The Launchpad Thread

[XORadmin]

Using the note mode on the launchpad is such a cool feature, and being able to swap between playing notes and controlling the patterns is great for performance.

I like to keep midi input enabled on a bunch of tracks then change the midi channel on the launchpad when in note mode, then I can jam along with any of the tracks (sounds) I like. When I want to record one I just enable record on the track I want. Easy!

I'd love to be able to trigger different samples on tracks 7&8. It would be cool if each row on the launchpad triggered a different sample slot and the buttons across played different pitches (or maybe volumes?).
It would need some kind of note map and I don't know what is planned for the midi side of sample tracks yet, so just an idea anyway.

A delete function (both for removing events AND patterns if that's still being considered) as well as delete during recording (table key) on the launchpad would be really useful.

Also a way to make new patterns on the launchpad would be great. Maybe just an OK shortcut might be useful in general.

I highly recommend using the launchpad as a dedicated controller, it was a great choice of device and already opens up the Nerdseq's functionality nicely. Thanks

Big wishlist (and with some stuff i am not sure if they are wished or if they describe current features).

Lets see:

Yes, sounds like something you can do already. Just change the Midi input to record and you are there i think.

The Midi part is already implemented, so you can play samples by pitch, change the sample with program change etc. It is not a Launchpad function but just regular Midi. I'm not sure yet how i want to make the Sample Track integration in the Launchpad. I will continue with it when i go on with the USB expander.

A delete function (both for removing events AND patterns if that's still being considered) as well as delete during recording (table key) on the launchpad would be really useful.

Also here, Note recording is not a Launchpad feature, but a Midi thing. It won't work anyway with Launchpad MK2 and Mini. And my plan is to support everything on these. Thats why the extra buttons on the LP Pro won't be supported.

Also a way to make new patterns on the launchpad would be great. Maybe just an OK shortcut might be useful in general.

I aim to keep the sequencer screen on the LP pure for performance (and i wouldn't even know which simple shortcut can be used) I think they are more important shortcuts which could be used. As for the pattern screens, yes, to edit here is of course cool and i will keep on working with that.
But it will make much more sense once the USB Expander is involved.
