Yes, exactly the same on my Push2. I hope these things can be fixed with a firmware update. The max volume when pushing on a pad you are already touching is very annoying because it causes occasional spikes in amplitude when you are trying to play softly and slowly. I read that Push1 had some extra ...

All colours are absolutely exact. No differences between pads whatsoever. Getting back to the dodgy driver behaviour; it is still taking 5mins or so of un/plugging USB and/or power to get it working. I've also had about a half-dozen freezes today - usually within the first 4 or 5 touches. Once it is...

I still can't figure out how to switch the flipping thing on with any consistency Did you try turning your PC off and then turning the plug off at the wall so all USB ports lose power? I read about it in another thread and was sceptical, but it has totally fixed it for me. It doesn't matter what or...

The sequencer is definitely one of those things that people either instantly get, or feels a bit weird at first. I was an elektron guy too and it was sort odd for me, but it's really nice having everything right there on one "screen" so to speak now that I'm used to it. Don't forget you c...

Update. I spent a couple of hours tonight playing the pads methodically. I have probably hit each Pad a couple of hundred times at least by now. I recorded my playing so that I could examine the note velocities in the clip. At the beginning of the exercise, there was a lot of variance and some note...

Hey Zach, All I can say is that I kept changing the USB port, changing the USB lead, turning the Push 2 on and off and starting/restarting Live and it suddenly worked. One thing you might try if you haven't already is to remove any other controllers from the list in Prefs. I noticed that Push 2 was ...

You need to fiddle around a bit with the Pad settings. It's not instant success but it actually is a very powerful setting system, and I'm pretty sure you'll find the right setting for you in a few days. Note what settings works best with which type of instruments (drums, keys, pads..). At some poi...

Background info: I've been using Live since version 3. I have used a dozen or so different controllers over the years and 20 or so keyboards. I did not buy the Push 1 because of negative reports regarding the quality of the pads. My main setup these days consists of Elektron Octatrack and Monomachi...

edit : done ! grab the updated version at the usual place ! http://motscousus.com/stuff/2011-07_Novation_Launchpad_Ableton_Live_Scripts/ 2012-01-03 - add: easier to configure metronome and note markers in step sequencer. add: adapted LaunchpadColour (Launchpad85Colour) to this script, for color bli...

i adapted the LaunchpadColor and put on my page ! have a look at the installation section there: http://motscousus.com/stuff/2011-07_Novation_Launchpad_Ableton_Live_Scripts/ Fantastic - grabbing it now! Although I am Red/Green colourblind, I have more trouble with telling the difference between Amb...

Yeah, I saw that, thanks though. I just can't seem to figure out what's going on my end. Like, I get the moving ticker, nahmean, though none of the notation responds on the grid, does that make any sense? If you highlight a midi-clip with notes in it, the notes should appear on the launchpad. If th...

Instructions are here, in case you haven't seen them: http://motscousus.com/stuff/2011-07_Novation_Launchpad_Ableton_Live_Scripts/ rr EDIT: +1 on integrating LaunchpadColor - I've fiddled with the py files in Launchpad85 to change some of the colours back to my preference - but it would be nice to h...

This is by far the best Launchpad tool I've used. A lot of thought has gone into the interface/useability and it shows. 'Precision mode' is a very clever way of getting around the 'stepped' parameter changes of the vanilla Launchpad script. Brilliant! Thankyou so much for creating this script and sh...

To answer your second request first, you can map the devices's on/off switch to the same macro or midi assignment as the gain control and then give it a range of 1 to max - this way when the macro knob reaches 0, the instrument will go off. If you need to use it on an audio channel, do the same thin...

The SHEPPI link I posted above is Haas related and it sounds pretty sweet for a free plug!
