Did you download the included copy of Ableton Live Lite? With a decent internet connection, it certainly shouldn't take that long.

You essentially have the ability to separate those parts of the controller and have them transmit their information on their own separate channels. This can be useful when working with hardware, such as sending specific information to a connected hardware synthesiser, or when creating a complex software setup where you want precise control over multiple instruments.

Thanks for your feedback on this. If you're looking for a controller that you can use with multiple DAWs, you may want to consider Launchkey [Mk3]. FLkey is designed for use with FL Studio only. No other DAW benefits from dedicated integration with FLkey so there aren't any videos demonstrating that but FLkey will be able to function as a standard MIDI controller that can be manually mapped for DAW control.

No, afraid there isn't currently a way of enabling that as default but there is a workaround. You could create an empty Project that features empty, 32 step long patterns for all tracks and then save that Project to every empty Project slot. This would effectively allow you to load this as standard but it does require a little prep.

@@NovationHelp thank you very much!

Sorry you're having problems with that. It's certainly possible to map hardware controls to Launch Control XL for live performance. Launch Control XL was originally conceived as a controller for Ableton Live so doesn't feature TRS or 5 Pin DIN MIDI connectivity but you can use a suitable converter, such as the Kenton MIDI USB Host to connect or a DAW like Ableton Live to route the MIDI from Launch Control X to your hardware. You can also create and use your own Templates for control. Perhaps it's best if you give us a call or use Live Chat so that we can explain how to set this up? - bit.ly/CallNovationSupport

@@NovationHelp I will give you guys a call thank you!

Have you created a Custom Mode using Components and saved it to your FLkey hardware, as shown here? Creating assignments within FL Studio using 'Link to Controller' will temporarily bind software parameters to the hardware control for that particular FL Studio project.

By the way the latest version is still 710 ???? This video from 2020 and u realease a update 5 months ago... but why is my impulse showing me 710 ????

That's right. The HUI Firmware update shown here was the most recent release so your hardware should display '710' as the main firmware version if you have updated successfully

@@NovationHelp Done ! Yeah i've got the 710. Thanks

Absolutely. We explain how to set it up manually here - support.novationmusic.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4906175480722-FLkey-Manual-FL-Studio-setup

Sorry to hear that. What kind of problems are you having? Perhaps it's best if you give us a call or use LiveChat to discuss this with us today - bit.ly/CallNovationSupport

Creating MIDI assignments using the MIDI Learn feature within Ableton Live will create assignments that are specific to that Ableton Live Set. If you would like these assignments to apply to all future Sets, you can create the assignments again and then use the File > 'Save Live Set as Default Live Set' option. This Set will then load each time to create a new Set. The Launchkey [Mk3] Record button will behave like a momentary control rather than a toggle, so will send a message when pressed down and another when released. This can be changed but it's probably best if you give us a call or use LiveChat so that we can assist you with that as it will require the use of a third-party application and a preset that we've made for the purpose of changing the Record button. You can access contact details here - bit.ly/CallNovationSupport

Afraid we don't fully understand. How are you hoping to use FLkey? If you would like the pads to function like laptop keyboard keys, you can create a Custom Mode, assigning keys of your choice to the pads using the 'Keystroke' widget - components.novationmusic.com/flkey/custom-modes/new

@@NovationHelp You can play flkey with fixed scales. Then any key you press will sound a good note. how to set it on laptop alphabet keys :)

That's right, the Scale and Chord features shown here are built into our FLkey controllers. Afraid we're not aware of a way of achieving something similar using a QWERTY keyboard but the Image-Line Team might be able to assist you with that.

Unlike Launchpad Pro [Mk3], Launchpad X doesn't have a dedicated Quantise control but you could use the Custom Keystroke Widget in Components to assign the keyboard shortcut (CMD+U on a Mac or CTRL+U on a PC) to a pad of your choice.

Absolutely. Launchkey [MK2] has been supported since FL Studio version 12.2. Setup is similar to the process shown here. We explain in detail in this article - support.novationmusic.com/hc/en-gb/articles/206861879-Novation-Launchkey-support-in-FL-Studio

Does this happen with all plug-in instruments or only some? Are you using wireless headphones? Due to their connectivity method, they can introduce noticeable latency.

Sorry you're having problems updating. Are you connecting your FLkey directly to a Mac or Windows PC via USB using the cable provided? Are you using a web browser that supports web MIDI to access Components, such as Google Chrome? Have you tried the standalone Components app? Available from the menu at the top-right in Components

@@NovationHelp my bad I was a idiot it was half way plugged in but I thought it was working cause the midi lights turned on

Glad you're sorted 👍

@@NovationHelp I'm having the same issue, where there are no available midi script updates but the channel rack still won't light up and is only seen as an unknown input in FL Studios.

