In ableton live 11 lite, with my launchkey mini mk3, the sesson pad doesn't light up or do anything, and I cannot figure out why. It seems to have changed from live 10?

Useful video as a new buyer of a Launchkey MkIII 49 ~ I wonder if you can advise me ~ I just bought the Novation Launchkey 49 MkIII ~ intending to start working with Ableton. (I'm 'oldschool' and had always previously worked mostly 'analog and SY85 with CoolEdit)
I find that Ableton is (to me) very non-intuitive, and difficult to understand or get to grips with. (not to mention the irritation of uploading, downloading, registering, and installing all sorts of programs 'add-ons' and interfaces ~ When I just want to make music.
I managed to pick up a QY100 secondhand here in China, and so now I have the Launchkey, a QY100 and my laptop - and have a 'DAW' ~ Cakewalk which is still available as a free download and install ~ No updating, upgrading, subscribing necessary!
My query is this: How can I utilise my LaunchKey 49 as a controller for the QY100, and combine with / record into out of and sequence with through Ableton (or Cakewalk) ?

i started my session i did place the required clips in its place, when the stop/solo/mute button in its default state it is unlit when i press the bottom row under the clips , it does not launch any clip, i just want launch my clips one by one using the stop /solo/mute button in its default state, i don't know why the bottom row of are unlit, advice as the clips is been lunched only together and as if its a scene when i press the upper row of pads not the bottom ones 1:12

How do you change selected clip with the launchkey mini? It doesn't have the same arrow key functionality as the one shown

[champureturns]

I watched the whole video just for the last part thanks lol u should make it video about device control

[guywhoplaysbass]

keyboard lights up but none of the keys do anything. a sound plays from ableton when I plug it in like several keys have been pressed. why does ableton not detect the keyboard?

Hi,

I'm not getting the session option after I plug the midi in. I am getting the signal though, and after I select the instrument I can play it and use the play/stop/record buttons on the launchkey. The only problem is that there's no session view. How do I fix that?

[MrPjalex]

Doesn't show you how to connect it up or where to open it on your Abelton Lite Live .. got no idea how he got that screen pattern like that ...

Hello first off i love my Launchkey 49. One request do you think you could update the software so that device select for effects works like in ableton on logic pro. when i press device select using logic nothing happens and the pads and the pads don't turn white :/ thanks for the help

I accidentally got the mini mk3 25 flkey version instead of ableton. Does it make a difference or the integration would be seamless?

Hi. Using launchkey 49 mk3 and can't understand how to work with more than 8 tracks? I understand this can be done but don't find the information. So if I have 9 tracks on the session mode how to control the 9th? 8 pads only.. What magic button combination should I use to get the 9 to 16 track being controlled ?? Hope for clarity
