Using 6 Launchpads - Explained

[lorenz661]

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

[MrDeemsMusic]

@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.

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.

[NovationTV]

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

[RainK9]

what effect program are you using on that third launchpad?

[Seanojl]

thought he was chris martin real quick

[boobspassion]

ho perso dei colpi.....

[realcoolking95]

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

[MrDeemsMusic]

@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]

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

@realcoolking95 thats where the Nocturn comes in!

[writeract]

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??

[technicalerr0r]

@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.

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.

[DUBBLIZE]

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

[kgog1]

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

[emoboi86]

@kgog1 Look like KRKs to me

[xbuster17]

@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

[kgog1]

@xbuster17 oh ok thats what they are

ye your feed back on them helps..thank you for your reply

[Bossessential]

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

[emoboi86]

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

That guy is really talented!

[egonander]

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

[FSK1138]

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]

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

[shonkysaint]

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