13:50 Ableton Live going crazy in the background while you are placing your hand on the Launchpad X. :D

Thanks so much for your helpful feedback. You answered a lot of questions. I had especially around the components. I have been looking for more information on setting up a custom page. Keep rocking. Thanks.

Hi there, wow that is what alot of the videos i've seen about the novation launchpads don't show. An in depth look in the components page. I'm sure maybe the manual would explain it but I havent seen a video about the components page settings until I saw this video. Awesome video by the way.

Great review Gaz, I don't have much interest in these devices but you explained them very thoroughly and I stuck around for that. Good job!

The little intermezzo at 13:00 ish is nothing short of awsome- what a brilliant little idea or "Sim nim tao" as they say in chineese, - 🍏

[kabood]

if the apple does not change anything soon we will call their company in its entirety a Klagnut, Gaz is our leader and we like our leader!

[hitplaybeats]

[stafstro]

What microphone are you using Gaz? Your voice sounds fantastic.

[AveMcree]

[marcgourlay]

Who's da bomb? Gaz Willims is da bomb! The new launchpads look pretty cool too. An excellent review 👍

You have the most polite ways of saying “I have no idea why the f they did 😁

Me and many others thought the LP Pro was very heavy to trigger notes with. How does the LPx's trigger sensitivity compare to the LP Pro's trigger sensitivity?

Calling dibs on Raisin Deter for my new band name!
