Launchpad Pro : need confirmation on "faders"

Post by chapelier fou » Tue Nov 24, 2015 5:29 pm

From what i understand the pads are sensitive to velocity but not to pressure, right ?

The only way i could use a device like this for "faders" would be to hold the destination point and modulate the speed with pressure. Can you confirm this is not possible ?

Yes the initial velocity value is received but not the pressure through M4L, i'm guessing thats what you meant... Haven't got mine with me to test though...

Cheers

Hi Chapelier,

In fader mode, the Launchpad Pro pads only respond to velocity. You hit a pad to determine 'where' you want to set the fader and the velocity with which you hit it determines how fast it gets there.

Thanks,
