Wanna See SIX Launchpads Used At Once?

Then look no further 01-Sep-10

via NovationTV 

An explanation of how connecting 6 Launchpads at a time opens up a new dimension to Ableton Live.

 

 

Now thats an impressive setup.- why six? Well its the maximum you can connect.

Of course you will also need AutoMap Pro to let you use that many, but what fun you could have...

@lorenz661 Its just simple follow actions in Ableton. You set follow actions in the "launch" tab for each clip. Refer to your Ableton manual for further details.


lorenz661 07-Nov-11 12:59 PM

Is there any tutorial on how the clips had been splitted on drums?


NovusWars 20-Oct-11 05:33 AM

KRK FTW!


welshkez 02-Oct-11 11:11 PM

@realcoolking95 thats where the Nocturn comes in!


NovationTV 19-Sep-11 02:31 PM

@Rlev420 We generally find that powered belkin USB 2.0 hubs work well.


Rlev420 17-Sep-11 01:30 PM

I NEED HELP!!! WHAT USB HUB DO YOU USE!!!!! everyone i try will send power to my launchpad, putting it in vegas mode. but will not reognize it in live!! i need help.


RainK9 27-Aug-11 04:34 AM

what effect program are you using on that third launchpad?


Seanojl 18-Aug-11 03:05 PM

thought he was chris martin real quick


boobspassion 17-Jul-11 03:42 AM

ho perso dei colpi.....


realcoolking95 14-Jul-11 02:55 PM

@MrDeemsMusic definitely. pads are ok, but you really need physical knobs & faders. =)


MrDeemsMusic 14-Jul-11 12:08 PM

@realcoolking95 That was exactly what I was thinking when I started watching this video. I was also thinking you could just build a monome MK 512 for roughly the same price (not counting the cost of the enclosure). Either way the functionality of using 6 launchpads is pretty minimal. You would have more control over your live set using a single APC40 or something of the like. There is only so much you can do with buttons assigned to midi. You need encoders and faders to get any real control.


realcoolking95 13-Jun-11 05:37 PM

...or you could buy 2 monome256's.


technicalerr0r 21-May-11 09:22 PM

@writeract

scroll down.

follow actions work in groups, so you just leave a blank cell between loops and scroll through the project, which in a liver perforrmance setup would contain all the clips you need for each of the songs you plan on playing.


writeract 07-May-11 01:09 PM

yeah, thats cool for one song, but what do i have to do when i want to mix that with another song? open a new project??


kgog1 04-Apr-11 08:32 PM

@xbuster17 oh ok thats what they are ye your feed back on them helps..thank you for your reply


xbuster17 02-Apr-11 12:10 PM

@kgog1 those are KRK rockit i'm guessing 8'', they are nice, good, not very expensive studio monitors. they sound too much clubby for me, like on a disco?...yeah... idk, they can rock pretty hardly. good for rock and techno (and stuff like that)... IMO: fat bass ---> i don't like them. hope it helps


DUBBLIZE 01-Feb-11 07:17 AM

@emoboi86 he 's probably first making the track happen and only then slice it for the live purpose: way smarter.


emoboi86 07-Jan-11 09:10 PM

Is there an easy way to split up a clip like that? I imagine it's not very intuitive to initially write a one bar beat across 8 clips.


emoboi86 07-Jan-11 09:08 PM

@Bossessential He pressed the page down button on the right launchpad, and then hit "play scene" for scene 9 (which is empty)


emoboi86 07-Jan-11 09:07 PM

@kgog1 Look like KRKs to me


kgog1 16-Dec-10 08:19 AM

what kind of SPEAKERS are those...I've seen a lot of people with those are they that good...anybody?.. thanks


Bossessential 25-Sep-10 09:37 AM

How did you stop all the clips @3:02?


kb1629 03-Sep-10 07:50 PM

That guy is really talented!


egonander 02-Sep-10 03:52 PM

if six Launchpads is not enough then build something decent yourself: youtube.com/watch?v=8WQU-Lrm3D8


FSK1138 01-Sep-10 02:30 PM

why not 8 units ??? running 2 MAX step sequences would be killer with this set up i am sure two units can work if the other two are using home-brew like littlescale


onraj9mm 01-Sep-10 01:34 PM

great vid, but one question, arent you somehow limited to 128 midi messages overall? thanks


shonkysaint 01-Sep-10 11:54 AM

Given me loads of new idea's, only running on one Launchpad though! Thanks for the tutorial.
