Launchpad S, Ableton MIDI Sync Preferences, Annoying Problem

Post by GuitarKidRox » Fri Sep 26, 2014 9:33 pm

When I plug my Launchpad S into my laptop and use Ableton Live 9 Lite, in the MIDI Sync Preferences it always shows up as 2- Launchpad S or Launchpad S #2 but never just Launchpad S. This is extremely annoying when opening a project file that involves the Launchpad S and having to check the MIDI Sync Preferences and adjust other things to make the Launchpad S work with the project file. :x Is there any way to set it so that the Launchpad S just shows up as Launchpad S in Ableton? :|

I had another Launchpad S before this one. The first one broke :( so we exchanged it for this one. If this is the problem would there be any way to reset a setting in Ableton or something similar etc. so that when plugged in it just shows as Launchpad S?

Thanks for any help you can offer in advance! :mrgreen:

Does it have to do with the usb port you use?

Yes, it will change name based on which USB port it is plugged into.
It says Launchpad S for one, 2- Launchpad S #2 for another, and 3- Launchpad S #3 for the last.
