Got the keyboard yesterday....looks complicated, but thanks to videos like this I am slowly taking onboard how to use it...eventually it will be second nature...I made music by filling in individual MIDI notes in the past, its laborious....you definently need a keyboard to express yourself properly
Your 5 minute video explained a lot compared to those 15+ minute videos. You managed to give a better understanding of Ableton Session view and launchkey Mk3 in just 5 minutes. Great job, really helped a lot. Thank You.
Ive been looking into getting one of these and have been watching so many videos and this by far is the best. Im a complete beginner but with your help I will go into it with a better understanding!
Great Tutorial in a short amount of time. Hope you can create more similar tutorial. Thanks also for the Free Plugin Link. Your Awesome. Keep up the good works.
Amazing! Instantly subbed. Can you make more videos on production with the Launchkey? I would love to see what it can do to the full extent. For example, watching you create a full song with this device would help me a lot. Thanks for your great content.
Thank you very much! I don't know if I'll make a dedicated launchkey full song production, but I have intention of creating more music production content. I'm in the middle of a big project right now, so it might take time, but I'm glad my videos are being useful for you. If you have questions, feel free to ask!
Lmao finally straightforward showing how it works! Definitely could gore in depth but this is good for barebones and starting, loops gonna go crazy! Ty
Just subscribed! Honestly, your video has been the most well-explained video I have seen for looping with this midi controller. Everyone else kind shows it but it almost seems like they don't know what they're talking about. Can you please make more videos about the launchkey mini mk3? Like using components and stuff like that
Thank you very much! I really appreciate your feedback! I'll plan myself to make a video about components. I'm finishing a project, so it might take a while, but I'll make it.
Wow, you're amazing. I bought this, told myself I CAN DO THIS lol, watched u & got scared,, trying to make my kid songs music by myself instead of paying silly $ .. but I feel like after re-watching several times, I have a much better understanding of how to actually put it all together, I just never "learned" to read or play music, I was always just self taught, so im going to take a bit longer :p - tysm for sharing! :)
That's awesome! Tbf, after some time, everybody needs to be self taught, so, don't worry about it. And you know what? That is a knowledge that won't get lost. Have fun in you music journey, cause it is what matters most, after all. Thanks for commenting!
@@brupibo aw thanks :) - my only main issue now is determining why every time I go to "record" a piano (or key) sound it changes octave on its own and seems really unstable , the sound is really unstable and seems to fluctuate. wondering if I have a faulty system or it's my not very expensive PC lol . would you possibly know about this? thanks so much ia!
Well, idk exactly what it can be, might be related to configuration or audio buffer. I made a video about the settings issues: ruclips.net/video/G-XnnUq5A68/видео.html If you don't have any of these problems, do some research about audio buffer size, input latency and ASIO4All (this one is only if you do not have an audio interface) I can't be more specific here because it is too much to write, but through these keywords you'll find your answer. Basically your issues might be low audio buffer, but if you increase it too much you'll get latency. The more plugins, the more buffer you need.
It's a wonderful video on this session looping .................Loved it. Please do make one step by step guide video on how to loop for the beginners. I've gotta Novation Mk 3 49 keys, I'm finding it difficult to understand the functionality of the keys when looping in ableton.
Bought MINI-MK3 keyboard and it is not working as expected. I press the SHIFT and only 2 orange and 1 green pads light up/ This is not what I saw in the tutorial vid. Cannot change modes with SHIFT. I tried to contact Novation 3 times and they completely ignorred it. No response of any kind. Tried the factory reset, but no luck. Any idea how to reset this keyboard ?bought this keyboard and it is not working asexpected. I press the SHIFT and only 3 orange and one green pads light up/ This is not what I saw in the tutorial vid. I tried to contact Novation 3 times and they completely ignorred. No response of any kind. Ytied the factory reset, but no luck. Any idea how to reset this keyboard ?
my record doesn't get lauched when i change tracks? why is that? I think i accidentally got the flkey version of novation launckey mini 25 mk3, rather than getting the ableton one.
Although it is technically possible, I think it is not very practical to use the pads to make drums and loops, because you'd need to switch modes on a very short time. Ideally, you'd need an additional Launchpad to use it.
@ 4:00. you initiate record by tapping 'rec' button and then tapping the guitar track pad. Why are you tapping the track pad? Do you need to do both? This is better than most videos but still confuses the loop command sequences. Thank you!
