did you know you can nominate to this years version of "Best Synths & Music Gear", go to Bobeats Facebook to nominate: bit.ly/Nominate2019Bobeats and later this year we will do a poll (not on Facebook, we use Google polls for that)
assuming MIDI capture works the same as inside ableton, it should grab all the notes you play from the time you arm the clip, but it will set the clip loop/start/stop markers around the last phrase that you played. The phrase detection algorithm usually works pretty well. But you should be able to open the clip in ableton and see all the notes, edit, quantize, move the brackets etc.
I Bo, I just received my Eurorack pullover hoody today ! Looks really nice and high quality stuff ! Now i'm ready for the "Bobeats lifestyle" ;-) Some nice gears to nominate this year ! Thanx for the video !
You can customize it to use in Reaper, not just Ableton. Also you can control your external synths by running it through your DAW. No need for a USB hub but you will need a PC interface of course.
Very interesting video, many thanks - just on a point of clarification though there is no such thing as translating / converting “usb midi” to “din midi” - there is just “midi” - it can travel via usb or older din connectors but it is always the same signal - and midi hubs can also be entirely din or usb or combined like yours
@@th3ndktn I’m assuming you had a good job and moved on to the next potential hobby? No disrespect.. I got a good job and own all kinds of stuff I never got to use
Thanks for another great video, Bo! I realize that this interesting and affordable device from Novation was designed for tight integration with Ableton Live, and that's great for Ableton users. I'm wondering if you, Bo, or anybody among your subscribers have any idea what the Launchpad X might have to offer for users of other DAWs such as Presonus Studio One or Cockos Reaper.
@@BoBeats -- Thanks. So I had suspected. Am not that familiar with Bitwig, but if I were all-in with Ableton (which I'm not, at this time, at least not yet), the Launchpad X certainly would be tempting.
@@ConwayBob You can use it with other DAWs, but you're left with Note Mode and the four Custom Modes so you'd have to program everything and set up your DAW for the CCs you want to use to control things. ie... the outer buttons do not work save for that. TL;DR - it's definitely best just used with Ableton or maybe Bitwig if you or someone can make a script to take advantage of it, somehow. I've used it with my MPC Live in standalone which is a bit fun having lots of scales, notes, "knobs," etc. But again, I had to set up Custom Modes to get the most use out of it.
Love my Launchpad X... the Custom MIDI modes are a godsend, for use with stuff OTHER than Ableton.... while Ableton is great, it's so nice to see Novation expanding their product functionality with other DAWs. Wonderful.
It looks like an upgrade? to the Launchad Pro, which has most of the features that the X seems to have. Pads do look a little bigger though. Now those custom templates might be worth checking out though.
just a quick tip for your lighting: since the pads are lighted, use less surround lighting for the table, so that we can actually see the different colors of the pads :)
Thanks very much for the explanation of hardware synth control. I'm interested to know which of the other Launchpads have this feature (particularly if they are cheaper). I guess I need to do some research, unless anyone wants to chime in here with observations ?
when you are in custom Mode, is It possible to fill the 64 pads with midi note buttons (like you did at 8:22) that only play the notes that you want and play them polyphonically so you can play chords?
@@wimvandenborre706 It does show the X on the list of supported deviances as well. The script is for an old version of Ablethon though so not sure if it would still work
Bo, have you tried using any of the launchpads as a device to launch clips on the MC-707? Seems like it would be a good match to give you more than two rows of clips.
Hi BoBeats great video! I was wondering if you could please give me your personal opinion. Im trying to decide between the circuit mono station, the roland sh-01a or the roland se-02. I am currently building my setup and at the moment im using Ableton live, maschine mk3 and a minilogue xd, so im looking to add a nice bass synth to the setup. The type of music i make varies between downtempo experimental / deep house to a slightly aggressive techno. I use a lot of analogue sounds and sampled instruments such as pianos, saxophone and trumpets so i would like to add something that could blend nicely with these sounds. Ps: i also have the novation circuit (not sure if that might influence a lot since im using ableton live). Thank you. Subbed 👌🏼
Maybe you don't need a usb hub if your external soundcard has a midi output, and you can control the daw and the hardware at the same time. (I suppose, i havnt actually tried it but can't see why it couldnt happen)
Damn, excluding hardware midi connection is kinda dick move by Novation... I was looking for some pad controller for the Digitakt, but I don't need sequencer that Launchpad Pro has... Any other recommendations guys??
Looking for exactly the same thing. Let me know if you found an answer. I have a circuit tracks that I replaced with a digitakt but I am really missing the velocity and scale keyboards. I can use my CT and a controller but it feels like overkill.
bo, have you tried to use ableton live with push AND the new launchpad at the same time? could be a great "extension" for push users with the custom layouts for examples
Hello, and how do you exactly create those custom modes to that korg Synth? I mean, it is not a feature you can find on Novation Compontens or do you? What an excellent video, very helpful, thanks.
