ben1210 exactly the time stamp I was looking for, thank you, sir! And all the info I wanted was stated within 25 seconds. Class compliant, bus powered on iPad Pro, poly after touch with great sens. Guess I don’t need the LPpro after all!
Thanks so much for your helpful feedback. You answered a lot of questions. I had especially around the components. I have been looking for more information on setting up a custom page. Keep rocking. Thanks.
Hi there, wow that is what alot of the videos i've seen about the novation launchpads don't show. An in depth look in the components page. I'm sure maybe the manual would explain it but I havent seen a video about the components page settings until I saw this video. Awesome video by the way.
Why are there not 8 user config slots for midi mapping? Because when they release the Pro version you'll get 8 or 16 or 32 :) Gotta leave room for the upsell Gaz!!
@@InkyDaCaT Don't get me wrong, they are top notch at firmware updates for some products (Circuit and Bass Station II in particular) but when it comes to controllers they have very carefully defined thresholds where they add additional features. For example the LaunchKey Mk II's firmware will never be upgraded so you can assign midi CC to the faders and knobs - you have to go up a notch to the Impulse range to get that. Ford have been doing it for 100 years.
Me and many others thought the LP Pro was very heavy to trigger notes with. How does the LPx's trigger sensitivity compare to the LP Pro's trigger sensitivity?
Gaz ! You win the Interwebz for today !!! 08:42 That's the best explanation of the Novation pad Keyboard Layout that I've found so far. Having dipped a toe into 'modern controllers' with the Sensel Morph, I was looking to possibly expand the bridge of the Holy Starship Karnak (the Enterprise was taken) with another device. This Launchpad X may well fit the bill, the Pro being a bit pricey for what I'm after; still reeling from the Morph ...
Yup , you made a sale Gaz. 🖖 Launchpad X See Novation for your commision ... Also added an AKAI LPD-8 to add some knob controllers without breaking the bank. (👍 to Rachel K Collier for that tip) I might have gone for the Launchkey Mini 3 but I already have a Keystep (aftertouch) and there's a bit too much overlap ... maybe later if I run out of CC knobs 😉
7:48 "Including, like, an undo, so if you've done something and you don't like it, bang, you hit undo". Like banging your Launchpad Pro on the edge of the table-ouch!
Looking for touch sensitive pad controller to trigger samples in Kontakt for a Kiosk set up. Simple Q but with the Launchpad X could I send all pads on the same midi channel but say customize each row left to right with its own color? To encourage a visual connection with the type of sound it is triggering in my Kontakt samples. Bottom row 1, drums, blue, next row up, bells, green, etc...
This video makes me want it. I mean, Gaz makes it look like it is an easy task to play some cool music, but reality is you have to write and play your own clip. That's the hard part: being creative. Love this video, love this hardware. Cheers :-)
i guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Yahir Theo thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
You can map Groove Agent pads to the Launchpad or any controller with pads easy - it works very well as a sample playing combination. Outside of the Ableton environment the Launchpad default setting is MIDI note.
Is the customizer software to make your own custom settings an on line/browser based/website based application? Can one customize the launchpad X with just the iPad Pro? No desktop needed? I really hope the X can be customized with out a desktop for use iPad Pro users who have divorced themselves from desktop machines. Or at least is there an iOS app for iPad Pro musicians? If either is he case, at $200, Im sold!
Annnnnd since the Ableton 10.1.3 update (support for LPX and LPMM3) Launchpad MK2 doesn't work anymore. Only as a generic controller for midi channel 1....
Is this true I was thinking of buying the mini mk2 as it is on a black Friday deal it comes with ableton live lite are you saying it won't work... I don't have the full version of ableton just logic
13:50 Ableton Live going crazy in the background while you are placing your hand on the Launchpad X. :D
I bought one just now, the X, thanks to you Gaz.
5:30. I love when Gaz ask question and answer by himself.😆 btw. Great review.👍
Could you let us know how to do 10:00? It's so beautiful!
Great review Gaz, I don't have much interest in these devices but you explained them very thoroughly and I stuck around for that. Good job!
Loved the playing too :D
12.19 for symphony of a space traveller
The little intermezzo at 13:00 ish is nothing short of awsome- what a brilliant little idea or "Sim nim tao" as they say in chineese,- 🍏
11:42 killer feature

Just got the little one, just to see if i can get a wee workflow idea working. Thanks for the heads up. on functionality it looks sweet

Excellent review! Thanks so much! 👏😁
Thanks Gaz...best review yet...shhh don't tell the others lol
Damn I was just about to buy the original version the other day... Glad I waited!
They works only with ableton live?
if the apple does not change anything soon we will call their company in its entirety a Klagnut, Gaz is our leader and we like our leader!
Why no sequencer??
Viewer buys Launchpad X. Buyer opens box. Box opener connects Launchpad X to Animoog before anything else. Because... Gaz. 12:25
Does the launchpad x have more rgb colors than my mk2 launchpad?

PS - Great job on the review
They will release a launch pad pro 2..but novation are generally good at not selling you a mk2 rather than giving updates.

Jørgen Hamran much much lighter on the X. Very gentle pressure will trigger.
When did Chuck Noland start doing gear reviews??
Great review!. Thanks.

Do these things work well with bitwig? Looking at the new Pro mk3
What microphone are you using Gaz? Your voice sounds fantastic.
stafstro ahh well spotted! It is a new mic. A Lewitt LCT 640 S in fact!
hello new here, can I use the launch pad x, with the Korg Trinity and Novation Peak and the Strymon, thank you for your help
0:15 where is Jackson from Modal? Jackson, where are you hiding? ;)
Yes its a new game in the music tech world. Hiding Jackson amongst tech vids. Ours was a bit easy this wasn’t it?
Who's da bomb? Gaz Willims is da bomb! The new launchpads look pretty cool too. An excellent review 👍
Thanks Gaz!
Great review man.
Raisin De Terre ... is that like Pomme De Terre ?
If a Pomme De Terre is a Potato 🥔
Is a Raisin De Terre a Peanut ? 🥜

What cable is being used to connection the ipad pro to the lpx?
Can the launchpad mini do panning and send A or send B?

@Bennett Jasper You are welcome :)
Finally a small form factor 64 pad controller with velocity sensitivity!
If you are referring to the Mini it's not velocity sensitive. The X is velocity sensitive and has aftertouch.
Could you try this on Cubase too Gaz? Would be interesting... although the generic remote is a bit dodgy.
You can map Groove Agent pads to the Launchpad or any controller with pads easy - it works very well as a sample playing combination. Outside of the Ableton environment the Launchpad default setting is MIDI note.
I'm looking for something similar to integrate with Cubase 10 and Native Instruments Battery. Could this be suitable? And how?
props to you, your the only person ive seen that has answered my question about if the note mode and scale funtions work without ableton live
Does anyone know if all of this works with Studio One 5 ? Thanks

You have the most polite ways of saying “I have no idea why the f they did ______” 😁
Woulda loved to see the X’s Poly-AT with a Novation Peak (which I understand responds to Poly-AT)

X actually stands for 10 ... As in 10 years of launchpad 👍

Hello and welcome to winterfell
Does the world need another pad controller?
Honestly do.not see the point of the LPX, the LPP has far better functionality... And even that is a pain in the ass!
If you have Gas.. don't watch Gaz