Thanks for your nice and simple explanation. Why is the time gap in the beginning and end of the loop, after recording on a track or the way you did it. Thanks
Help me understand how record quantization works. And what should I set it to? Also, my looping never seems to be a perfect loop but has some gap in the end. Why is that?
Record quantization applies the quantization as soon as you end your loop. About the gap: Use metronome to record. Press the pad (or rec) in you launchkey before the end of the measure. Every loop ends in the end of the measure, so, the loop won't close as soon as you hit the button. Recommended quantization: To start, try to use Eight quantization (1/8) and play in that rhythm. Don't make strums or fast passages, that way you practice to play faster with precision and learn how the quantization works.
Oi, amigo! que tutorial massa! pergunta: saberia dizer se faz sentido comprar um launchkey mini e usar uma interface de audio Q-12? É uma bem baratinha, mas quero saber se você sabe se ela evita delay. Obrigado!
Hello! It is probably not being recognised by Ableton Live. I made a video about it (and some other tips, but this problem is the first one I talk about). Check here: ruclips.net/video/G-XnnUq5A68/видео.html
Check if the clips are all stopped. There's a small square on the bottom of the session clip list. Click there and start again. It should work. I see you asked a couple of days ago, sorry, I was away.
Sorry, I don't have 61 anymore :/ Thank you for your suggestion anyway. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask, but I won't be able to make a tutorial on LK61, unfortunately.
best tutorial for beginners nobs like me so far, though you could use a better mic or something. it is a bit odd to hear bad voice over on a sound based tutorial :P
Thank you for your feedback. I always struggled to make voice over, cause I tried to record all at once. I think my recent videos had some improvement. This one is fairly old, but nice to see it helped you. I want to make another full tutorial like this considering the new firmware update. Hopefully, with a better sound (what I agree it is ironic hahaha). Cheers
Hi Brupibo, is there a way to automatically move on to the next instrument without having to press Shift+Fixed Chord. for example, after two bars the program would automatically switch and you can continue playing. Very much enjoyed the video!
Thank you, Justin! Unfortunately no. But if you press the empty pad of the instrument, you go straight to the instrument, but if the pad is not empty, you will launch the clip too. To change instrument and start recording a clip quickly, double tap in an empty pad. That might be faster than switching through shift. In some cases, I map the knobs to the arm button on the tracks, so I don't need to navigate using the arrows. That way, the arm is also locked, so you can freely launch other clips without changing instruments. I might do a tutorial about that sometime.
This was a very useful and well described video, Thank you. Brupibo, I have one question, I downloaded the Guitars you recommended in the video. But i dont know how to import it into Ableton Live. Do you have any hint for me?
Hi! After installing, you need to activate VST plugins in Ableton. Check this for detailed information: help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209071729-Using-VST-plug-ins-on-Windows
Hi! Don't worry, the included Ableton Live Lite is forever. The 90 days you mentioned is for the trial of Ableton Live Suite, the most expensive version, but Ableton Live Lite is very capable too, and doesn't expire. Cheers!
Thanks for great tutorial. But i have question. How you record your loop cover or how export audio file from ableton with step by step recording. Thanks 😊
If yoi followed the manual instructions to setup your Launchkey, check this video for some potential issues you might have: ruclips.net/video/G-XnnUq5A68/видео.html
Great video! Really helped. I’m still stuck on something though. How do you use the pitch and modulation strip (like examples) I can’t figure out whether mine don’t work or if I’m not using them right..
Thank you! The pitchbend always "comeback" to the center. You can move it from the center to bottom and from the center to up. When you release the strip, it will always go back to center. Modulation starts from 0 on bottom to 127 (max) on top. This one doesn't goes back when you release. Every time you touch it, its updated and keeps that way. If you have anything specific you want to do and are not being able too, feel free to ask here!
@@brupibo That's very nice of you! I'm not sure what I'm stuck on, but I'm sure it's something obvious that I just don't know about, yet. Is there a specific ableton instrument/sound the pitch and mod bends work with? Or do I have to activate them or map them to something? Because even when mapping I get no input from them and I just got this thing new. Sorry for being so vague about this :D
This is not right. It should work. Any instrument should be affected by pitch bend. Modulation usually is assigned to Tremolo/Vibrato or volume for most instruments. You shouldn't need to assign anything. Could it be a faulty device? That would be my guess.
