Novation Launchpad S controller for Ableton Live at Full Compass Systems.

Novation's Launchpad S comes with Ableton Live music software (Launchpad Edition), which is used by some of the world's top DJs and producers -- plus it supports other grid-based music applications such as FL Studio. Whether you're a DJ, performing musician or studio producer, Launchpad gives you all you need to "play" your software straight out of the box. Use the 64-button grid to launch and manipulate clips, trigger loops, fire off effects, control your mixer -- and much more. Launchpad S also triggers loops and effects in the Novation Launchpad app for iPad; a totally self-standing music performance app that hosts sounds and effects.

Launchpad is totally portable. Hooked up to your computer -- or iPad -- via USB, it's fully bus-powered (no need for power sockets), and it's lightweight and easy to carry anywhere.

The Novation Launchpad iPad app

Novation has created a Launchpad app for iPad, which is a totally self-contained music making and performance experience. This is not a software control app; it hosts its own sounds and enables you to trigger loops with your Launchpad S hardware. There is also a whole range of effects that can be triggered using Launchpad's buttons, including filters, stutters and drum roll-styled effects. They can be triggered in combination to create some incredibly powerful performance tools.

Launchpad S -- the next generation of Launchpad

Launchpad S is the evolution of Novation's best-selling Launchpad 64-button grid music controller -- with much brighter buttons, significantly faster refresh rate and it supports multiple software. It's MIDI Class Compliant so it works with any MIDI software on your Mac or Windows PC. It even works on your iPad via a Camera Connection Kit (not included): Launchpad S converts your iPad into a grid-based music system: no additional power supply required, just plug in and play.

Hello Full Compass, when I enter a sample in my drum rack and tap it on the launchpad it plays it but it fades away. When I hold the button it does play the sample. This didn't happen before, and I can't remember changing anything. If you can, thanks for helping!

It seems when I assign my sounds to the boxes, it wont play through on the Launchpad. Can you help?

How did you get the "Kill The Robot" Sounds Loaded into Live?

does the launch pad come with this software?

Not much help. You speak to fast and don't clearly show what you are doing on the device and software. For instance, you have lot's of preloaded stuff your choosing from your user file. If you are new just getting started, you don't have all this.
