Hey thanks! You are the most helpful.
Everyone else is like, “here watch my tutorial,”
and then they masterfully perform a song live.
Lol
Bahaha that's hilarious 😂 glad you found it useful!!
"Here's a simple demo I did to show you the simple functions we've covered."

I totally agree, first time I can actually follow what's happening and learn something !
same here : eventually put 'learn' in front of launchkey mini
I've been struggling with the manuals for a couple of months now. In 3 minutes, you explained more than the instructions it came with. Thank you!
Hahaha, glad it was useful 😄
Your came with a manual???
@@sicilianbeddu123 It's loaded on each keyboard.
Thanks for this! I was struggling to find a quick/simple overview of the LaunchKey Mini 3; all of the other videos I found assumed that the viewer had a LOT more knowledge than I currently have. Stay safe! Ian :-)
Thanks for the comment Ian and so glad you found it useful! :) you too, stay safe and look after yourself! Xylo
Superb tutorial, sincerely. There are not enough total beginner tutorials on this stuff, especially when it comes to Ableton.
You actually convinced me to get this one, you can do a lot of things in that little box. You are the first one to really explain all the functions, thank you very much from Argentina!
hahaha! I feel powerful :D Glad it was useful and enjoy your Launchkey mini!
THIS IS AMAZINGLY SIMPLE NOW THANK YOU
Magic video for older person first time user ! Much appreciated... have been using it for a week or more with Ableton and had no idea what or how most of the functions worked ....
Glad you found it useful 😃
Most informative video, I've seen on the Launchkey Mini Mk3, best thing I learned was how to turn the arpeggiator off with a quick press.
Really glad you found it helpful! :)
Fantastic tutorial - best I've seen yet!
You seem to have hit a nail on the head with this video, my thoughts echo what everyone else is saying, so thanks!
Thanks a bunch ☺️
Super helpful, exactly what someone needs to know when they're starting out with the MK3., Thanks!
Glad you found it useful ☺️
Great video to reveal capabilities of MK3. Thanks.
You can also control ARP's variables with pods, simply hold arp, and use the first five pods to change. Starts to feel like a synth :)
Cool! Thanks for that and glad to hear you find this helpful. :)
Thank you for this video! I just got this for my bf for Christmass and I'm defenitely going to send him this video when I give it to him. He plays the bass and he's been wanting to dive into composing music, so he has no experience with something like this. I hope he likes it!
This has been the most helpful video I can find for a bigginer in terms of not Ableton but the actual controller working with Ableton, thanks so much, appreciated.
Glad it was useful 😃
This midi is just magical. Also this video was super helpful for my Ableton start and the live functions. Thanks and keep up the good work 🎉
Thank you Noizy 🙏🏾😃
Thanks for guide, Xylo! This is just what I needed.... a guide covering the most basic functions. I just got my Launchkey Mini MK3 recently. I've been playing around with it in Ableton, but still had no idea how to use or access some of the features. Thanks again!
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful 😃
great job explaining that, thank you!
Thanks for this. I purchased one last week and this has saved me so much time. Much appreciated
Glad it helped :)
Thankyou for a clear and basic tutorial.
Perfect overview, saved me some time, thank you!
Very well explained! Thank you!
Thanks! Glad it helped! :)
You are a legend. I was struggling to find a quick overview of Launchkey 37 and you made my day. Thanks
So glad it's been useful!
I'm really grateful for this tutorial video! It really help me out with trying to understand how to use the launchkey. I'm still confuse about the arp though, might take a while for me to understand, but thank you!
Best tutorial ever, thanks a lot :D
Ditto re all the other comments. I have ordered this model and have been searching feverishly to find an introductory video like this. Thank you so much. Cheers Barry from Oz👍
Glad to hear it was helpful :) Have fun with your launchkey!
This was very very very helpful! Thanks so much
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Thanks. I probably need to watch this a dozen times
Thank You! In few minutes you explained the basic functions!Most useful!🙏
Glad it was useful! ☺️
Thank you, thank you, thank you 😊
No problem :D
I wish I knew what you were talking about girl😭😭😭 one day I'll understand. I was impulsive and just bought this stuff. one day!!😭
Thanks for this! Just got mine and did an unboxing video myself. Loving it so far!!!
Glad you found it useful! :D
The best mini mK3 tutorial. Thank You!
Thank you!! :)
Awesome! Learned a few things from this video that I hadn't seen in other videos up until now.
This has been one of the most helpful videos out there. Can you do a video on sampling and loops?
Great intro. I think this is the one I'm going to order. I originally was looking at the MiniLab MK2 because I have the full version of Analog Lab and Pigments. But this looks like it can be set up to control it too, and has a lot more for Ableton, which is more important once I get the audio sounds I want.
sounds like a plan :)
Ordered one yesterday, great vid👌
well done , really useful
Thanks! :)
Best guide, thank you❤
From all the reviews it seems amazing for ppl who primarily use Ableton, since the Launchkey is custom made for Ableton, but im curious how much is lost for ppl who use a different DAW, such as Tracktion.
Thanks a lot for this. The one challenge that I’m still facing with my MK3 is the latency. Can you give a tutorial on how to fix that?
Really needed this one with full explanation thank you!
Glad it was useful!
Thanks!
helps a lot, thank you! now i just gotta learn what all these ableton terms mean haha
Glad it helped! :)
Thanks for your sharing! I've been confused for a long time and your explaining and demonstration let me know the basic control well!
Great video
Cool. Thanks. I need to come back from time to time to this vid to catch up.
Thanks, this was amazingly helpful and taught me so much info so quickly!
Very good
Thank you!
thank you from Norway. This was just the right amount of info to start with
So glad you found it helpful! :D
Liina sent me here. More great content for me as I learn about music production. Subbed.

