads. The buttons are velocity sensitive, so they don't press down.
MIDI out through a Mini PL plug is becoming a standard feature lately. Is it possible to have this both as an Ableton Live Set controller AND control an external synth module?
I got to get one!
Probably a silly question but does anyone know if this come with a copy of Ableton Live?
You can buy it with a copy of ableton live in one neat package if you want, since it's a novation product i'm fairly certain it'll come with a copy of ableton live intro
it comes with live lite
Is it normal for 8 keys on my Launchpad to have small nubs?
That's right. 8 of the pads have tactile markers for easy navigation without looking at the pads.
Most excited about the velocity sensitivity on the pads! I use Launchpad95 script with Ableton and that was one thing I really missed when jamming in the chromatic mode.
How do the pads compare to the ones on Impulse line? If its anything similar then I'm stoked - I love the feel of those!
Very similar to push.
Very interesting the external midi control has me curious I wonder if you can assign midi cc to it in some way!
So the user mode is great for creating lightshows? OK.
So you show the send function only addressing 3 sends, can the LP Pro address more than 3 sends? It sure looks like 8 would be possible to me
*PLEASE TELL MORE ABOUT AFTERTOUCH!!!*
Essentially, Launchpad Pro's pads will continue to send out data while the pads are held down, which adds an extra dimension of expression to your performances. Common examples include adding vibrato or tremolo, or opening/closing a filter but you can control how plug-ins/hardware respond to the different types of aftertouch data.

Or does Polyphonic Aftertouch only work with plug-ins that support this feature, and to use Polyphonic aftertouch, I just have to set a port in the plug-in and everything will work?
The watch he's wearing. What is it? I must know. Also is it under 3,000 USD? I want to get one for my my dads birthday.

I want to know too !
Hi,
this new controller in drum rack have a repeat to create beat same push ?
no aftertouch ?
a new Launchpad? im Fucking need it!
Is that a wrist watch on the right hand?
He could be left handed.
I'm a producer im looking to buy this product. if you have this launchpad please let me know why should i buy this?
You can have the step sequencer like the push on the launchpad pro?
is it possible to adjust the glide speed sensibility to make it even slower?
Although I dig the RGB LEDs and all that, this really takes away the simplicity that the Launchpad and Launchpad S had
does this one have the features to also do hip hop and soul mixes?
But, what about the good old user 1 mode? What will happen to all of these amazing project files? The only reason I would ever upgrade would be for the RGB lights, not for the added features. Essentially, this is an ableton push now...
Hi there,
Great question, 'User 1' mode is essentially the same as the new 'User' mode.
Your older Ableton Live sessions will still be compatible! although the clips & pads may now be a different colour due to the new RGB integration, they can be changed back to the same colour.

Sure, older projects will still work! The new RGB velocity values may produce different coloured clips / pads but this can be quickly changed back to how they were, if you want to, with velocity changes!
FocusriteTV Wooow!!! Can't wait to buy that!!
FocusriteTV But, is drum rack still usable for the user mode? The video makes it seem like it's only usable for note mode, and that to map sounds, you have to use midi mapping.

Anyone know if there is a max step sequencer for this? I have a great step sequencer for my original launchpad. Seems like a head to head comparison/competition with the Push.
With a step sequencer it seems like the launchpad pro can do everything the push can.
why is there no overview video from the Launchpad MK2? :)

I just realized that old Launchpad Pro has orange labels on it, but later version has only white. Is there a difference between these two?
That's right. The more recent Launchpad Pro [Mk3] has many features not found on any other Launchpad model such as a powerful standalone step sequencer, 8 customisable layouts, a standalone chord mode, fixed length recording, enhanced Ableton Live control and much more. Full details can be found on our website 👍
@@NovationTV Have you even checked my channel? Lol XD
I meant Launchpad Pro MK2, I'm using your device since 2016
My LP Pro MK2 (which I'm using for almost 6 years) has white labels on it, Launchpad Pro from this video has orange ones
Is there a difference, maybe it was first revision or smth. I'm just curious about this
Also, open source firmware for LP Pro MK3 will be nice, as it is for LP Pro MK2
Ah, there may have been very subtle differences in screen printing but functionally these are all exactly the same.
Have you explored r_cycle? That can be used to create custom tools and functions for Launchpad Pro [Mk3].
Does it have the scale selection for the notes like ableton push?
Hello , I am planning to get a novation launchpad, but I just heard the mk2 isn't able to connect to ableton suite.. I dont have a lot of money, so are the others (like this one) able to connect to ableton live suite?
you can connect th mk2 with suite. some people have had problems with their launchpad pros. I don't know who told you that mk2s don't work with ableton live suite
I WANT IT FOR CHRISTMAS
But... this means that (from my understanding) the drum rack is no longer for user mode, but rather for note mode... Therefore, this would render all previous launchpad projects unusable. Yes yes, you can still make projects like this, but you would have to essentially start from scratch... Is what I am saying correct? From my understanding you can only use midi learn mode to assign clips from session view to the launchpad buttons. Is the drum rack also usable for this application? Or is it only for note mode? If it's only for note mode... then this was a bad idea...
+Z.E.R.0 No user is essentially like the older user 1 and projects will still be usable
+082 097 121 ASCII Thank god i just got one for christmas :) i had a mini before.
+Z.E.R.0 No, User Mode should work just as it does on older launchpads. Except, due to the new RGB lights, the colors of the light shows won't be the same (If your'e into that BS).
I don't know how to get the drum rack in note mode or the chromatic one
Release date???
I wonder if they (or some other company) will ever build an HW control where You can read the NAMES of live clips and scenes (and not only colors) displayed on the pads (as it happens in apps like "Touchable" on iPad) ... This way, You really have no more need of watching the notebook screen in order to know "where you are and what You're doing" ... Speaking of live performances, in the case of a live a session with many songs to play, each one with its complex set of scenes and clips (intro, verse1, verse2, chorus1, chorus2, etc etc ...), You always need to watch the screen of Your notebook if You want to be sure about "the point You reached" ...

Is there an exact release date for it? :/
I have the launchpad pro and i use Unipad in a LG K10 7.0 and i cant use him. They dont respond
This thing won't do any of the stuff he's doing (on my pc anyways) so- please tell me what kind of pc you are using so I can do all that
Do you need a special speaker hook up it does the pad it self have a microphone
Push 2 has a mic, this doesnt. It plugs in VIA usb, so whatever you use on your computer for sound, itll use that (headphones speaker etc.).
im new to launchpad pro can someone help me plz? although i watched the get started video that novation provides, i still dont know how to put track on the midi tap in Ableton live, there is no sound when i drag a file in the midi colum there is no sound when i tap the key pad on the launchpad
