I tried to set up my luanchpad in user mode 1 for visual feed back like on the
video tutorial. I picked a drum kit for one midi track. then in a second midi
track i set the input for the drum kit. but when i try to rout that signal back to
the luanchpad, there is no "launchpad" available in the output drop down menu.

What am I missing here??
Thanks ableton users!

Maybe in prefs, enable launchpad as a midi track output.

Of course!

... and for the drum rack trick you should use user mode 1.

go to the routing section of the midi track and make sure your " MIDI TO LAUNCHPAD " is selected

this is where i'm having the problem. launchpad is not available in the drop down menu.
I do have the launchpad set up in the preferences menu.?? Is this maybe a limitation of
the launchpad ed. of live?
Thanks for the response everyone, but i'm still searching.

i'm using the launchpad version that came with the launch pad.
i also have an m-audio version that has a lot more features, but i
can't get the launchpad to work with that version.
