Bought this one too yesterday. It's great. I wanted to do such things with my launchpad.

Looks absolutely great, but I'll be honest, I am wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too stupid to get even close to remembering all those functions from each mode unlabeled.

Ok, got a question, So I just bought the LPC this morning and am in heaven. The launchpad was fun before, but now the options have really opened up. Getting me totally off the keyboard/mouse and on my controller. I'm a fan, but.... have a few noobie questions. Can I grab tracks from my library and add them to a set on the fly. I see how to switch windows between my library and session view and I can navigate around, but how do i grab a track and paste it in a certain place. (info. All my tracks are groups of cut up tracks with follow actions. I save them as one item in a als file. So normally when i open them they open as a group of many tracks. Works great, but with LPC, when i push the enter key on one of these als files it opens a whole new project. Kind of kills a live set. OUch! Hope Im missing the obvious. Other question... is someone mentioned they use this with Aurex masher/sampledeck,, I have been recently messing around with these apps as well and was wondering how you combined the two. Ran them in default mode? Ok ok, i could ramble forever with all the questions that this new addition to my setup as risen? Thanks in advance

holy shit that chop stuff is nice!

wish i hadn't sold my launchpad but at least stuff like this is out there, and I'm hoping that stuff shows up elsewhere, (whatup hanz?)

Sweet. Love the Native Kontrol stuf! I got it for my APC 40. But now I want a Launchpad too..
Then again, iPad with controller software could be even sweeter...

I really enjoy this LPC Kontrol too ! And the guy give good support also. No over management forms !

BTW, I'm working on a tutorial to play with a 16 drumrack hit + having the choice of 128 samples on the fly for every "hit" instruments. All that, using half of my preset user2 and nothing else.

Works really good at this point !

Have ufn

This is the best Live-related bit of kit I have picked up since I got Live. The Launchpad was good before but now it's really fulfilling it's potential. Well done Native Kontrol!

Woaaah! That looks stellar! The only thing that's holding me back, is the same thing that's gotten to me in all the
tutorials I've seen from that guy: it just looks so daunting; I feel like I could never memorise what all the pads do.

Hey don't worry it's not that difficult, in a few weeks you know it inside out.
Every mode has certain led's lighting up so you have like a visual map of every mode in your mind.
You can remember every function quite easy.
And imo it's not that expensive so you can just try it out without loosing too much money.

Holy crap, the clip mode video gave me a proper geek tingle! Looks bloody amazing. Although I must say I agree that the general interface looks very complicated, if I invest I might make some overlays to print on to acetate or something so I can remember what the hell does what!

This is complexe but ain't complicated. There is so many options. You go baby steps. Nothing is easy before beeing hard. But I have to admit the video demo is not well sell. The guy could be way more cool. But sometimes the product beat the marketing.

This is amazing. Didn't the Launchpad's price drop recently?

It looks daunting to remember but I found that working with one mode at a time (like the clip mode for example) and only moving on when you're comfortable with that one mode means when you go back to it you remember it pretty easily. It did take me a while to remember where each mode was but it got pretty easy pretty quickly.

I'm definitely getting this! But we shouldn't be paying this guy for this - Novation should be paying him!