yes, they missed a trick there. i believe some one wrote the firmware for the launchpad pro, in case you werent aware. But a sequencer with that many buttons, and functioning like a Novation Circuit sequencer, would be great. id buy it.
Nice video, Bo. I'm not sure if you have any experience with the Maschine Mikro Mk3 but which one is 'better' suited for logic pro users in terms of functionality and ease of use as a drum pad and controller? I also like the software bundled with native instruments products.
Hi Bo, your videos have been a great help the last few days. I'm wondering if the Keith McMillen MIDI expander would work to serve the same purpose as your USB hub. Unfortunately the Kenton and Retrokits look to be about 100+, which is a bit much for just a single purpose ;) however, the McMillen look to be only $60... If you can, please let me know if you think it would work! Thanks so much! See you soon :)
Hi i've a question Launchpad X together with the usb midi hub, how that's working? Launchpad X is extra and the Usb midi hub ? I don't know. Tell me, how can you work all together? THX
Wich controller is best, if you only will use it for drumpad? I dont create music in session view in ableton, and All the controllers out there have Focus on session view, with clip launch and so on...
@@BoBeats The Akai MPC's have their own vst, wich I think somehow ruins the experience... I triede the Live and MPC Studio, and both was'nt my style of workflow. The Akai MPD218 I purchased from Thomann, is on its way back again... Terrible pads, with retriggering problems and bad quality. But I could also just buy the Launchpad X and ignore all the Session stuff 🤔
Thanks for letting me know. Havnt tried the Mpc controllers. Have you tried Maschine? Sure it comes with software and stuff but their pads are loved my many. Mikro could work possibly. But maybe its a little to much functions beyond what you need
@@BoBeats I did own the Maschine mk3, but I ran into the same "problem" as with the Akai MPC'S, that it runs in its own vst... But I like the Maschine pads. I just dont find the workflow between the Maschine vst and Ableton daw efficient... But again, the Maschine got the 16 pad layout, wich I like and prefer...
Do you need a USB midi hub if you're running the Launchpad X + a hardware synth both into Ableton via USB? Could you control that synth then with the Launchpad note mode?
Clarification?? You say it can be used with hardware with a "MIDI USB HUB", don't you mean a HOST?? please clarify...... I have been trying to use my new Launchpad X with my Access Virus synth. I watched one of your YT videos, where you discuss the USB/MIDI HOST issue. I bought a Mode Machines Cerebus host, yet it doesn't work as a MIDI host.. Any insights???
Hey Bo, quick favor. Could you possibly post a link for the usb midi hub you would recommend. I saw Retrokits R006, and it's a bit pricey right now. What do you think I could easily use in its place?
I think he probably created a lot of confusion regarding the "USB midi hub". There is no need for any special device, you can connect the launchpad up to hardware in the same way as you'd connect any other usb controller that gets both data and power over same usb cable (which is many). For example, I connect my Launchpad X directly to my iPad using the CCK adapter on the ipad, same as I do my keystep or any other controller. If I'm connecting multiple devices I just use a generic powered usb hub, again the Launchpad X works just the same as with any of my other usb controllers. You can even have a usb-to-din-midi adapter (e.g., Midiplus 2 x 2) connected to that hub, and the Launchpad messages can get routed to hardware connected by traditional midi plugs. Absolutely no need for any special "usb midi hub". You will need a "usb midi hub" only if you're trying to connect to hardware devices without having a "usb host" (pc/mac/ipad) as part of your setup. In other words, you can use a generic usb hub if it's connected to a pc/mac/ipad device that acts as the "usb host". But that's the case with any usb controller, not specific to launchpads.
@BoBeats A friend of us said, USB-MIDI-CONV2" (hobbytronic ) is out of stock and backorder not allowed. So this Kenton could be the same Midi usb host. I thought you know ths kenton...
BoBeats custom scale keyboard on the user mode is great but I like to be able to switch scales and keys at will during composing and jamming... If the scale mode in the launchpad X works just like the Launchpad pro that would be ideal.
You can buy a Launchpad X using my affiliate link Launchpad X EU: thmn.to/thoprod/475238?offid=1&affid=623 US: imp.i114863.net/NKZ6RK Launchpad Pro MK3 (standalone sequencer!) EU: thmn.to/thoprod/482692?offid=1&affid=623 US: imp.i114863.net/NKZ6RK
Re the midi usb hub, I wasn't able to get one from hobbytronics, so I made one using raspberry pi. Here's the video I used for inspiration. Let me know if you want me to share my settings. ruclips.net/video/N4yUduOqR3M/видео.html
There has been considerable interaction (some of it positive, some not so much) between Celtic and Scandanavian peoples over many centuries,, dating back to long before the modern English or Swedish languages developed or the Roman invasions of the British Isles. For that reason, many similarities can be found among those Northwest European cultures. Traditional Celtic, Norwegian, and Swedish music appear to share some common roots, and perhaps some language and speech sounds share common roots as well. www.transceltic.com/pan-celtic/celts-and-vikings-scandinavian-influences-celtic-nations
Hey Bo. Your content has always been good, and your presentation too ... but you claim to be going "professional" ... and yet you are doing ever-more-ridiculous poses and expressions on your title pages that look like some kid who's just discovered RUclips ... the equivalent of a presentation using every font and transition effect available.