Hello! These two short videos I made might help you: ruclips.net/video/G-XnnUq5A68/видео.html ruclips.net/video/_V6jvy9QP20/видео.html If you still have problems, let me know.
This was a real cool tutorial. I just started setting up my Launchkey and every time I try to use the keys for a synth part it switches between channels, so I can only play two keys. How do I fix that?
Hi, great tutorial! When i switch between the instruments my record button will not activate for the selected instrument. It "stays" active for the last selected instrument. How can i configure that in ableton? Thx a lot!
Hello! Thank you! You probably activated the rec manually. Click the activated rec button to kinda deactivate it. The button will be a little dimmed, but still red. This is the mode launchkey is controlling thr software.
Hi! Unfortunately no. Only keys supports Arp in Launchkey (natively). But if you're using it in a DAW, you can use a MIDI arpeggiator (I know it is not the same thing, but it is the only workaround I know).
hi brupibo, im not able to loop properly, i already put eight on cuant, but when i record it always leave some empty space so my loop cant loop in the right way
Hello! Pay attention if you are stopping the loop before the ending of the bar. Tap the pad (or the rec button) before the end of the last bar you're recording, because if you tap too late, it will add 1 bar to the counting. Don't worry tapping early on the bar, because it will stop recording only when the bar finishes.
@@brupibo thanks you for the ultra fast response it really helped my out, may i ask you one last thing, what's the next step after you have a Nice loop to make it a long track with more variations?
If you are in session mode, keep practing counting tempos. Let's say you are going to loop 2 bars. Set the metronome to 1 bar countdown before starts rec. Then you start recording: 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 (here you can already press the pad to stop recording, cause it will keep recording until it finishes that measure/bar/compass). Also, check if global quantization is set in 1 bar. The space after the loop is probably because you're trying to stop the loop too late.
IMHO, looping is like a puzzle. A clip loop is a piece. What makes it fun is to reuse each one cleverly. It is not a rule, of course, but it is what I like in loops. But the next step after having a seamless loop is to have about 4 good loops and manage them. Like, you start with loop 1, record loop 2 and 3, then, when you finish recording loop 4, you disable 3 and 4, makes an improvisation, then reactivate 3 and 4 and improvise again. This is what will give dynamic to the song. Again, don't take what I say here as the ultimate truth, it is only some steps that will help you to get hang of the technical part, then you can be creative and use it anyway you want. There's no limits to looping. I hope I could be clear. It is a big text huh? Haha, maybe I should make a video with all these info xD If you didn't saw yet, check my Ableton Live Loop playlist for some ideas. Thank you for watching!
Did your Novation come with the Ample guitar pack? Ableton doesn't have it in their free download section. I have no plug ins on my barely used MK3 mini bought a year ago. Good video thanks!
@@brupibo Is that keyboard have 90 days ableton lite or forever? Because I want do music but if ableton live be 90 i cant do and ableton live is expensive In Turkey. Sorry for bad Enlgish I'm Turkish and i don't know English so much.
How can you combine recording real instruments into ableton. I mainly play guitar but I’ve been trying to round out my sound for gigs. I’ve got a launchkey mini mk3. Would I need a loop pedal as well?
Launchkey Mini MK3 doesn't activate audio tracks automatically, but you can workaround it: in Launchkey, set the pads to Session Mode and assign the lower row of pads to the arm track buttons in Ableton. That way, when you hit the pad it will start to record the clip in the track, even if it is an audio track. That way, you can use audio and MIDI loops together. I didn't had time to test if it is possible to navigate through other clip rows, but the 1st row I tested and you can use it the same way for audio and virtual instruments.
My previous answer didn't considered you wouldn't be able to stop clips. So, I suggest you to use knobs to arm the tracks, instead the lower row of pads. Knobs can arm tracks when above 50%. Not ideal, but it is a workaround.
this product is impressive, HOWEVER arp is on and i input new notes they overlap !! I contacted novation and the told me "It's also worth noting that trying to play individual notes with the arp turned on with have unpredictable results." so they are telling me that i cant make an arpeggio progression with more than one chord ??
Wait how do I get guitar mode? Is it a plug in or is it a feature I’m not seeing? Just checked the description XD I see you linked the plug ins many thanks!