Im having the same issue, did you manage to fix it?

@@noahryding FOr me shift and third buitton to the right at the top fixes it

@@odine1980 Which one?

Glad you found it useful! In addition to outputting note data, they keyboard keys also provide access to a variety of different functions. At that point in the video, we're using the keyboard keys to select these different functions, which are labelled above the keyboard keys. We're not creating any sound at that point. Apologies for any confusion that may have caused!

@@NovationHelp I didn't have a chance to update firmware yesterday. I will try that. If that doesn't work I might.

Nie do końca rozumiem. Czy używasz Launchpad Mini do tworzenia Lightshows. Jeśli tak, czy próbowałeś pracować w „Legacy Mode”? components.novationmusic.com/launchpad-mini-mk3/updates John // Novation UK 🇬🇧

Which plug-in are you working with? The functionality of the Modulation control and the specific parameter(s) that it controls will vary but you should find that you can map the Modulation control to parameters in FL Studio.

I did it thank you

Have you installed the Logic Script as shown at the start of the video? Is your Launchkey connected directly to your computer via USB and not via a hub of any kind?

Circuit devices do not feature an input for an expression pedal. However, if you have a pedal that outputs MIDI data or an expression pedal that transmits for an external MIDI device, you can assign MIDI controls for Circuit Tracks, using the information in the programmer's reference guide which I've linked below. Please let us know if this makes sense or if we can answer additional questions. fael-downloads-prod.focusrite.com/customer/prod/downloads/circuit_tracks_programmer_s_reference_guide_v3.pdf

We're sorry to hear you are having trouble with FLKey. If your device hasn't fully integrated automatically with FLStudio, it may help to do a manual setup. Info on how to do so can be found here: support.novationmusic.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4906175480722-FLkey-Manual-FL-Studio-setup However, if you try these steps and still experience issues, our support team would be happy to help you further at the link below: bit.ly/NovationSupport

Are you sending MIDI back to Launchpad Pro [Mk3]? If you would like to light the LEDs using MIDI from your DAW you will need to send Note On messages In Session Mode. You can find more information on this from page 8 of the Programmer’s reference manual - fael-downloads-prod.focusrite.com/customer/prod/s3fs-public/downloads/LPP3_prog_ref_guide_200415.pdf

@@NovationHelp and where can I find midi back from Logic Pro ?

If you would like to send MIDI from Logic Pro to Launchpad Pro [Mk3] you should find that you can create a MIDI track in Logic Pro that is set to send MIDI to the Launchpad Pro [Mk3] output port, labelled LPProMK3 MIDI (MIDI 1). If you have updated your Launchpad Pro [Mk3] to the latest firmware, you can also put it into 'Legacy Mode' by holding 'Setup' and pressing 'Mutation' which will put the pads in a blank layout ready to use with lightshows and applications of that nature.

@@NovationHelp Thank, I tried a lot of thing but it sames that it doesn't work as expected. Example : with Live if I record midi note and play, the pads react to the note played, It's what I would like to get with Logic Pro

Here we're demonstrating features that are part of the Launchkey hardware. The Scale and Chord features can be used with any DAW and also, standalone, with hardware. The Scale and Chord settings selected on the hardware won't be saved within an Ableton Live set or any other DAW.

We'd like to help you with that. What kind of problems are you having exactly?

Thanks for your feedback! Afraid we don't fully understand. What had you hoped to see? This video is hosted here on KZbin for use on our 'Easy Start' platform. If you haven't yet, we'd recommend that you check it out - id.focusritegroup.com/en/getstarted/begin/F3

Thanks for checking it out! FLkey is a controller for FL Studio on Mac and Windows PC. It doesn't benefit from any specific integration with FL Studio Mobile but would be expected to be able to transmit MIDI successfully for use in any compatible iOS apps.

Whilst Launchpad X can be selected as a MIDI Input/output device, as shown here, FL Studio doesn't natively feature a dedicated script but there is a Launchpad X script available from the Image-Line forum: forum.image-line.com/viewtopic.php?t=321464

@@NovationHelp so like I have to implant an add on into fl studio for it to work?

Not quite. As shown here, Launchpad X will function when used as a generic controller with FL Studio and it can also transmit MIDI for use in any DAW this way. Launchpad is a controller for Ableton Live and it comes bundled with Ableton Live Lite. We'd suggest that you try that if you want to fully utilise Launchpad X and all of its features. The Image-Line team don't appear to have added dedicated integration for Launchpad X to FL Studio, but they do provide a free script that will expand its functionality.
