Multiple Launchpads/APC40s Question: Lock the Banks/Pages?

Post by jbone1313 » Sun Dec 06, 2009 10:27 pm

Does anyone know if its possible to have the "box" for each Launchpad or APC40 sync with the others.

For example, if I move the page on one Launchpad, can the other's page follow automatically?

The usefulness of this is you'd be able to use two Launchpads--one for mixer; one for clips. And, you wouldn't have to worry about keeping the pages in sync.

Its neat that you can use two together already, but it would be nice to "lock" their boxes/banks/pages or whatever they are called.

I am hoping that the APC20 will be able to do this with the APC40 but we'll see. it would be a great feature.

Yes i would like to know this as well. Also if you have 6 launchpads do they all map there boxes automatically or do you have to manually move them so that they dont lie on top of each other ?

i have 2 and yes you have to move them manually to not be on top of each other. they both default on project load to the upper left corner of your grid.

Related question.. With the "blue hand" is it possible to select two separate tracks/devices for device control with two apc40s?

What happens if you save the song/set with them in the postion you want them to be in are they saved in that postion or do you keep having to manually postion the boxes every time you open the a set ?