There's a Lite version that is free. If you can't see VSTs in your Ableton, go to settings (don't remember the tab now), but one of them will have an option to enable VST Folder.
Thanks! I don't remember if there is a way to do that. If you select through Launchkey, though, it will work. Just remember to not arm anything manually. That way, Launchkey will auto arm.
I didn't understand. What model exactly you want to know? Unfortunately I only have Launchkey Mini MK3, but if I know a resource that would help you I can tell you.
This video is an overview of the basics. I'd say if you need more basic than this, take a look at the manual (you can find a pdf user guide in Novation's site), it is very straightforward. Also I have a tutorials playlist on my channel, there you will find some fixes for common problems that Launchkey have when you get it. I recommend you watch it too, because some crashes in Ableton happens due to simple configuration. Thank you for watching!
Bro, this tutorial explained what 5 others couldn't do and in lesser time. You DESERVE subscribers especially future music producers' subscriptions.
I'm glad with your feedback because that's my objective: make short videos and be as clear as possible. Thank you very much!

Is there a specific ableton instrument/sound the pitch and mod bends work with? Or do I have to activate them or map them to something? Because even when mapping I get no input from them and I just got this thing new. Sorry for being so vague about this :D
This is not right. It should work. Any instrument should be affected by pitch bend. Modulation usually is assigned to Tremolo/Vibrato or volume for most instruments. You shouldn't need to assign anything. Could it be a faulty device? That would be my guess.
Bro when i press shift not light up session mode.& it's not show as a storage device.what can i do .plz help me
Hello!
These two short videos I made might help you:

If you still have problems, let me know.
@@brupibo no change. still have this problem. :( :(
Check if your Ableton is updated. Other than that, idk what might be, unfortunately.
@@brupibo 10.1.30 latest update
how do you eventually delete what you recorded and start over again without having to delete the clips on the computer?
Hi! This is not possible in Launchkey Mini afaik.
The other Launchkeys MK3 have undo button.
:(
i am an absolute beginner, and this video was great! Just one qestion, should i plug in my headphones in the computer or in my launchkey? :)
Launchkey doesn't produce any sounds (there isn't phone output in it), so, always plug the headphone in the computer.
Thank you for watching!
This was a real cool tutorial. I just started setting up my Launchkey and every time I try to use the keys for a synth part it switches between channels, so I can only play two keys. How do I fix that?
Thanks!

Can you show me with Fl studio please
Unfortunately I don't use FLStudio
Hi, great tutorial! When i switch between the instruments my record button will not activate for the selected instrument. It "stays" active for the last selected instrument. How can i configure that in ableton? Thx a lot!
Hello! Thank you!
You probably activated the rec manually. Click the activated rec button to kinda deactivate it. The button will be a little dimmed, but still red. This is the mode launchkey is controlling thr software.
@@brupibo Thanks! Helpful hint!
Hey is note repeat is available on the pad?
Hi! Unfortunately no. Only keys supports Arp in Launchkey (natively).
But if you're using it in a DAW, you can use a MIDI arpeggiator (I know it is not the same thing, but it is the only workaround I know).
hi brupibo, im not able to loop properly, i already put eight on cuant, but when i record it always leave some empty space so my loop cant loop in the right way
Hello!
Pay attention if you are stopping the loop before the ending of the bar.
Tap the pad (or the rec button) before the end of the last bar you're recording, because if you tap too late, it will add 1 bar to the counting.
Don't worry tapping early on the bar, because it will stop recording only when the bar finishes.
@@brupibo thanks you for the ultra fast response it really helped my out, may i ask you one last thing, what's the next step after you have a Nice loop to make it a long track with more variations?
If you are in session mode, keep practing counting tempos. Let's say you are going to loop 2 bars. Set the metronome to 1 bar countdown before starts rec. Then you start recording: 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 (here you can already press the pad to stop recording, cause it will keep recording until it finishes that measure/bar/compass).
Also, check if global quantization is set in 1 bar.
The space after the loop is probably because you're trying to stop the loop too late.
IMHO, looping is like a puzzle. A clip loop is a piece. What makes it fun is to reuse each one cleverly. It is not a rule, of course, but it is what I like in loops.
But the next step after having a seamless loop is to have about 4 good loops and manage them. Like, you start with loop 1, record loop 2 and 3, then, when you finish recording loop 4, you disable 3 and 4, makes an improvisation, then reactivate 3 and 4 and improvise again. This is what will give dynamic to the song.
