Learn how to make a GOOD launchpad light show! In this video I share 2.5 years of tips, tricks, shortcuts, and overall knowledge of making launchpad light shows. Hope you enjoy! What tutorial videos do you want to see next?
InspirAspir So when I have ableton life light and i buy max for live for 100$ or sth...can I put the light effects (made in piano roll ) on the keys or it still not work and i really need to buy ableton suite....because it is very expensive and i didnt want to crack :D thank you very much :)
InspirAspir This is a great video for beginners who are just getting into launchpad. I new most of this (since I bengewatched your videos) but there were some tips that were really cool like the acceleration. Awesome video again.
When you said at 3:22 that you can hold buttons on your launchpad and click the arrow key on your mac laptop it will write them. What's the key for Windows laptop?
In this, you talk about controlling the "brightness" of most of the colors to fade in or out. What parameter is "brightness" in Ableton? I know that changing the velocity changes the actual color value; is the point of what you were saying that there are often three different velocity values that produce the same color, but at different intensities? Or is it different from velocity altogether? Thanks for the great tips!
Sorry for the confusion! What I meant to get across was that each launchpad has 3 different velocities for a given color, there is no brightness parameter. For example, with the Launchpad Pro, the velocity 5 corresponds to a bright red, 6 corresponds to a medium brightness red, and 7 is a dim red. So as you said, "is the point of what you were saying that there are often three different velocity values that produce the same color, but at different intensities" - is exactly correct. Hope that helps!
InspirAspir perfect! I had been wondering about that even before this vid. Thanks for the practically instant reply and the awesome video! Subscribed and watching for more
Hey great suggestion! I've been suggested this once before and I have wanted to do it since, but now maybe I'll have to bump it up on my priority list ;)
If you hold the session button and go to either legacy or programmer mode (purple or orange), change your launchpad output to port 2in the preferences, arm the midi track and put in a midi rack with a velocity tool inside, it should work. I had this same problem, hope it gets solved ;D
Btw It is true that its possible to purchase max for live separately on Ableton Standard but not on Intro and Lite. It says this in the max for live description.
Inspiraspir i have a question that i want to know very much.So you have a velocity sensitive buttons on launchpad pro.How can you delete this function because when i want a loud sound i have to smash my button and it makes a very loud noise. Thank you
Press the button in the top left corner of your launchpad pro (as seen in this video: th-cam.com/video/JG5WAmidfxY/w-d-xo.html , around 7:47) Then while holding this setup button, look at the third row down on the left. There should be three blue buttons in a row followed by a white button. These are your velocity sensitivities. I believe the ordering goes High, Medium, and Low velocity sensitivity (I may have this reversed, don't quote me on that 100%), followed by the white button, which is off. So to fix your issue, you could toggle it to off, or maybe low if you want a little bit of velocity sensitivity. But it sounds like it may currently be at high, and you can change it to anything except for high. Hope that helps
I've never used a TV, but I have put a mask on my recorded launchpad light shows (that is, essentially remove the background from my videos through editing) and then overlay the edited launchpad video overtop background footage
why the notes on the piano keys don't light up on my launchpad when I play the clip? I think something is wrong with my launchpad's device settings. PLS help
Try the following: under the name of your MIDI track, click the drop down menu and select "None". It most likely currently says Mixer and you see a red horizontal line throughout your MIDI track. When this is the case you can't right click on your track when this is active for some reason. So assuming this is the problem, if you change it to "None" that should fix it for you :D
+XxFuriousTigerx Geometry Dash oh sorry about that! I misread and thought you were asking how to insert a midi clip, not a midi track. My bad, glad to hear you figured it out anyways 😊
How to actually launch the light effect by pressing a button? I managed to map the lights but I can't figure out how to assign that specific effect to a button. Any help would be appreciated!
Dont know if you will see this, but when I press the right arrow key it will not draw in the note, and i have the headphones thing on. Do you know what this could be? edit-I was being dumb, clicked the wrong headset icon.
I feel like I’m following all of the steps correctly. However for some reason when I play the light-show it acts “glitchy” does anyone know what I’m doing wrong I’m so confused. Update: I was told I had to update the firmware and it worked in case anyone runs into the same problem.
Shorten the selected lights by half? There is a button that does that for you, I have another (bit older, but good enough) tutorial covering how to change the speeds of your lights you can check out here: th-cam.com/video/pqaMfRcDiJg/w-d-xo.htmlm7s
InspirAspir I mean like highlight 1 group of midi notes and then then highlight another group of notes and then both groups are highlighted or is that just a thing on Mac and btw thank for replying and I love your my way lightshow
By that I just mean your cursor could either be used as a pencil tool, which is used to draw in notes at the click of a button, or a selector tool, which allows you to highlight notes by clicking and dragging to create a box. You can switch between these two modes by pressing the 'B' button on your keyboard
Hey nice video 😄 I have a question 🤔 Are you going to make a tutorial on how to make a music video like you do on your songs? I'm having some problems with after effects and I don't really know if it is the right program for making spectrums... Sorry for disturbing and for my English XD Really hight quality video!! Keep on with that hard work
After effects is an excellent piece of software to make music videos and visualizer! I use it all the time. However, it is expensive and has a VERY steep learning curve. I would only recommend it to people who want to dive in and spend a lot of time getting good at using after effects.
its easy, create for tracks (LL, LR, RR, RL) and first L/R means set input as Left or Right launchpad, the second L/R means output. Do the lights you want to be triggered by the left and be displayed on the left in the track LL, triggered by left and display on right on LR, and so on, hope i could help

