iPad vs Launchpad vs Monome - 16 Step Sequencing

In this video we talk about the Apple iPad versus the Novation Launchpad versus the Monome - in a topic as old fashioned as 16 step sequencing. The video is not so much about the sequencing as such, but about the different form factors, the haptic and the used software of the three candidates in the comparison. My favorite is the iPad for now, as it offers a minimal footprint with maximum possibilities. From a "touch" perspective and coolness, the monome wins, whereas the Launchpad gains momentum with its budget friendly approach. Go make some music! modul8or

very cool but why would you use any of those machines for 16 step seq when they could be replaced with a single program like logic?

[modul8tor]

@Tokkitaco Its all about live interaction. You are limited with a mouse to one click, with all your fingers the fun starts crawlin...

the layout you use for the ipad in touchosc, you said you changed the template around? could you foward me that touchosc file?

[modul8tor]

@dimitrigc yes I changed the layout. Its very easy, just use the touchosc editor which is free. My templates would not of much use for you, because there is osculator behind translating, plus the full mapping in ableton.

@plastikmang hmm, to be honest, they serve different purposes, and have different user groups. they are just tools. do something with it :)

Which iPad case/cover is that? If you don't mind me asking…

[desktorp]

@abletenor how about some dicks in your mouth?

[abletenor]

what about some acoustic treatment in your room?

@ddrmetal Hahaha, yesss

[ddrmetal]

Many stupid comments about the ipad from people that actually never used, it is obviously the best to control fully all the tracks. There is no latency, the other pads are good for simpler tracks but with touch osc you could also create a button to make jesus appear in the middle of the track

[rilimrc]

what app are you using for the ipad? and how did that monome cost you?

[gxlxs]

@LucidicProductions faders and knobs on ipad, baaaad idea.. no tactile response..

[LucidicProductions]

Launching clips on Launchpad, Faders on Ipad, Step Sequencer on Monome, would be perfect.

live your music :)

If you get a launchpad and make house/techno/electro/dubstep DO NOT buy two. You'll be dealing with loops not little piano rolls.
