Launchpad X - Get the Most Out of Live Loops

PLEASE, do a video on a real-time looping workflow. Like you might do with a guitar looping pedal, but using this and Logic and a mix of guitar and synth. Ableton excels at this, but I’m a Logic, not Ableton user. No one has done a video like this, and if anyone can, you can Chris. This was a fantastic video! I’ve been following controllers that might work with Logic so this is perfect!

I have a Launchpad Pro and have it attached to my Mac. I am using it a little less these days, as I’m going between my keyboard and Logic Remote on my iPad, but holding onto it in hopes of incorporating it into my workflow on a regular basis. Good video, this; thanks!

This is the BEST LaunchPad in Logic tutorial anywhere! Nicely done.

Awesome. Been waiting for an explanation like this for ages! Thanks!

Thank you for this video. I have been using GB and considering moving over to Logic Pro (bought it a few years back when a student) I've also been on the fence about adding more gear for various reasons. Was looking at the Launchpad Mini as an option yet can't find much in the way of other videos online about it and Logic. You made a great case for a use case for this tool. Now I have to wrestle with my brain and wallet!

I just replaced the keyboard controller with Launchpad- I'm creating ambient and experimental music, and this setup is so much more conducive to "getting lost" in my work. It's pretty too! Thank you for the informative video.

Capture midi memorizes what you play and will paste it after you stop playback (for editing ideas). It’s cool but if you already have stems you’ll be find without it. Keep doing a great job! I love these tutorials!

Have an akai apc 40 idling arround here and I am sure with little time I could recycle it for same kind of usage. Thanks for the video!

This is fun, just got the X! Gonna get my popcorn and enjoy this now👏🏻

Thank you for this very informative video! I would love to get my hands on a launchpad for live performance soon!

I'm waiting on the Launchpad Pro MKIII to arrive. combined withe the Korg nano control! amazing!

Yes please make a second one not concentrating only on Live Loops. 👌🏼🔥🚀

Thanks for this.. been following you for a while now

Thanks for this video! Always a pleasure to see them! That seams great but... Using 10.6, i really love to make projects to play live set for few hours, with a lot of "tracks" containing at least 10/12 elements each. Editing each cells with fade in and out, and knowing by writing in the name of the cell which one has fade in (adding a symbol "<" before the name) or fade out (">") for example, or which one do not loop ( symbol "/"). So an ipad, or a laptop allow me to SEE that!!! And ... I love to be able to select, let's say, 10 cells in the same time, "where ever" they may be in the project, some of them playing, and some not yet, and when i feel like, press "enter" to stop the active ones, and to launch those that where not playing yet. Makes sense? Or... to select (with "Shift") a few cells, and hit the "L" button on the keyboard to stop them looping. They would stop at the end of there length (if i see my "/" symbol on the name of the cell), or to go into a fade out (">" if i did the edit before). This allow me to let the function happen by itself, letting me time to do other things during this precious time! And for sure, a keyboard is ... a KEYBOARD! No way to play "music" with that for me! Same for Pan knobs, or faders for the volume... I would definitely go more for a good large screen tablet with the Logic Remote, and a small controller that i can assign freely for the few essential functions needed (like ... muting the beats group, or the melodic group in one go, or assigning the delay time, feedback and so on). Feels more homy to me. Sub menus are not really my cup of tea for live sets! This little gear is a nice step (not much innovation or creativity zo! Ableton push copy maybe?!...), but still more a gadget than a real surface that would integrate all! >>> Imagine ... a 16 faders midi controller with 3 or 5 knob each, with an integrated touch screen to launch the cells!!!! Paradise!!!!! Or ... better ... an M1X with .... a touch screen ... PLEASE!!! ;) Thanks again for that! Here is small part of a one and a half hour set done thanxxxx to this new ammmmmazing version of Logic Pro 10.6, on my macbook air, and an AKAI MPK mini controller...(this was the first time i played it live for a party few months ago, so it has evolve a lot since then... apologize for the roughness of it!) >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShgpZVIKrQI&list=PLOEOCddraSnozrsbnyoNMBQN7y3AQ4ack&index=2 Much thx for your dedication to Logic, we all learn from you!

About mapping Start-Stop; I did not map Capture MIDI because it actually does just that. But the Device/Tempo button seems to be the only button not used for Logic, at least the Device part. I did map it initially, but weird stuff happened resulting from it. I woudl press the button, but it woudl switch to Custom mode for some reason. What I did to work around it was to add the "Shift" button when I mapped the second time, so "Shift-Device" makes it so that it does not leave Session view, which was what happened the first time. In case anyone finds it useful, there you are. I found this part of the video useful, so thank you!

Make a blank column and click on that when you want to stop the sound. It'll do it in a more natural "quantized" way.

I've got one and it's good for live but at home, the good old midi keyboard and mouse pointer is just easier to use.

Super thanks - can you make a video on playing in scales and do melodic stuff ? I think thats were the Pad comes in value.

This is the video Novation or Apple should have done. Thank you it was very clear !

Would love to hear some info about mixing into mastering, does one want to have lufs at a lower level before a master bounce and then limiting compression and eq? Or does one try to get levels beforehand