Make a tutorial for beginners on how to get started!
InspirAspir So when I have ableton life light and i buy max for live for 100$ or sth...can I put the light effects (made in piano roll ) on the keys or it still not work and i really need to buy ableton suite....because it is very expensive and i didnt want to crack :D thank you very much :)
i pressed :2, and there was a duplicate that showed up 33 measures after. do you know something about what to do with that?
InspirAspir This is a great video for beginners who are just getting into launchpad. I new most of this (since I bengewatched your videos) but there were some tips that were really cool like the acceleration. Awesome video again.
I don't quite get it. Can you still split up the song that you already made the lights to, to play, or is it just pressing the play button?
!Windows Buttons!
Copy and drag: Hold down Ctrl
Change the color: Hold Alt and drag up or down
Select multiple notes: Hold Shift while selecting
I already know how to do lightshows, but in this video i learned some useful tips that i need! Very nice tutorial ❤️
Quest' uomo è fottutamente ovunque.
Could you teach me how to do a simple lightshow
Back at it again with being 100 percent specific. Better to be too specific than not specific. TYSM

love this type of video
InspirAspir I have a challenge for you. Do a light show without ever touching the launchpad to preview the lights!
Hey great suggestion! I've been suggested this once before and I have wanted to do it since, but now maybe I'll have to bump it up on my priority list ;)
InspirAspir Cool! I hope to see it in the future!
Has this happened yet
Inspir is self handedly bring up the ability of the whole community lmaoo
Thank you now I know how to make light shows! Thank you so much!
3:20 I don't have the lights when I press in user mode (on mk3 mini), any idea to fix, please?
If you hold the session button and go to either legacy or programmer mode (purple or orange), change your launchpad output to port 2in the preferences, arm the midi track and put in a midi rack with a velocity tool inside, it should work. I had this same problem, hope it gets solved ;D
My launchpad mk3 is not lighting up, what mode are you on??
Will you help me??
You can use Ableton Lite for light show using pitch etc
Whoa, this guy made speed ramp effect in launchpad, thanks pal!
Btw It is true that its possible to purchase max for live separately on Ableton Standard but not on Intro and Lite. It says this in the max for live description.
Gotcha. Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it :D
When you’re stuck with Ableton live lite, ARGGHHHH ITS SOOO EXPENSIVE INJUST CHECKED
crack it* cough cough xd¨*
i so feel u bro
ikr lol
@@EiRA-hiE-x which is probably the reason y I gave up lol
I could buy 2 new launchpads for that much wtf
Been watching for a while ever since I got my launchpad keep it up man your videos are so helpful
how do you resize the keys on the piano roll? The ones indicating where the light will show up on the launchpad
Im coming back to this 4 years later now that I have ableton suite
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH
Good for you XD
Kempsys XD
Is it possible with the launchpad x?
Nice video. Thanks!
So you don’t need suite for this? Even lite?
Come on inspir you always upload when I'm in class but I want to watch it now ;-;
is there any tools to turn images into lightshow and or staright up pixel animation?
InspirAspir How do I change the notebrightness like you mentioned?
Yes you do need to buy max4live separately in Ableton Standard. I have Standard and MIDIExt and MIDIFire so I would know :)
Thanks for clearing that up, really appreciate it
I use FL Studio 11......is all this possible using FL11 w Launchpad MK2?
Does this work on a lanchpad mini and ableton live lite
Edit: the lights turn on but they do not turn off again!!???
Oh, just make a small midi clip that lights up then turns off every light
what app are you using?
Do you need m4l?
can i do anything with the lights from logic?
Is there another fast way to make light FXs with Ableton Lite???
Inspiraspir i have a question that i want to know very much.So you have a velocity sensitive buttons on launchpad pro.How can you delete this function because when i want a loud sound i have to smash my button and it makes a very loud noise. Thank you