I friggin love you this was perfect thank you
Glad it was helpful :)
Thank you for sharing,, it helps!
Thank you very much
THANK YOU!!
You're welcome :)
Thank you! Very helpful. Is there a way to use the Launchkey to switch focus to different devices on the same track? I don't see it in the manual.
Hi! I really liked your video, and i want to buy this launchkey but its my first time buying something like this so ill need help! I have an acoustic guitar that has no plug in, so could i buy this launchkey and attach it to my laptop and record and loop my guitar live (through laptops mic)? Idk if it will work because as i said, i have nothing to attach my guitar to... thank you❤️
Hi, great video, I have connected my launchkey mini to Roland sh4d and I don’t know how to change the tempo of the synth, please help!
thank you, beautiful
Great video!
Thank you :D
I got one the other day. I originally bought it to use in Logic. It works well in logic but I did download the lite version of Ableton live 11. I can't figure it out. I've got to learn all the functions and buttons etc... I have no idea currently!
Thx! I have a question. I'm a new Lauchkey Mini MK3's user. When I press shift button, only 3 buttons light up: drum, custom and other custom. How can I fix that problem? How can I open the session mode?
Hi! Have you made sure your Ableton is up to date? Ableton sends the latest firmware to work with the MK3 so you need to make sure that's updated for it all to work properly :)
@@musicproductionforwomen I've check the updates out. I'm using Ableton Live Lite 10 and the program is up to date. I'm new user of Novation. Pls help me :((
splendid!!!
Thank you!! 😊
This is great!
I do have a question: how do i change the fixed chord once i made it?
Thank you!
Can u please Make a Video how to looping timing works...
Tnx
Ever since ive been doing a british accent in my house, all these videos been british
Thank u for this.❤ The problem I'm having with my new Launchkey is it works fine with any other instrument sound in my DAW (piano, guitar, etc.) But if I try to use any of the drums, it only plays 3 drum sounds on the first couple keys of the piano, but no other drums sounds will play, and none of the other keys make a sound. It's so frustrating 😫
Don't know of this is helpful or not but if you select the "drum mode" on the launchkey, the pads will turn blue, and they will trigger whatever drum kit you have selected in ableton. (Midi channel 10.) It is not possible to configure what pad plays wich drum, you will have to assign them in your DAW.
If you want to play drum sounds with the keys, maybe you need to go down or up an octave.
Nice vid thx! I think i want this one, can i map the pots for every effect change ??
So, there's play and record on the Launchkey Mini, and then there's the play and record in the Ableton Live. When do you use which?
The last 3 keys have a circle, a triangle, and a square label above it. What do those do? Couldn't find it in the manual
thanks for this, appreciate it, could you explain to me how i could make my pads not velocity sensitive, if that is a option. i would rather change velocity manually in ableton so i dont have to smack the pads to get max velocity while everyone is sleeping, its quite noisy. i would just like all pads to have a velocity of 100 no matter how hard the hit, is this possible? thanks
Se nota tu acento de Inglaterra. Seguro estás más fuerte que aliento de perro. (That means that I love you) Greetings from Argentina :)
How do I map the pads to different drum sounds from a drum library such as KONTAKT? Do you have a video for that?
im getting one today so i need to know how to use this
Feel free to ask if you have any questions :)
@@musicproductionforwomen Hello! i can't hear anything on my ableton software my midi is already connected too
I really need to know how to set up the buttons and be able to use the device
Hello friend ! I have Novation Launchkey 49 mk 3. DAW - Ableton. Such a problem, in midi arrange mode the keyboard plays only one track in the project. I switch to another track, it still plays the same track. tools do not switch. only one instrument plays in the project.;(((
none of this happens with my pad...
like at all... none of the colors are the same and half of them don't light up, nothing responds the same way.
I have no idea how you got any of this...
Heya! Are you sure yours is a MK3 and in working condition? If so it should basically be plug and use. Just make sure the settings in your DAW follow this: d2xhy469pqj8rc.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/novation/downloads/10606/launchkey-mk2-daw-setup-guide.pdf
My launchley only displays 2 orange pads when i hit shift. drums and custom. What do i do?
Have you got the latest version of Ableton? :)
@@musicproductionforwomen yes, even outside of Ableton my launchkey only shows the two pads when i hit shift. I also cannot shift my midi channels while inside Ableton. Do i need to setup custom settings?
HELP. session function and many other subfunctions are not working. any suggestion? I use Ableton 11 live lite and windows 10. I searched tones of websites, videos, and comments. but not a specific solution found
Nice video. Do you know how to use transpose button? I tried everything but nothing happens.
Can you use the Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 standalone without a computer? I know, it need to be usb powered, but I want to use it without Ableton. Does it has sounds in it already?
Very helpful thank you!
Glad you found it helpful!
The only thing I don't like is how loose and wobbly the top control pots are. They seem to work fine but they feel really cheap. I hope they don't break. Thanks for the video
Hmm a couple of people have mentioned this. They felt ok to me and to be honest I don't mind that it's not super solid because it means it's really light weight to carry about but yeh for some people it could be something to consider
I am having a problem with my launchkey,,i cant switch to session mode...if i press shift,session view pad is not lighting up..my novation is also not playing my ableton...its been 6 months,,its the first time i faced this problem...need help pls
Which is better as a beginner akai or launchkey????
They are quite similar but I'm a fan of the Launchkey :)
How do I turn it off with out unplugging the usb. Led pads stay on after shutting down my computer?
You can't do that, you need to unplug to turn it off :)
hi! I have a problem with mine, I have only two orange pads and one green, I tap shift but it doesn`t change the function like yours
