Launchpad switching from user 1 to user 2 stutter question?

Post by HeadrickProductions » Sun Mar 14, 2010 1:28 am

So it's pretty simple. I fianlly got around to playing with the launchpad cause I don't have the apc 40 with me

I've got the launchpad under user fx to be similar to the mononome visual metronome (that's what I call it...)
You know where you can see as the clips progress with thru follow mode (makes timing much more visual and idiot proof)


But as I switch from user fx and user 2 I always hear a quick clipping or stutter.
I switched usb cords as well as usb ports and have the same problem. (max CPU usage was around 15%)

I did not know if there was a difference between user 1 and user 2

I don't feel like setting up the template in user 2 at the moment and did not know if anyone had an issue or if I should just try user 2 late night or tommorrow afternoon

I have not VST in the setup, just two acapella chopped over 8 clips, and 1 beat duplicated over eight clips in follow as well (with beat repeat, gate effect mapped under user 2)

No max for live either :lol:



This is not be just bitching it is a real question cause I really like the launchpad and just want to fix this issue

I switched my setup into user 2 and still have a stutter. I am sure that all these pieces of hardware have limitations but I did not think that what i was doing was complex???

When I get home I'll try the same thing on the apc 40 and let folks no if I have clipping

very disappointed that the launchpad has limitations but it might just be mine

My system pops and clicks when I move the red session square around. It seems to go away after it gets warmed up - can't verify that yet.

It is a bummer.

I said in another thread my system is working like a charm.

Except for this problem.....

My guess is that it's a CPU problem. It's taking alot of power to do the secret handshake. I runmy buffer at 128 samples and I guess that if I increased that it would pop/click less. But I cannot afford to raise the latency, so I haven't experimented.
