The Launchpad Thread

[erik404]

They are USB midi host adapters like the retrokits rk005. Or through a computer is also possible.
The easiest might still be the launchpad pro mk1 since it has the midi ports and is not expensive anymore.

I aim to have the USB midi expander ready in Q1 2021.

I see. I just reconfigured my midi setup. I have my KeyStep connected via USB to Ableton. I have a very simple USB - MIDI/IN MIDI/OUT interface. I can send MIDI via Ableton through the interface to the NerdSeq. The only downfall is that I need to have a MIDI track in Ableton, set the MIDI output to my USB MIDI interface and arm the channel for recording before the MIDI is actually sent over the interface. Which is cumbersome. I understand that a setup like this can work for the Launchpad Mk2 but will not be optimal at all.





Alright. Launchpad Pro Mk1 it is.  (Hello Marktplaats my old friend)


ps. about the USB midi expander can/will this replace the original MIDI expander if I connect all my MIDI gear to my laptop (via USB or a MIDI hub)?