Hi BoBeats great video! I was wondering if you could please give me your personal opinion. Im trying to decide between the circuit mono station, the roland sh-01a or the roland se-02. I am currently building my setup and at the moment im using Ableton live, maschine mk3 and a minilogue xd, so im looking to add a nice bass synth to the setup. The type of music i make varies between downtempo experimental / deep house to a slightly aggressive techno. I use a lot of analogue sounds and sampled instruments such as pianos, saxophone and trumpets so i would like to add something that could blend nicely with these sounds. Ps: i also have the novation circuit (not sure if that might influence a lot since im using ableton live). Thank you. Subbed 👌🏼

BoBeats could you make a video about your opinion on bitwig vs ableton🙃?
It also works with hardware that has a USB Host, too. I used one with my MPC Live tonight
Just saw that there was a new Launchpad Mini as well with the same widgets. I think novation was listening to my inner thoughts.
Finally saved up enough for one!! It comes in a couple weeks
They should make a novation launchpad just for hardware synth.
If I remember correctly the launchpad pro mk3 can do that.
Midi Din I/Os?
assuming MIDI capture works the same as inside ableton, it should grab all the notes you play from the time you arm the clip, but it will set the clip loop/start/stop markers around the last phrase that you played. The phrase detection algorithm usually works pretty well. But you should be able to open the clip in ableton and see all the notes, edit, quantize, move the brackets etc.
I Bo, I just received my Eurorack pullover hoody today ! Looks really nice and high quality stuff ! Now i'm ready for the "Bobeats lifestyle" ;-)
Some nice gears to nominate this year ! Thanx for the video !
You can customize it to use in Reaper, not just Ableton. Also you can control your external synths by running it through your DAW. No need for a USB hub but you will need a PC interface of course.
How many sequences can run at the same time? Can i play different layers stacked on this?
Can you use the fader thing and the pitch bend on reaper?
Very interesting video, many thanks - just on a point of clarification though there is no such thing as translating / converting “usb midi” to “din midi” - there is just “midi” - it can travel via usb or older din connectors but it is always the same signal - and midi hubs can also be entirely din or usb or combined like yours

What USB MIDI hub is that???????? Does it have USB C ability?

