How to use the Novation Launchpad X - The Basics

The Novation Launchpad X and Launchpad Mini Mk3 are the newest entries to the Launchpad family! In this video, I'm going to specifically dive in deeper and discuss the Launchpad X, this will include my initial impressions, how it compares to older Launchpads, and a quick high level overview on how to set it up for beginners out there.

Can't wait for the XR, XS, and XS Max

Ive had one for a year and I this short video has helped me more than other channel I've used so far. I don't feel like I wasted 200 dollars anymore

I’m new to both Ableton Live 11 and my new LaunchPad X . Your video was a bit helpful but for newbies like me it would help if you slow down a bit, and have a better view of the some of the adjustments you made.

Very well explained for an absolute beginner; thank you for the patient explanation of the launchpad x. I just bought one hoping to learn what a grid controller is all about.

Thanks for your video! Just bought my first Launchpad X a few weeks ago. It already looks like a lot of fun, I like the note mode a lot, but I need to learn Ableton as well. So, back to school! :)

It is fader settings the thing that looks like the word PAD. It is actually FAD (for fader), and the setting is for velocity sensitivity on faders.
EDIT: spelling lel

Is it DAW agnostic? Looking for a small box that has transport controls only on it and works with the transport controls in any DAW.

Thanks for the tutorial, we have a LaunchPro (not MK3) and we are trying to customize it, so that we can map the bottom-row (or any row) to audio-effects (cross-fader). As the Launchpad Pro is organized 4x4, we are unable to have a continuous 8 pads row (C1 to F1) to do the Midi Mapping. We also seem to be unable to use the tool by Novation (Component) to customize our Launchpad. Any suggestions? And, is Launchpad Pro, basically a scam, compared to any other model?

Don't know if it's possible or not but can you please do a tutorial for setting up single button light triggers on a launchpad X? Like pressing a button within a drum kit or something and having an effect play, there's no videos out there that show how to do this.

Looks like a mini controller for Dance Dance Revolution

[NorthernMusings]

Fantastic tutorial, only one problem. I'm following along with this and can't manage to get light feedback when I'm in custom mode. Anyone else had this problem and maybe know what I'm doing wrong?

Hopefully I am nearing the upgrade of my PA4x to a PA5x by the use of a few simple tools. 1.) In order to achieve the non-existant pads on the PA4x I've purchased and 2.) using Ableton Live 11 to achieve the dual style playback which will be the more difficult of the two enhancements by far. With the PA4x sounds that are not on par with the PA5x, these should be obtainable via Ableton Live and the "High End" Plugin Library I've built for use in Ableton Live. As Ableton does support an External MIDI Clock Sync (Not merely the MIDI TIME Code "MTC), ths should be doable. Ableton not supporting a TRUE Programming Landuage will definately make things more difficult in creating styles based on Chord Changes so I may be forced to use Logic Pro for the 2nd, IN SYNC, Style Play. Either way, I plan on making this "FREE TO THE WORLD" as I'd truly like to see arranger keyboards get better acceptance from the Professional World at least in the US where they seem to be frowned on. Wish me luck :)
