Launchpad Edition: I need more infos

[EmaDaCuz]

Hi guys.
I'm seriously thinking of buying a launchpad. I see that it comes with a bundled version of Live and I also know that there are some restrictions in track and scene numbers, drum rack editing and so on. Great. But I can't find any infos about the Library this version come along. Is it something very limited like in Live LE/Lite? Does it come with any further virtual instrument? Loops? Drum racks? Samples?
Thanks
Marco

I've seen it, that's the comparison chart. But what I'm asking (and I think it's not reported in the chart) is the quality/quantity of the Library which comes along with the Launchpad.
So, I make the question easier... Is it the same library as the one (very limited) coming with Live Lite/LE?

sorry, morning here...

nope, it has:
LOOPMASTERS SAMPLE PROMO
- DRUM N BASS-BREAKS-DUBSTEP (19 directories)
- FUNK-JAZZ-ROCK-PERCUSSION (10 directories)
- HIP HOP-RNB-DOWNBEAT (11 directories)
- HOUSE (20 directories)
- TRANCE TECHNO (8 directories)

the directories are loop libraries, many with names of famous producers and bands on them.

then a MIKE THE DRUMMER directory with more content.

it's different than what you get with Live, I haven't checked it out yet.

it can vary but suffice to say it's certainly worth it to register your launchpad version and upgrade from this. This is how I attained my licensed copy of Live....via the lite version that came w/my MPK 25

you will need to first register the software to your Live account. Once this is done you will be able to view upgrade pricing.

I'm getting a launchpad in a few days to a week from now. This thread is a little out of date, but the content is still pretty valid IMO. I'll post the upgrade price when it arrives.
