Launchpad connected (offline) while using the automap w live

Post by neurotesque » Mon Jan 04, 2010 8:43 am

Whenever i try to use automap with launchpad and live i get this message on the automap browser Launchpad connected (offline) while using the automap w live I am guessing I am doing something wrong in terms of teh MIDI set up. Any idea?

nope, it always says that, automap doesn't integrate with live very well. Just deleted automap myself

Try Down+User2 combination to enable automap with your launchpad :)

Doesn't work here. I've set the Automap settings to "focus device = Launchpad", but no automap functionality. I can't even show or hide the automap head up display.

automap + live = fail
I tried doing that Down +user 2 thing when someone suggested it to me, just bough up a 6 by 6 display that i couldn't assign to anything.

Lol!
Love it :-) I got a lot of time in on mortal kombat, and I've been looking for this shortcut for a while too! - so I'm gonna test this 'move' out tonight ;-) cheers guys!

(although I have little faith in Automap 3.4 - probably a bug that's stopping it from working for some people...)

and yes after my research today that many people do not like automap as well that folks in different chat rooms call it buggy

The latest version of Automap is 3.4.1 but Novation's website seems to have disappeared today :|

If you turn off the Launchpad as the control surface under midi settings (in Live, CMND ',') the Launchpad will then control Automap as it should. I think Automap sees live as a controller, and give it focus of the Launchpad. That's why you see connected (offline) when you start up.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, though it looks like the issue was solved. I'm really just curious how automap works with the Launchpad. Does it automap buttons to parameters in Live? Or...?