Again, don't take what I say here as the ultimate truth, it is only some steps that will help you to get hang of the technical part, then you can be creative and use it anyway you want. There's no limits to looping.
I hope I could be clear. It is a big text huh? Haha, maybe I should make a video with all these info xD
If you didn't saw yet, check my Ableton Live Loop playlist for some ideas.
Thank you for watching!
Did your Novation come with the Ample guitar pack? Ableton doesn't have it in their free download section. I have no plug ins on my barely used MK3 mini bought a year ago.
Good video thanks!
Hello! Ample Guitar Lite is a standalone plugin, not related to Ableton. Get Ample Bass Lite too.
Check Bedroom Producers Blog for more free plugins.
@@brupibo Is that keyboard have 90 days ableton lite or forever? Because I want do music but if ableton live be 90 i cant do and ableton live is expensive In Turkey.
Sorry for bad Enlgish I'm Turkish and i don't know English so much.
@@GDominos has it been forever?
Hi! Ableton Live Lite is forever. The other versions of Ableton has 90 days trials.
And sorry r4try_edits, I didn't saw your question before.
How can you combine recording real instruments into ableton. I mainly play guitar but I’ve been trying to round out my sound for gigs. I’ve got a launchkey mini mk3. Would I need a loop pedal as well?
Launchkey Mini MK3 doesn't activate audio tracks automatically, but you can workaround it: in Launchkey, set the pads to Session Mode and assign the lower row of pads to the arm track buttons in Ableton. That way, when you hit the pad it will start to record the clip in the track, even if it is an audio track.
That way, you can use audio and MIDI loops together.
I didn't had time to test if it is possible to navigate through other clip rows, but the 1st row I tested and you can use it the same way for audio and virtual instruments.
My previous answer didn't considered you wouldn't be able to stop clips. So, I suggest you to use knobs to arm the tracks, instead the lower row of pads. Knobs can arm tracks when above 50%.
Not ideal, but it is a workaround.
Brupibo legend! Thank you!
this product is impressive, HOWEVER arp is on and i input new notes they overlap !! I contacted novation and the told me "It's also worth noting that trying to play individual notes with the arp turned on with have unpredictable results." so they are telling me that i cant make an arpeggio progression with more than one chord ??
Hi! I think your arp is in latch mode on. Disable it, so notes will be off when you release keys.
@@brupibo still with the latch on it should stop the last note when the new note starts
Wait how do I get guitar mode? Is it a plug in or is it a feature I’m not seeing?
Just checked the description XD I see you linked the plug ins many thanks!
Great! Feel free to ask if you have any question. Cheers!
how did you get the plugins onto ableton from amplesound?
There's a Lite version that is free. If you can't see VSTs in your Ableton, go to settings (don't remember the tab now), but one of them will have an option to enable VST Folder.
@@brupibo I enabled VST on Ableton I'm just having trouble finding the VST folder it needs to add the plugin. Sorry I'm very new to this
@@brupibo Never mind I found it in the program folder! Great tutorial
Great video! One question: how do you set up Ableton so that when you select a track it is set to record arm by default?
Thanks!
I don't remember if there is a way to do that. If you select through Launchkey, though, it will work. Just remember to not arm anything manually. That way, Launchkey will auto arm.
@@brupibo Thank you! You have a new subscriber and fan ;)
Uf..., esta inglés pero le entendí con subtitulo 😉
Can you upload video how to use novation mini keyboard
I didn't understand. What model exactly you want to know? Unfortunately I only have Launchkey Mini MK3, but if I know a resource that would help you I can tell you.
Thanks for replying!
Just wanted to know controller on mini mk3 how to operate them.
This video is an overview of the basics. I'd say if you need more basic than this, take a look at the manual (you can find a pdf user guide in Novation's site), it is very straightforward. Also I have a tutorials playlist on my channel, there you will find some fixes for common problems that Launchkey have when you get it. I recommend you watch it too, because some crashes in Ableton happens due to simple configuration.
Thank you for watching!
Does this NOT work at all with Ableton 9?
It should work in the latest version 9, but idk for sure.
@@brupibo OK, I kinda got it going. I think I was just doing something wrong. I'm just gonna use it as controller for right now until I can get 10
wait...where you from? your pronunciation is kinda diferent (i like that anyway)
