I think loopop mentioned this as well but it would be very cool if the chord map could be used directly with the arpeggiator

One thing about the Chord Map feature that I wish they'd change, is that there is no way to 'freeze' one of the chords at whatever inversion you like best. You can only keep cycling through the inversions by holding down one of the modifier pads. Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to be able to choose whichever one you like for that song, and apply it to that chord pad?

Is it possible to get it to display the names of the chords you are playing on the keys, whilst you are in drum pad mode? Like it does on user chord mode. I don't have any practical reason for this I just think it would be nice.

Yeah the chords are definitely a step up on my Mk3!! Not sure I like how they swapped the pads and faders, my muscle memory won't like that lol. I might do what you're doing, I'll just grab the small mk4 to compliment my larger Mk3

I'm guessing I could plug this into my Moog Subphaty for some pretty cool Bass grooves for live improvisation. Maybe use chord functions with Korg Wavestate. All as bonus features beyond looking for a new controller keyboard for Ableton Live.

I know that the knobs can be programmed using components to send out midi cc’s. But my question is - when you are using the arp features such as adjusting the gate for example, is that also sending out cc’s while you do that? In other words, could you use an external midi recording device to “record” those knob movements as automation? (Or, does the keyboard itself have away to record automation of knob movements?)

add Bluetooth to this and its will be a must to get for me hope on mk5

Does the new launchkey mk4 have support for REASON?
