Launchpad Mini is a compact version of the celebrated Novation Launchpad performance controller. Designed for the iPad generation, Launchpad Mini features 64 three-colour launch pads and 16 performance buttons. Play loops, samples, sounds, control effects and more. Produce and perform music immediately with your iPad, Mac or PC.
Designed to get you making music straight out of the box, Launchpad Mini is entirely bus-powered from your iPad, Mac or PC. It comes with a suite of software, including Ableton Live Lite for your computer - plus the Launchpad App for iPad.
The Launchpad app for iPad includes a pre-loaded professional sound library that you can use instantly to create music. The Launchpad app transforms Launchpad Mini into an integrated performance instrument. In addition to the built-in sounds, you can import additional sound packs. Launchpad app upgrades will allow you to import your own samples. Complete your performance with filters and DJ style effects - and then share your creations with the world. Launch your music.
For all the 11-15 year olds on here that have watched a few martin garrix/diplo/trapnation covers using launchpads on youtube, this is a tool used for producing music. It's used as a controller when producing your own music on a DAW, lets you select different channels, control the pan, increase the attack, disable certain tracks, trigger sounds etc. All those 'covers' are is essentially people transferring different sounds from a song and activating the channels in a rehearsed fashion to recreate the song live. Note this is just one of the things that can be done with this controller and it isnt the main selling point at all. If youre gonna expect to be doing that shit without learning anything about music production or producing your own shit, then you shouldnt buy one at all. Thanks.
I'm not in your specified demographic, but I'm grateful for your comment! Does the mini allow scale-safe notes all lit up like the LP pro or push does? if yes, is there a way to toggle scale types on this, or just chromatic? Can you also use this to program drums and toggle tracks in session mode on ableton? It's just really unclear to me what this is capable of, and these intro videos don't say enough!
rip brother
daaze that's why I'd don't get any fucking thing XD
daaze and I'm 15 too XD
YES I CAN DO ANY MUSIC AND NOT LEARN ANYTHING BECAUSE IM SO SMART AND 200 IQ
Everyone!
This video is meant only for producers (not even for djs). He did a great job explaining what the mpk is meant for!
Hey please, do you know how to enable MIDI mapping of the "overdub" button ? I mean like, to trigger signal recording of one channel ? I don't know if this was very clear but I'm struggling with this, actually :'(
just curious, i dont actually understand this thing, but this thing is really amazing,
It's a controller for Ableton Live.
true😂
and flstudio
😮😮😮
I have one
I'm lost...
+thomassaurus I'm going to wave my hand and make a sandwich appear.
+CrazyIvan1988 wtf
nice💖💖
that's how I ended up here
For something the size of a mousepad, it’s a powerful addition to a mobile setup. 👍
To all the kids that want to make music with that: Forget that thing! IT'S A CONTROLLER FOR ABLETON LIVE! Nothing more and nothing less. Easy to understand and very useful if you're an Aleton Live user.
This is not a toy!!! Nevertheless it can make a lot of fun if you know how to use it.
Too many kids on youtube that like colored pads, I guess. :D
How to get a kid to buy a launchpad
1. make it watch a video with launchpads
2."wow pls gib me one dady"
3.that kid buys a launchpad
2 days later **amazon prime shipping**
4. DADDY PLS HELP ME I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS WORKS ;-;
5.Done, congratulations!
To be serious, those kids have fucking rich parents. In a year, I only can get a thing up to 100$, while those kids get stuff like in fcking restaurants "i want this and this" and they get it
All those kids get launchpads and don't know how to use them, while there are lots of people that are broke and want them
I want a launchpad donate me pls
Yes. You can also control FL Studio in Performance Mode.
anyone else not understand a god damn thing, just wanting to see how tf people make sounds on this thing?
leomelgar21 the key is the daw (digital audio workstation). what he's doing is mapping the controls to actual sounds he's preloaded into his daw (drum racks) on separate instances.
leomelgar21 ikr like da fuaq he saying
Yeah i also don't understand shit
leomelgar21 that's just a pad. You don't really make music with it. You could make beats but most people use it to launch clips during live performances
I am sure this is good info for people who can set this unit up.
I can't. So it would be nice to know how to use it / how to set it up with hauptwerk...The basics.
How do we get the number and letter buttons to light for a start?
Then how do we nominate say "A" - "1" - second row, button 3??
