Novation Launchpad advanced configuration (cutting fx) – Part 4

This week I show you how I have setup my Launchpad fx section. To me cutting audio out can be just as expressive as adding more in, so I have put together a few tools for doing just that. There are many different ways to set this up, having just recorded this I can already see ways to improve it but it should at lease give you some ideas.

    Excellent tutorial. The possibilites are endless with such mappings. Can't wait to see more tutorials on the Launchpad.

    Liked your vids and you got me to reinstall automap. Is there a work around to fix midi feedback (for the lights). I'm using lights to see where I've used battery 3. It is very helpful in the dark as well as adding a visual component. I then jump into auto map and I get feedback. I'm sure there is a way to shift it to different channels.

    I have a few questions
    Also how do I add pages to a specific channel in automap.
    Are the other types of pages like FX, Inst, etc for other novation midi devices.

    Must day Great job on the production value of your videos. Nice touch!

    Would love to see more vids on the LP

    Thanks again for the info…

    Great videos. Would all of this work with a live input (vocal)?

  • Anonymous

    Sure will, this is just a control system so it can be applied to anything in live.

  • Spamandritz

    You just convinced me to buy a launchpad. These videos are amazing, I know I’m way late with this, but amazing job!!

  • Gianby

  • Anonymous

    A plugin called SupaTrigga, its a “auto glitch” plug I just turn the reverse probability up to 100% and everything else to 0. 

  • Cameron Bren

    Do you know how to make a simple fader/slider using one row of the launchpad in automap? I want to control a fader in another software and can’t seem to find away to do this.

  • RupertBrown

    I am only really experienced with using the LP in Live so I dont know the answer for sure, what program are you using?

  • Tomas

    how do i set an entire row to control the value of a knob on live? 
    thanks a lot, this videos are great!

  • RupertBrown

    When mapping hold down the far left pad then press the far right pad.
