Hi, i have a launchpad s. because of it being discontinued does that mean that I will not be able to use it at all or does it just mean that no new ones will be put out. i hope that makes sense.
Great review, best I've seen so far! And I didn't know the Launchpad was so versatile. Can't wait to buy one! Oh and can I create bass lines with it and another DAW or is this done with the Launchpad/Ableton Live combo?
BustyGretchen I'm glad we could help! The Launchpad S from Novation (B&H # NOLAUNCHPADS) is a multi-color button controller for use with grid-based music applications such as Ableton Live and FL Studio. For the DJ, performing musician, or studio producer, the controller provides everything needed to "play" the software straight out of the box, using the 64-button grid to launch and manipulate clips, trigger loops, fire off effects, control a mixer, and more. bhpho.to/1rxuww7 Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh@bandh.com >Mark
I don't see how it's different than the regular Launchpad? I was told it would pick up the colors of the Ableton clips...that's what I wanted. Guess I'll have to get the Launchpad Pro.
Launchpad S is literally just a smaller version of the pro. It is a sniffly the same thing dies the sink the act same thing and honestly take it from someone who’s actually an artist and I’ve been in the music business since 2010 so yeah, like I said exactly the same thing they run the same runs all kinds of programs and stuff and yeah, nothing really changed. It’s just a smaller version, easier to handle
I just found a Launchpad S at Goodwill for $6.00. I paid three because of it being tagged yellow and all yellow items were 'half off.' No kidding. It was not complete, as it was missing the special USB cord, but thankfully it just takes a printer cord, which I had an extra one.
I know this video is old but i have a issue and i need help.I downloaded Ableton live 9 and when i plug in the launchpad the only lights that work/show are the 4 arrows up top 2 of them shine bright the other 2 are dim. I did all the steps and it still won't work thank you for reading this if you do.
@DJ EVOL The Launchpad S has a few "hidden" functions that are outlined in the Launchpad S New Features Guide (AKA "Advanced Features Guide") downloadable from Novation's website, including instructions on Full Power Mode. Keep in mind that for full LED power you have to have the Launchpad S plugged directly into your computer's USB port or a powered USB hub. Also if you're using it with the iPad, it can not supply the Launchpad S with enough power for Full Power Mode. Thanks for watching.