Any help would be really appreciated.
I really want one
But it seems really complicated
Yeah I'm a kid and it does look so hard tooooooooooo!! 😕
sokrith sokrith
I have one
Trust me , it is also complicated to me when I bought one but after that i watched many tutorials and i learn how to play it slowly..
Same, everything about Pro Audio equipment makes me interested and excited but I have no use for it besides siting in my apartment and just jamming to myself.
When you think DJs are nothing but guys playing a song on a party, and then you find this...turns out electronic music CAN be fun and hard to do if done right...also, as a guitarist, I didn't know what the fuck you were doing or playing, but I WANT THIS!
Thanks for a very simple and useful explanation, can't wait to get mine which I've just ordered together with the Novation Hub 4x2...
you looks like my science teacher
and you looks like you hates your english teacher
+TheGrayWolf81
LOLLLLLL
what is you saying
+TheGrayWolf81 im dead😂😂😭
+xDarkTeddyBear you teach like my science looker.
I just got a Launchpad mini for christmas and I needed help on how to use a Launchpad. Not what I was expecting I need more help, I'm kinda confused. :\
I will answer your answer if u tell me what they r
Nestor garcia You can be able to make music or remix a song like skrillex, or a dead mouse song. What I'm trying to do is make Trap or Drumstep
Dragor Overlord i got the full size one..I'm having the same problem.. I did the song "sail" with it but I really want to do a remix
The Funny Gaming Brony No like I haven't played anything on it never even heard a sound from it, I might just get my money back, and return it
Dragor Overlord hmmm..if you have any way to msg me let me know..it took me a few days just to figure out sounds.. what have you tried?
Who Else Doesn't Has One But Still Watching This?
Only Me? Oh Okay..
it appears that one must already know how to use this before the video can help. This this sux!
Who STILL doesn't know how these Launchpad Einstiens do it?
Why does it take him 2 full seconds to start
It didn't actually, you were stuck in a time loop.
+FlapJacks Am i in the matrix?
JST Minecraft Should have taken the red pill buddy, now you're stuck in the matrix forever.
+FlapJacks I am stuck
JST Minecraft Forever
looks like a fascinating piece of kit with alot of depth to it.
Why cant u just download a song at it and click random shit and look smart
I thought it's like that😂
..you can actually, in a way
I think nobody actually nows what the hell are you doing mate.
I'm still buying one
This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Pretty cool. Just to clarify, are you using a midi quantization tool to get the hand drumming you did to sit nicely in time in the mix?
Man I just wanna know how people make launchpad covers and shit
that is harder then having sex
LMAO
Frill tho
its hard when you dont know how to use it, if you know what i mean
an ladies do come with instructions :)
then it must be easy
I watched your tutorial and tested my new launchpad mini but in user mode 1 when i use drum rack the ligth doesnt work on each pad, and works in other functions but can you tell me please if i have to power on or some thing for works on drum racks, thx in advanced
When the video started and I saw your face I almost fell out of my chair.... wasn't expecting a face at the start
This looks awesome. Wish I could have one myself and play around with different sounds. Looks complicated, but I'm a fast learner lol
i wish I had one of lauch pad I am practicing at a android app called Unipad I play the song I love you by OMFG
i have one. and i wont reccommend buying it. if you want serious Fun buy a midi fighter by DJTT
unfortunately you need to know a lot more about music and the different notes. My best friend is thinking of buying one. She has done music all her life so she knows all the notes and everything. I am in the process of trying to learn them so then I can move onto this.
Hey, I'd love this video to be a bit clearer on how it got to record the finger drum pattern into a clip. I'm able to play finger drum but can't have it recorded like in this vid. Talks about midi mapping or something... ?
Able to do it within Ableton with my mouse but it's tedious and not efficient.
@@stevecarufel8353 Actually... I've you've find a solution about this... I'd be really grateful. Please :'(
but u dont show how it works im lookin to use a launchpad and im 14 but i cant set it up so can u show a video on how to get the basic sounds
I'm getting one iv been saving up and finally have enough
Fuck this I'm sticking to my guitar
BamBamJoe same XD but instead a piano
wow i finally found a talented person here
actually, i play both of those instruments and i produce trap/hardstyle so kinda just trumped you both xD. But its good there are actually some decent kids who know a thing or two about music and havent just got a launchpad for their birthday after watching an aviccii levels remix with one on yt lmao. Those kids make me cringe.
