Is 8.0.8 or 8.0.9 the best to be used with Launchpad as a non M4L user?

they fixed some bugs related to automap in 8.1..
so I guess ..no..
although these versions are more stable (for me) than 8.1...

now you have a choice.. more stable+LP bug... or the other way around...

i'd say go 8.1 mate

So you need automap to control Ableton Live with Launchpad?
I thought problems with Launchpad were narrowed down to user modes only..

optionally...
the Launchpad doesn't store presets... so AutoMap is a very good way to build specialized presets..
(if only we could choose the LED colors through it would be nice.. right now it's default red for Midi and Amber for Keyboard shortcuts...)

I'm using it with 8.1 now and it works fine. But I had no problems with 8.0.9 either.