Hope that helps
is there an easier way to adjust velocity in the modified clip?
what versions of ableton are applicable for launchpad???
I really like your tutorials!
Hello, I'm using Ableton Live 9, and I don't know how to get Midi clip, like in your video, Shift + M doesn't work.. :(
How do u add tv in the background?
SVBBS well, if you're reffering to what kaskobi does, he literally puts the launchpad on top of a tv on the floor XD
I've never used a TV, but I have put a mask on my recorded launchpad light shows (that is, essentially remove the background from my videos through editing) and then overlay the edited launchpad video overtop background footage
InspirAspir btw, you should teach us how to do that, it'd be super cool to learn :P
InspirAspir plz do!!!
why the notes on the piano keys don't light up on my launchpad when I play the clip? I think something is wrong with my launchpad's device settings. PLS help
Why tf when i use asio4all, i have no sound on other program than ableton
How do I add it to a button
very informative 👍👍👏👏👏
Whenever I right click (2:36) I don't see insert MIDI track. Please Help! :D
Try the following: under the name of your MIDI track, click the drop down menu and select "None". It most likely currently says Mixer and you see a red horizontal line throughout your MIDI track. When this is the case you can't right click on your track when this is active for some reason. So assuming this is the problem, if you change it to "None" that should fix it for you :D
Thanks So Much! Im a big fan. :P
Ohh i just realized. I was supposed to click it in an empty space. *facepalm* lol
+XxFuriousTigerx Geometry Dash oh sorry about that! I misread and thought you were asking how to insert a midi clip, not a midi track. My bad, glad to hear you figured it out anyways 😊
Oops. I said track. I meant clip.
Thank you so much this has helped me so much
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!
My Lightshow god 😍❤
How to actually launch the light effect by pressing a button? I managed to map the lights but I can't figure out how to assign that specific effect to a button. Any help would be appreciated!
Omg this is gonna be so useful 😊
i wanna know what is the diffrent between light that made by max4live and ableton and ableton only
Dont know if you will see this, but when I press the right arrow key it will not draw in the note, and i have the headphones thing on. Do you know what this could be?
edit-I was being dumb, clicked the wrong headset icon.
yoooooooo you used my light show, that's amazing
I loved it, you did an absolutely phenomenal job on it
It's a perfect example of a good light show
TerraBlaze thanks lol
Nice tutorial!
You do great videos and lightshows.
But why you don't have any video on your channel that explains how to work in session mode?
7:32 alt in Windows
How do i add a Lighteffect i made to a button?
I feel like I’m following all of the steps correctly. However for some reason when I play the light-show it acts “glitchy” does anyone know what I’m doing wrong I’m so confused.
Update: I was told I had to update the firmware and it worked in case anyone runs into the same problem.
Thnx to learn me im a beginner ❤️❤️❤️
How I can change the color of the buttons? (I use Windows 10)

gold_elio Press & hold ALT Key, then click on the Button in your Piano row and move your Mouse up/down to change the Color (Velocity)
Nice Works InspirAspir :)
well done👍
I have a lauchpad X
The lights won't work with the MIDI settings you said to apply
3:04 ON... ON... ON lol

what select button 6:35

You can switch between these two modes by pressing the 'B' button on your keyboard
How to make 0save please
My man that song in the background is lit it's my song brother
You never explained how to actually turn down the brightness of the lights, how do you?
Everything works.... but not the lightning....
Ok , i need to explain, When i click play the lights don't show up? What should i do?
Everytime I try to do something I think it won't be good: it's not good, but, most times I try something I think I'll be good, neither does. *[ XD ]*
Hey nice video 😄
I have a question 🤔
Are you going to make a tutorial on how to make a music video like you do on your songs?
I'm having some problems with after effects and I don't really know if it is the right program for making spectrums...
Sorry for disturbing and for my English XD
Really hight quality video!!
Keep on with that hard work
After effects is an excellent piece of software to make music videos and visualizer! I use it all the time. However, it is expensive and has a VERY steep learning curve. I would only recommend it to people who want to dive in and spend a lot of time getting good at using after effects.
how to make a nice little fade on 1 button..like a little rainbow: im only able to add like frames but not a fade
or what a about a full fade like when i connect the launchpad to my computer
My samples arent making any sound, and i made sure every thing needed was on, can anyone help?
I dont get how to have a already saved lightshow project to play I need help
Even though I'm pretty experienced with this stuff, those things you said at the end were really inspiring to me.
Why is this so hard, I do exactly the same as you but it doesn’t happen
Well I have the ableton suite though.......
how to do this in bitwig
Okay so I tried this with my MKII and every time I draw the notes, the notes draw, but nothing happens on the Launchpad.

Nice work though

Don't kid yourself, you guys motivate me to put out videos. Appreciate your support
show us how to make a project with 2 launchpads
its easy, create for tracks (LL, LR, RR, RL) and first L/R means set input as Left or Right launchpad, the second L/R means output.
