Thanks for this mate. I just picked this up on black friday and i'm loving it so far with ableton. You're giving us a complete rundown for free. Gotta respect that.
In chord mode, if you save a couple chords and then you change the scale of the notes on the left, do the saved chords change to the new scale or the stay the same as they were saved?
Man, All of the information like how to set up the buttons to play clips and in general how to get started you say will be talked about in a bit but is never talked about. This is a good video I am sure for people who know how to set this up and are in the industry but sadly I am not that person and I am having a difficult time finding videos on how to do that. Any links to some very basic videos on assigning clips to screens or tracks and explaining the set up would be greatly appreciated.
Seems most of these videos, they just plug it in with Ableton open and it syncs, and they are making music, seems pretty straightforward and very easy imo
I have a question about the chord mode, what is the range of notes displayed on the grid when you are in the chord mode, is it 5 octaves? or in other words can you only use the notes within 5 octaves when you are building a chord? or can you use other notes by using the octave change button while still building the chord?
Hello! Is it possibile to change the track in which I use chord in standalone mode or is it locked to track 1? I’m not able to use chord on other 3 tracks 😅
Great video, my only complaint is you made me make my mind up even before I got to the part I really am interested in the step sequencer mode, a great tutorial/user guide but damn you that is going to cost me money!!!! :) Going to watch Pt 2 now.
Hello I’m completely new to this software and launchpad as a whole. I’m having trouble plugging in sounds on the apleton software and have that sound reflect on the launchpad. I’ve tried to watch many videos on how to solve this And I’m quite confused. Pointers please ?
So if you're in chord mode with a scale of A minor the preset triad single button column will play A minor, B Diminished, C Major, D Minor, E Minor, F Major, G Major? Don't you think it's weird in chord lock mode that you play the chords with the right hand and the melody with the left hand? Seems awkward. Sequencer seems really cool on this product but would have liked to have seen 8 tracks.
Yes and you can add a second note to get 7th chords also 😃 What is weird is that in chord lock, you play notes with a vertical scale, while in notes mode, the scales are horizontal... The best would be to be able to go back to notes modes, with the two right columns reserved to chords
For anyone who has had the launchpad pro mk2 and the launchpad pro mk3, should I upgrade? I soley use ableton for music production. Need honest opinions!!
I am having a problem with fx sends on the LP P mk3. The second send button lights up correctly but does not switch to second fx send values on the 8x8 grid pads when engaged. So I can only control one send. Did you have this issue?
Not sure if you can help but - no MIDI clips are recorded when I attempt to record. It will play back the sound, but no clip appears in ableton. What am I doing wrong?
i personally find useless the orange column in chord mode. Maybe i'm ignorant, but would not be more useful an extension of all the left pads in that place?
Chord mode isn't working straight out of the box. None but a few of the notes are in the layout. The chords work with what notes are available. How to fix this?
The big price difference is of course a big plus especially for those that don't need all of the Push features. However, two more major advantages are that the Launchpad Pro Mk3 can be used standalone to control hardware without a computer, and for me the biggest advantage is that it's much more portable.
@@peterbsims Good points raised by @Tony2dH there. The second part of this video will feature the standalone sequencer aspect of the Launchpad, which is a significant part of this unit that the Push 2 doesn't quite compete with.
Hi how can I do a project file on this launchpad mk3 pro? I managed it on the old launchpad pro, but on the mk3 pro I don't know what to set and how to set it. can you explain it to me, or can you make a tutorial there?
Launch Pad can be used for Octapad patch changes by midi settings??? by midi this setting is possible??? launchpad and octapad connection is possible by midi setting???? launchpad is only used for ableton software???
Hi GetInTheMix Loving your content on all your reviews. I'd just like to know if, Launchpad mini Mk3 has arp function, or note repeat for drumbs, spesifically for closed high-hats, and how to activate the function please? I am blind, so if it can be activated manually on the launchpad using a shift shortcut, great, but if it has to be activated via the computer, that will also work. I'd just like to make some sweet hiphop and trap beats with cool high-hat patterns, on a launchpad mini MK3 please. Thanks, stay awesome and stay safe #GetInTheMix #GettingThroughLockdown
Thank you for your kind comment, glad you've been enjoying the content. The LaunchPad Mini does not have an Arp or Note repeat function. These are found on the Pro model or the LaunchKey Mini MK3 which is in a similar price bracket to the LaunchPad Mini, making them a good combination. All the best :)
Big shoutout to the camera crew who filmed the touchpad. Just the right amount of exposure to ensure none of the colours on the pads are visible whatsoever, almost rendering the entire tutorials completely useless.
I've only used it in standalone mode to drive my Korg Wavestate. It seems to add a quality to the sound that the keyboard alone doesn't do. I can't describe it but it's there.
ok so it seems it doesnt work. in Launchpad Pro you had 32 scales! and now in MK3 you got 16 scales. the Custom Mode is a disaster? how can you e.g. add 16 more scales with all root notes? it seems to be not possible and the custom mode page is a disaster, adding notes you have to drag and drop 64 note widgets seperately and for each scale and note? im sorry but this is a bummer and total disaster if true, i hope you got a solution i dunno and would love to hear if you have one :)! novation seems to really not describe this well or not have a solution
I don't have a Launchpad yet. Which scales did you need? I noticed no lydian, and Locrian! I want to have the keyboard in B locrian so its laid out like the natural notes on my 6-string bass. I had a go at putting it into the online editing program, and it's a bit tedious. But it looks like it'll work just fine... I figure i'll only have to make 1 custom layout.
Part 2 covering the sequencer is out now! Watch it here: ruclips.net/video/-iyj_1Xy9WA/видео.html
My son wants this for Christmas and now I see why. Great video and my son will be so happy when he unwraps his presents 🎁
I have a Novation 2011. I like very much and to be sale in Brazil.
Thanks for this mate. I just picked this up on black friday and i'm loving it so far with ableton. You're giving us a complete rundown for free. Gotta respect that.
Happy to help! Nice one grabbing it during the black Friday sale, it's a great tool to have 🙏
Just the perfect amount of dry humour and effects to match.
great video but very hard to see the colours on the launchpad
This helped so much! Best guide I have found so far
Looking at buying one of these and this MAY have been the push I needed.
It wasn’t the Push you needed, it was the Launch you needed…
Just got this for Christmas and have 0 plan about this awesome thing. Just gotta watch this video a thousand times to internalize it haha
Lot's to learn but you'll get it, hope this video will help!
Excellent excellent, thank you for this!

