Just bought a launchpad X and this video made me 100x more excited to explore my creativity. Sessions and beat making are gonna be insanely fun and these tips are extremely useful, thanks man!
by far best launcpad X video out of the many I have viewed, title sells it short as this actually covers more than finger drumming in a really clear and easy way. Big thanks
Thanks for a really informative introduction to the world of the launchpad X ! I just ordered one and can't wait to get to do some finger drumming! I have never used a launchpad.
Nice video! Can you make a start to finish tutorial on how to set up a launchpad x to Logic Pro for finger drumming and set your custom sounds. Setting that you use on the launchpad etc? Also if you could show how to finger drum connected to an iPhone with GarageBand or android so I can finger drum on the go as well, it would be awesome to see those, thanks! :)
I wish it would lay out the modes in their correct order on that settings view. Is there a way to do this? I.e. Ionian (major), then dorian, then phrygian, lydian, myxolydian, aeolian, locrian? It just makes so much more sense when you know how they interact with each other.
Is there any way I can either record directly into the novation sound files, or download them individually load them into pads so that they stay resident then the unit is switched off? I then want to take it to a gig, hit one pad and have the sound clip play. Is that possible? I can use Ableton to set the unit up but don't want a computer on the stand.
It s possible any configuration of midi notes, for example 3 pads with the same midi note ? For an acoustic drumkit it would be nice to use 2 or 3 pads with the same midi note message for fast ripetitions on kick, snare etc...
@@splice i did what you did, set two drum racks on the bottom then a few rows of keys up top. But my drum racks don't work? The keys do, they're all set to different midi tracks--
In session mode, can we import recorded guitar or bass guitar WAV file in launchpad. My idea is to sing and play along in a live situation(it would be a 1 man rock band situation).
Good night, how can I leave the lights already preset without pressing them? Since I want to play a drum theme and I want to divide each instrument with a color to guide me, I don't want the lights to stop being turned on. Thank you very much for your contribution.
After I use components and setup a custom mode that has say 4 drum grids on custom 1 how do I put sounds onto the pads after too play can someone plese help me?
Yeah, I got the same problem I like to create a custom layout (like the one from quest for groove) and assign sound (kick, snare, HH,etc.) to that custom layout pads did you or some else if that is possible in ableton live?
How can I make it so that I have different instruments at different parts of the pad? Do I need to use the same channel or is it possible to configure different channels and different instruments to those channels and use them all at the same time? I have this grid with lowest 32 pads with 2 colors, both 4x4 and I want different instruments on both but I don't know how to do it. At the moment every pad button plays the drum kit when I put it on track 1.
You can do this all on one midi track (1) right click on your drum rack in your midi track where it says “drum rack” then click “group” (2) this will make it an instrument rack and you’re going to click the small circle that looks like it has 3 dots and 3 lines, should be 2 buttons down from the on/off button for the instrument rack, this will open up the chains (3) hit the “key button” this will bring up a keyboard and a bar beneath it, drag the bar to cover the range of notes you want your drum rack to be on (4) to add other instruments on different parts of the launchpad just right click underneath the drum rack chain and hit “create chain” then again move the bar to fit where you want that instrument to be on your launchpad with the notes then just drag whatever vst into the area to the right of the keyboard where it says “drop an instrument or sample here” hope this helps! Feel free to shoot me a message if you need help I know its a lot over just text
I was trying too figure out how too make all 8 custom pages have drum racks on all the 4 quadrants and how too put drum sounds all all 4 quadrants on all 8 custom pages plese someone help or feel like making another tutorial
So the X only has 4 custom pages, you’ll need the pro for 8. Go to novationmusic.com/components and you can customize each page with 4 drum grid widgets at whichever midi channels you want. Hope this helps.
Just i setup the custom pages with drumracks on all 4 quadrants for all 8 pages but how do I assign drum sounds too them after a little different than the old launchpad pros
Bill Showers so that will depend on which daw you are using, in ableton that means making a drum rack instrument and dropping your samples in there. Assuming you’ve set up the Launchpad so the drum grids are chromatic, any sampler will work up from your starting note
@@tannerdowning-mcadams110 so I make a drum rack for all 8 pages like the previous launchpad pros because I tried that and when I put drum sounds onto the pads they didnt play maybe someone can make a tutorial on this subject would be much appreciated I'm confused on the newer launchpads compared too the older ones and yes I use ableton
@@connectusvariety2240 people use this word wrong.... To judge someone they way your saying is from the Bible and it means to judge someone to heaven or hell....like how a judge today says free or prison. So we can have our own opinions of each other....but we can't say stuff like "he is bad, he is going to hell" orc "she is good, she will be in heaven" we can't make those judgements. Any other "judgment" you can make....just not the one God makes....get it.?
