Novation Launchpad X: Is Less Really More? (Review)

  • Launchpad X by Novation is a budget-friendly and performance-oriented pad controller for Ableton Live, but the compact form factor and lower price tag come with some restrictions compared to larger controllers. In my review I explore what Launchpad X can and can't do and how it can fit in a studio setup despite its limitations.

    A lot of the shortcomings you mentioned are overcome if paired with a Launchkey. Obviously that's a silly caveat, but I have a Launchkey and realized that these two items go well together

    Hey, really thanks for your work! I was wandering if you could help me with a trouble on launchpad X: I activated the "Legacy" mode (with the purple button) and now my Session button is disabled. Do you know a way to turn launchpad X to its normal mode and functionality?
    Thanks, i really can't find any information anyware on the internet.

      Not sure what’s going on there. Have you reached out to Novation about this yet?

    Hey bro are the pads on Launchkey mk3 and launchpad x are same right i mean the feel and material any changes ?

      @aako-dd1ly 3 месяца назад

      I have launchkey 49 and the pads feel very similar to my launchpad x. I actually really like it's simplicity and the 8x8 layout compared to the fiasco I went through with a maschine mk3. I hate that thing with a passion

    What was the music used in the background. It sounds so familiar like a game or something.

    Can you use a launchpad without a computer to sample direct from a synth ?

      No, it’s just a controller.

    has anybody here made the switch from FL Studio to Ableton and would recommend it?

    • @XanderEwald
      @XanderEwald  2 года назад +1

      I went from Fast Tracker 2 to FL (it was called Fruity Loops back then) to Cubase SX and eventually Ableton Live. I work with Logic and Pro Tools for my job sometimes too, but for me Live is still and by far the best and most fun DAW for music making. After 15 years it still keeps giving me new ideas and options. So you yeah, highly recommended!

    • @XanderEwald
      @XanderEwald  Год назад

      I used Live alongside Logic on a regular basis back when I worked on music and sound design for TV, radio, and movie commercials. It’s really not about the tools, but how you use them.
