Novation Launchpad Review

This is my review of the Novation Launchpad. Find out what I think of this longstanding veteran of the Ableton scene and see how it stacks up against the Akai APC40 and upcoming Ableton Push!

Yes you can! You can definitely use it with live intro, and it even comes with a copy of ableton live intro set up for the launchpad.

[arcadex]

Ableton Live Light is included (which is plenty to get you started), but fully featured Ableton Live and Ableton Live Suite are sold separately.

[arcadex]

Yup! You can make your own samples in light or buy and import them into your projects.

Check out my review of the Push to better understand the differences and get my recommendation.

It has some but you can get your own easily. You can either get free sample packs on the web or just slice up your own. Slice to midi using warp markers is your friend.

Great review really informative :) Thanks

[arcadex]

It comes with Ableton Live Lite (Launchpad Edition).

[DidierDeluxe]

Just press an empty button above or below the one that's playing in order to make it stop...

[arcadex]

Which doesn't work if the grid is filled out, or even if that column is full.

Thanks. And Ableton Live Light gives you the opportunity to make your own samples, right? Because I recently saw a site in which you're supposed to buy samples?

[HadesSpartan]

So this is a good starting item for beginners cuz I'm thinking about DJing and making some music and I'm wondering if I should get this to start me off?

[NicolaiSalien]

I was wondering, when buying the Launchpad, is Ableton Live included in the price or is it to be bought seperated from the launchpad?

[halisray]

I'd get the push, more money though.

[wheelchairvlogs]

can you do live performances with ableton live light

[vatoloco]

can i use the launch pad with any abelton ( abelton live intro)w.b asap thank u

[garthward]

hi i'm a beginner and i am wondering with the launchpad would it be good to make dubstep with like adding basses wobbles etc.

[pigeonistvideos]

I'm getting a used APC 40 for $100 so I can skip the Launchpad. For some reason this item never appealed to me although it's priced really well and it is compact.

[andrewturner]

So the luachpad is juat telling abelton what to do thx

[WizardlySundew]

does the abelton push do the same thing what am i better off getting? p;z reply

[Arthimble]

I want to start making music, can I just get this to mix my sounds or would I have to get other things eg instruments or software?
