hi everybody,

is it possible and does it make sense to use a launchpad with live 5? i haven't updated my live version so far...

No. You need the last version of Live 7 as a minimum requirement.

Live 1.5 and the launchpad works though

Haha does it really?

Launchpad works with every version of live...

Can't wait for the Tiger Woods promo with ableton.

you should probably upgrade, i went from 5 to 8 and its a big big step up, your missing out on a hell of a lot sticking with 5.

I confirm (because I've tried, on a iBook G4 / Mac OSX Tiger) : unfortunately the Launchpad doesn't work with Live 5.

You have to install at least the latest Live 7 version (7.0.18), previous Live 7 versions seem not to be "Launchpad compatible" (on an iBook G4)…

I agree with Slightlydelic : an upgrade from 5 to 8 should leave you hallucinated for a while (and make you straightly go deeper into your music)

Cheers!

PS : pretty funny that it works with 1.5 version

I got confused - it's the APC40 which needs Live 7.0.18 as a minimum requirement.

Apologies.

But ir will work as a MIDI controller at least?