Well, inducing mistakes. Functionality is not the same, there's no velocity sensivity. The grid being smaller, makes it a tidy bit harder to play. The pads have less quality when pressing. Even though they are really similar.
What else do you need to get creative with this launchpad. Besides a laptop and I guess good speakers? Will the music you make be saved onto a file on the laptop and then downloaded to ipod? Getting for my kid but need to make sure I don't need to purchase some other expensive equipment for it to work. She's a beginner.
Don't buy it for your kid. You definitely need a computer and have to get used to specific software (Ableton Live). This is not a music instrument. It's a controller.
You need either Ableton Live (the Lite Version comes with the Launchpad) or the Launchpad App for Ipad. So yes, a Laptop or an IPad. The App is more of a gadget unless you start loading your own samples into it and to do so they have to be pre-recorded into something, which takes us back to Ableton Live. Ableton Live is a profesional tool for producers and musicians and might be a bit overwhelming for beginners but there's plenty of tutorials online. It's intuitive and very powerful and with the right skill it can be your best companion. In a nutshell, this unit is just a control interface for the real music making tool.
Don't get this for your kid.
yeah really creator? did you just memorise those squares or justvuse virtual dj set tobprogram the beats and songsbin the pad?
I'm trying to figure out how to use lights to display sharps and flats for playing a piano. I think I can use lights to show "black and white " keys in user mode, but can't figure out how to have the link guys come on and stay on without me having to trigger them first. Anyone got any ideas or links they can share?
novation impulse + launchpad + fl studio + vsts + moderate level of iq + music sense = you can be awesome
Does the launchpad mini work with iPhone? I have a computer but I want it to be more portable than that. So I’m looking for launchers that don’t need computers. I have an iPhone7. Would this work and are there any better recommendations? Thanks!
Thanks . So it is same basically. Beside size?!
good tutorial--- the guy in the back ground kept distracting me--- my main question is what kind of pc can I run this from. Thanks for the info!
the ableton live (software) is available for Mac and Windows
cheers, can it be use with the piano roll as a keyboard with a vst synth?
So does the launchpad mini plug into computers, tablets, or both? I haven't really found an answer so if you know please reply
Jaffamix Gaming it works on My iPad but i need to use a Dongle
Amazing launchpad so cool
I don't understand but this thing is cool
Omg as soon as I clicked on the video I saw an ABLETON AD!!
What about the ones that are way smaller and have round keys?
Kaden Brown you set them on fire.
I just ordered one and this seems helpful!
Been looking at buying a synth for a couple of weeks now, as I wanted to be able to make music as well as DJ, pretty much brand new to this though, been using a Hercules Instinct for a year and a half but thats it, experimented slightly with FL and Magix as well. Was looking at a Mininova or Bass Station to link up to a Denon MC600MK2 as I Iove the acidic retro sound, however I've been really impressed with what you can achieve with the Launchpad, a Twitch and I imagine either Serato or Ableton, or both. Was wondering if you could use a vocoder with the latter setup and whether you'd require a soundcard, or whether the Mininova would work better with the Twitch. Any ideas?
Clear as mud.
Guess I have too take it off my chrismas list
Live 9 is complex as hell. i really need to take some classes on this.
Do I need to buy a software for the mixing ? and are there any free ones out there ?
fl studio is great and its free
+entercotornist It is not but the demo is almost the same.
The only diffence is that you cant open files you saved.
***** but other people can open it
+TheCoBBus The launchpad right now comes with a free copy of ableton lite when you purchase it
On my launchpad mini no lights :(
Plz help
RoyalFlush be sure to use a powered usb if your on a hub
Do you have to download new tracks if you want new percussive sounds? If so where do you get them? And if you have to pay for new percussive sounds I'm out. I'm only asking cause I'm thinking of getting one for xmas but it seems so damn confusing!
Great review. Should just tell those potheads in the background to talk a little quieter. =]
Good idea!
Is it hard to push the buttons? and is it any diffrence with the buttons bewteen novataion launchpad mini and the normal launchpad?