What do we really need to make music ???
Still missing a standalone sequencer, come one novation another missed opportunity to surpass the beatstep pro
They should make a product like this for sure!! :-)
Mr. Basic I have used this custom firmware on my launchpad pro. Quite cool 😎 and stand alone

yes, they missed a trick there. i believe some one wrote the firmware for the launchpad pro, in case you werent aware.
But a sequencer with that many buttons, and functioning like a Novation Circuit sequencer, would be great. id buy it.
Exactly what I had in mind. It's the only feature that makes me prefer the Push 2 still, despite it being a much older controller
launchpad95 gets you two step sequencers and it works on the x

I assume so yeah

@BoBeats A friend of us said, USB-MIDI-CONV2" (hobbytronic ) is out of stock and backorder not allowed. So this Kenton could be the same Midi usb host. I thought you know ths kenton...
Bo, does the Note mode with scale settings work in standalone mode as well?
Yes notes work I didnt try scales... but I assume so. And you can put a custom scales keyboard on the custom page too
BoBeats custom scale keyboard on the user mode is great but I like to be able to switch scales and keys at will during composing and jamming...
If the scale mode in the launchpad X works just like the Launchpad pro that would be ideal.
does this have step sequencer?
No thats only on the Pro version
@@BoBeats I see.. probably will go for Arturia Beatstep pro for drum section :)
Launchpad Pro VS Launpad X?

Too bad this doesn't have a step sequencer....
Re the midi usb hub, I wasn't able to get one from hobbytronics, so I made one using raspberry pi. Here's the video I used for inspiration. Let me know if you want me to share my settings. ruclips.net/video/N4yUduOqR3M/видео.html
Är du svensk?
Yepp
Do you mind me asking where are you from? You sound like you have picked up an Irish accent but obviously not where you are from lol
irish accent. First time I heard that. I am Swedish. However Ive been to Ireland so maybe i picked something up
BoBeats Haha yeah you have a touch of the Irish accent it’s interesting
There has been considerable interaction (some of it positive, some not so much) between Celtic and Scandanavian peoples over many centuries,, dating back to long before the modern English or Swedish languages developed or the Roman invasions of the British Isles. For that reason, many similarities can be found among those Northwest European cultures. Traditional Celtic, Norwegian, and Swedish music appear to share some common roots, and perhaps some language and speech sounds share common roots as well.

Bob Conway That’s really interesting!
L.p. pro has a note mode
Yepp, but this is not a LP Pro. This is the followup to the Launchpad mk2 I believe
@@BoBeats ahhhhhhh that makes more sense
Hey Bo. Your content has always been good, and your presentation too ... but you claim to be going "professional" ... and yet you are doing ever-more-ridiculous poses and expressions on your title pages that look like some kid who's just discovered RUclips ... the equivalent of a presentation using every font and transition effect available.
I may be in a minority of one ... but if I hadn't looked at your earlier stuff, I wouldn't bother with a look at your recent posts on Push, Deluge ... when the content is good, look the part?
Thanks for letting me know bud :-) always care about what long time viewers think
Nothing new, always the same stuff.
Hi BoBeats great video! I was wondering if you could please give me your personal opinion. Im trying to decide between the circuit mono station, the roland sh-01a or the roland se-02. I am currently building my setup and at the moment im using Ableton live, maschine mk3 and a minilogue xd, so im looking to add a nice bass synth to the setup. The type of music i make varies between downtempo experimental / deep house to a slightly aggressive techno. I use a lot of analogue sounds and sampled instruments such as pianos, saxophone and trumpets so i would like to add something that could blend nicely with these sounds. Ps: i also have the novation circuit (not sure if that might influence a lot since im using ableton live). Thank you. Subbed 👌🏼
