Superb tutorial, sincerely. There are not enough total beginner tutorials on this stuff, especially when it comes to Ableton.
THIS IS AMAZINGLY SIMPLE NOW THANK YOU
You actually convinced me to get this one, you can do a lot of things in that little box. You are the first one to really explain all the functions, thank you very much from Argentina!

This has been one of the most helpful videos out there. Can you do a video on sampling and loops?
Great intro. I think this is the one I'm going to order. I originally was looking at the MiniLab MK2 because I have the full version of Analog Lab and Pigments. But this looks like it can be set up to control it too, and has a lot more for Ableton, which is more important once I get the audio sounds I want.

Hi! I really liked your video, and i want to buy this launchkey but its my first time buying something like this so ill need help! I have an acoustic guitar that has no plug in, so could i buy this launchkey and attach it to my laptop and record and loop my guitar live (through laptops mic)? Idk if it will work because as i said, i have nothing to attach my guitar to... thank you❤️
I wish I knew what you were talking about girl😭😭😭 one day I'll understand. I was impulsive and just bought this stuff. one day!!😭
From all the reviews it seems amazing for ppl who primarily use Ableton, since the Launchkey is custom made for Ableton, but im curious how much is lost for ppl who use a different DAW, such as Tracktion.
Thank you! Super helpful tutorial!!

Nice vid thx! I think i want this one, can i map the pots for every effect change ??
This is great! I do have a question: how do i change the fixed chord once i made it?
thanks for this, appreciate it, could you explain to me how i could make my pads not velocity sensitive, if that is a option. i would rather change velocity manually in ableton so i dont have to smack the pads to get max velocity while everyone is sleeping, its quite noisy. i would just like all pads to have a velocity of 100 no matter how hard the hit, is this possible? thanks

I got one the other day. I originally bought it to use in Logic. It works well in logic but I did download the lite version of Ableton live 11. I can't figure it out. I've got to learn all the functions and buttons etc... I have no idea currently!
Can you use the Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 standalone without a computer? I know, it need to be usb powered, but I want to use it without Ableton. Does it has sounds in it already?
How do I map the pads to different drum sounds from a drum library such as KONTAKT? Do you have a video for that?
thank you, darling

What do you recommend? This or the arturia minilab mk2 for a logic pro user?

Hmm, a lot of the really cool function in the Lanchkey have been built for compatibility with Ableton. The main function of the Minilab and the Launchkey seem to be fairly similar outside of this if you were using a different DAW. I'd say the main point of consideration is whether you more heavily use the pots (as the Minilab has 16 of these as opposed to 8 in the Launchkey) or the pads (as the Launchkey has 16 of these as opposed to 8 in the Minilab). I personally use the pads more :) Hope that was slightly helpful!

The keys on the Novation feel great and the sensitivity of the pads are excellent. It's something Novation has really improved on compared to the MK1. I haven't personally used the arturia so can't really comment on the keys on it unfortunately.

@@musicproductionforwomen Wow, that sounds great. Thanks for the help. Really sorry for the silly questions but the only thing legit stopping me from getting the novation is that i've read many review saying it has "cheap" feeling keys like the akai :/ and also that it doesn't "integrate" well with logic. Help me choose, please xD
I'm completely lost: How do I use the pitch and modulation slides? It might be a stupid question, but either they don't give any input, or I havent found something that actually makes use of it, yet.
So, there's play and record on the Launchkey Mini, and then there's the play and record in the Ableton Live. When do you use which?
Thank u for this.❤ The problem I'm having with my new Launchkey is it works fine with any other instrument sound in my DAW (piano, guitar, etc.) But if I try to use any of the drums, it only plays 3 drum sounds on the first couple keys of the piano, but no other drums sounds will play, and none of the other keys make a sound. It's so frustrating 😫

Don't know of this is helpful or not but if you select the "drum mode" on the launchkey, the pads will turn blue, and they will trigger whatever drum kit you have selected in ableton. (Midi channel 10.) It is not possible to configure what pad plays wich drum, you will have to assign them in your DAW. If you want to play drum sounds with the keys, maybe you need to go down or up an octave.
Hello friend ! I have Novation Launchkey 49 mk 3. DAW - Ableton. Such a problem, in midi arrange mode the keyboard plays only one track in the project. I switch to another track, it still plays the same track. tools do not switch. only one instrument plays in the project.;(((
how do you change the velocity of the pads and keys
Can I use this controller with studio one?
I really need to know how to set up the buttons and be able to use the device
The last 3 keys have a circle, a triangle, and a square label above it. What do those do? Couldn't find it in the manual
Will this also work with Cakewalk?
Thx! I have a question. I'm a new Lauchkey Mini MK3's user. When I press shift button, only 3 buttons light up: drum, custom and other custom. How can I fix that problem? How can I open the session mode?