This channel is great. Subbed!
Thanks for the intro to the gear. Looking forward to getting stuck in with it.

Try doing this crazy thing called reading the manual

Really good tutorial guys, I'll be checking out part 2 now!
You glossed over fixed length record--it's an amazing feature!!!

Cool stuff. I think you could have made them shorter and with more dial in. Thanks for the useful info. Subbed.

I agree 8 tracks would have been better but a 4 tracks sequencer under $300 is already a very good deal :D
Amazing content you put out . I had a question have you any experience mapping launchpad pro to Native instruments Battery 4?
how do you choose a specific scale?
The note mode button on my launchpad doesn’t work, and neither does the track selector. Should I send it in?
how to make custom scale select. I don’t needed blues how to change it
hey thx a lot, is there a way to edit/add more scales? cause it only has 16 and akai fire 23 :/
Pls can you help im having trouble with going into session the session button is dark and i dont know what to do :(
very useful, thank you
You convinced me.
*hits BUY*
how do I make the mk3 work with iPad ?
i dig the editing style. it keeps my attention :)
Ideally you need to underexposure when shooting things with lights, it’s pretty hard to see the colours, good tutorial otherwise.
For anyone who has had the launchpad pro mk2 and the launchpad pro mk3, should I upgrade? I soley use ableton for music production. Need honest opinions!!
clear and concise

I've been trying to figure out the purpose of the Scarlett interface that has nothing going to the inputs for this entire video... 0.o
i personally find useless the orange column in chord mode. Maybe i'm ignorant, but would not be more useful an extension of all the left pads in that place?
Is this compatible wit FL Studio 21?
Loopy pro like button >
Can this be used with Logic Pro ?
Can you use Chord Mode to record into the Launchpad sequencer?
No
Chord mode isn't working straight out of the box. None but a few of the notes are in the layout. The chords work with what notes are available. How to fix this?
Please tell me you can change the color of the program. Grey is soooo dull!
No inversions in chord mode?
Great review! Question: Why would someone buy this over Abelton Push 2, besides price? Thank you.
The big price difference is of course a big plus especially for those that don't need all of the Push features. However, two more major advantages are that the Launchpad Pro Mk3 can be used standalone to control hardware without a computer, and for me the biggest advantage is that it's much more portable.

I don’t get how you put sounds on the chords and everything I can only get sounds from sessions
love this videos..

For some reason, my session mode is not lighting up and is not available to use. Can anyone help me with this?
I dont have the cathedral one, idk why

this or launchkey mk37 ?
Engineer fun.
The button color is hard to see
My session mode will not show why is that
Big shoutout to the camera crew who filmed the touchpad. Just the right amount of exposure to ensure none of the colours on the pads are visible whatsoever, almost rendering the entire tutorials completely useless.
Can all these features be used in 'standalone' mode ?

After touch?
how to do song launchpad cover with pro mk3
M8 u know about google right

Hello, the previous launchpad pro had 32 scales it's the same for this one ? thanks !
On the MK3 they have included 16 scale modes, these are:
- Natural Minor, Natural Major, Dorian, Phrygian, Mixolydian, Melodic Minor, Harmonic Minor, Bebop Dorian, Blues, Minor Pentatonic, Hungarian Minor, Ukrainian Dorian, Marva, Todi, Whole Tone, Hirajoshi
@@GetintheMix hmmm can i get more scales?
Good video, but that organ... are we in church? Lol
the light is so bad you can barely see the led...
In person the LEDs are much more visible, the camera doesn't do such a good job picking it up with our bright lights unfortunately.
Why so much more expensive than the original launchpad pro? It’s almost double the price for a few more features
The sequencer and midi outs are kind of a game changer. It's a really nice step up for anyone who's used to a circuit.
Is the video on 2x speed or wtf is happening
You sound like you would be a good singer, like shawn mendes lol
Yoiyoiyoiyoiyoiyoiyoiyoiyoiyoiyoiyoiyoiyoiyoiyoiyoi
good idea to do in a bright room... not
Don't buy pro mk3. Friendly suggestion. Ther are so many features in launchapd95 better than the original that new iteration can't grasp.
I can’t find that model anywhere wat
Can you use this with FL Studio?
Unless you download a script I highly doubt it. The only other daw it works with seamlessly other than ableton is logic