I use the launchpad s
To me is quite ok
Is not too too easy to press because is not a spring under the button
But is still quite fun to play with
ia the volume thing an Ableton only thing or can I do that in other DAWs..What midi program number is needed in that widget?
great this really makes sense *sarcasm if you haven't noticed yet*
so basically all u need is a computer, the cord, the app, and the mini?
and the DAW
clips, scenes and racks, that's it. i don't know who would try to mix faders w/ buttons.
i got sound out put its laggy, and idead how to fix that (btw, i didnt watch the vid, so if he explains it in the vid, just tell me. Im lazy)
Do programs come with the launchpad to create the music with? If so, just recap, which ones? And it will allow me to make my own music and upload my own samples? And I only need this launchpad and a laptop as materials, right?
you get ableton live 9 lite
I'm thinking about getting the mini, but I'm really new to this stuff, I just wanna know, is "Maschine" software compatible with this pad?
mathew vollmer I think it's just ableton live
Riley Q no FL Studio is also compatible
I need some help with how to use ableton with the launchpad mini, i don't know how to set it up. It would be great if you could help me
when i bought the launchpad mini it only came with the launchpad and its warrent. i dont know how to get ableton live 9 ,can i someone help me please thank you very much
Thank you helped me a lot although it was pretty confusing in the end I understood everything
I have a question, do you have to have ableton for you launchpad, or can you use something else, bc I can't afford ableton
Ableton Live Light is included. But I heard you can also use it with FL Studio. But I would definitely recommend it to use with Live.
Is there any way to get visual feedback (led feedbabk) if you map a row (filter for example) or button (for example play, overdub etc) ?
Thank youuuu!!! But it's a little bit complicated :)) 💕 I have one :> ♥️
Can I plug a Launchpad into my Acer Aspire and use FamiTracker with it? I don't want to scrap FamiTracker for Ableton Live.
do you need to buy the Albeton editor thing or does it come with the launchpad?
Ableton Live light is included.
Thanks for doing this
Would this software be compatible with The Big Sur update?
Excellent, friend. Thanks.
im more lost now then when i first started
are all this features available and works in any other daw beside ableton live im using with my launchpad mini?? im using both studio one 3 professional and logic pro x... thank you...
this is hard and i did not expect that
do you know, if the Novation launchpad mini / mini mark II generally comes with a decent Ableton Live Version? with the new "simpler"?? I have got a couple of hardware samplers and a bunch of other DAWs... looking for a new USB pad controller today.
yes, I know but I was asking if this bundled version is decent or not!
If you are working with the lite version of Ableton live 9 could you tell please whether for example the "Simpler" is included in Ableton Live Lite 9 and also about the quality of the bundled virtual instruments / effetcs and the quantity of the midi tracks and audio tracks.
Easy and difficult at the same time,and u showed nothing oldmAn!
well that's the problem , it's difficult to find a step-by-step video tutorial and it's difficult to learn by just watching as well... i learned many things about novation impulse by just trial and error after getting frustrated just like you...
who else is
watching this is 2021?
😎
What is the use of Launchpad in Music production..?
its just a square keyboard? i thought it was 10000 times harder than that , just need to remember the set keys and tada music!
Can it be used without a PC/laptop/Mac on stage?
I got an ad about ableton live.
No joke.
Honestly.
I mean really.
I cant get the light keys working but the beats come on,can you help me?
Thanks! Really helped
if i order it from djkit is it 100% gonna arrive and if it doesn't do i get my money back?
how big is the launchpad mini as I'm thinking of buying 1?
Mini
@DJkit how did you do that with the midilearn?? i do'nt find a button in Ableton where i can record what i do into an empty slot... it's really the only thing I don't understand with the launchpad...
I love you British people as I am one
I might get this
Does the ableton software come with the pad?
if i buy a launchpad does i got a program to the computer?
great review
So does anybody know if this thing can be used as a midi controller? Would work perfectly as a companion to Maschine Studio as a sort of piano roll. Already have a couple midi controllers (Axiom 49, Komplete Kontrol S49) But I just don't have the room with my setup.
Hello i have a question.
Can i use the novation launchpad for FL Studio Mobile on the iPad?
Friend me if it works for logic pro x . Excuse my English is that I have to use a translator. and thanks for your contribution
I don't know how to install Ableton Live. Can sb help me please?
does it need to connected to the other audio devices?
You just need to connect to the computer, but you can connect to novation audio devices
Can you make your own music on that? And can you record the music on your computer I don't want to film myself using the launchpad just the the audio/music
yeah u can
The British Stipe Miocic.
Me to but I am get one in Christmas I am so happy
