    I have recently made a newer launchpad cover tutorial video - that is, a more compact, streamlined launchpad cover tutorial. If you want *in depth* and thorough, then you should continue to watch this series BUT if you want *quick & to the point* then take 10 minutes to watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/lSLN-jbw_OQ/v-deo.html

    Hey everyone! It's been a while, huh?
    I'm back with a new tutorial series, meant for those of you who aren't as experienced with the launchpad. This has surprisingly been my most requested video series, so hopefully some of you will find it helpful! Who's excited for part 2?
    Thanks, have a great day! :D

      InspirAspir when is part 2 going to come out?

    • @InspirAspir
      @InspirAspir  8 років тому +1

      I don't know the exact date part 2 will be released, but I will do my best to get it out ASAP. Just keep in mind that I am a full-time college student, and unfortunately making videos is not my top priority at the moment. But I will do what I can in order to put out the next part as quickly as possible! Thanks for watching :D

      @InspirAspir  8 років тому +1

      Thank you! I started off making tutorial videos where I rambled and didn't get to the point. I looked back on these videos and decided I didn't like that style, so recently I've been trying to edit these tutorials so they only contain what's important. Thank you for noticing, I hope this series helps you out :D

    Hey, I just got my Launch pad Pro like 3-4 days ago, the one with the "Setup" button on the top left corner, I don't know if that's normal or not, but on 5:07 you pressed a button with one color and stayed in one color, but what mine does is the light, lights up but what bothers me is if I press the button (even the same one), the different colors shows up instead, for example, I press the same button and the color changes every time I press it.
    Weather it's normal or not, is it possible to change it, so it stays in one color just like yours?
    Please do let me know.
    Thanks,
    P.S. My launch pad device is exactly the same as yours.

    • @mmrdrums
      @mmrdrums 7 років тому +9

      Okay, so I had the exact same problem but its an easy fix!
      In the task bar Go into Options -> Prefrences, and a options menu should pop up titled "prefrences".
      Then on the sidebar in the preferences menu click "Link Midi".
      Here is where it might get complicated so be prepared hahaha! Make sure your settings are as follows...
      1) Under "control Surface", in the first line, select "launchpad".
      2) under "Input", in the first line, select "launchpad mini".
      3) under "Output", In the first line, select "Launchpad mini"
      Have "Task Over Mode" selected to "none"
      Now Under "midi Ports"
      In "Input" have your:
      "Track" set to "ON". your "sync" set to "OFF", and your "remote" set to "ON"
      In the first "Output have everything set to "OFF".
      And in the second "Output" have :
      "Track" set to "ON". your "sync" set to "OFF", and your "remote" set to "ON"
      now when u try to select the launchpad outputs it should work :)))

  • @ItsImprovedAI
    @ItsImprovedAI 8 років тому

    Hey bud.... in this video u taught us only the basics which almost every Launchpader knows....... I expected better than this from you...... but then also...... it's amazing and I hope the "Part 2" comes soon!!!!!

    • @OmegaVibe
      @OmegaVibe 8 років тому

      That's because it's for those who are new to a launchpad :P
      Not really for those who already know how to work with it.

    • @InspirAspir
      @InspirAspir  8 років тому +1

      Yup! I agree with OmegaVibe ^^^
      It kinda defeats the whole purpose of making a tutorial video if I were to gloss over the material that beginners may not be familiar with. Just because you may know the concepts, does not mean everyone else does. I'm sure not everyone who picked up a launchpad for the first time in their life knows exactly how to set up their launchpad to receive MIDI input and get output, so this video was geared towards those beginners who don't know where to start. Plus, this is only part 1, implying that I plan on making future videos explaining everything in depth.
      Thanks for watching anyways

      (Specifically page 10)
      Press and hold the top-left-most button on your launchpad (it is a tiny black circle that is almost flush with the rest of your launchpad). As you press it, the options on page 10 of this guide will light up. Press the button corresponding to "velocity off" or one of the three other settings to change the touch sensitivity :D

    • @InspirAspir
      @InspirAspir  8 років тому

      Yup, Ableton Lite should let you create a basic cover. If you had Suite you could use certain plugins to do additional things for your cover, but Ableton Lite should let you create a cover nonetheless :D

    Hmm, how i can use channel 3? Cause i seen in many projects channel 3 + channel 6, that give me pulse fade effect on output (I'm on LP Pro)

    • @InspirAspir

      Hm, I've never heard anyone use channel 3. If you really wanted to use channel 3, I"m sure there is some way to remap the input settings for you launchpad. However, I see no benefit to doing this. You can still easily make a fade effect regardless of the channel input

      Satoru Yasukawa make sure your using user 1 instead of session mode. That's what tripped me up
