ATOM 2 with the Launchpad Pro MK3

[@victorporof]

What an incredibly well produced video. Thank you Florian!

[@jeffreydavis6177]

Great video. I’m looking forward to more of these ATOM 2 and Launchpad vids. Thanks!

[@jamesrabbott5613]

Nicely done! That was a great explanation and good editing with the inset to see the Atom 2.

[@rrrobart9]

This was great! I’m so happy about this. It’s so simple ! Thanks for the awesome tutorial.

[@benjaminwolford3809]

Perfect video!! Helped me so much I have watched it over a few times bc I am just getting started but I have an iPad and launchpad x!

[@tateforgey]

Awesome video! I learned a lot. Now that Loopy Pro has come out I would love to see a tutorial and how to mimic the Print to Clip functionality in that app.

[@HanjoSynth]

Thanks for sharing Florian! I just upgraded my Atom piano roll to the 2 version! So many improvements!! I was so looking forward the midi export function! :D

[@tkelly19321]

Fantastic video Florian. I look forward to seeing all the cool things you will do with Atom2 and your Launchpad pro. Almost makes me want to trade in my Launchpad X.

[@1ezybeat894]

Why to trade? Doesn't Atom 2 support LPX?

[@tkelly19321]

@@1ezybeat894 Atom2 supports LPX but the LP Pro has extra buttons that can do things like ‘clear’, ‘duplicate’, ‘quantise on/off’ - these commands are not possible on LPX

[@1ezybeat894]

@@tkelly19321 got it. Is there somewhere a list of all differences of pro vs lpx with regard to atom 2?

[@tkelly19321]

@@1ezybeat894 Yes. It's in the Atom2 manual (pages 8-12) here: tinyurl.com/Atom2Man

Fantastic video. Thank you

[@PeteSasqwax]

Thank you for this, Florian! (also Novation says thanks for convincing me that I actually do need a Launchpad Pro... 😉)

[@FlorianRachor1]

It‘s a fantastic tool if you want to make music on the iPad, not just for Atom 2. It really works great with every app that I used so far.

[@PeteSasqwax]

@@FlorianRachor1 that's all the recommendation I need: next week one *shall* be mine!

[@SAMIZRAEL]

I guess it won't work with mkii mini...

[@FlorianRachor1]

@@SAMIZRAEL Wow, the man himself on my KZbin Channel :). Love your presets bro. Currently no, Victor only made controllers for the MK III series. The scripting is open, so anyone could make that in theory, based on the MK III version. Don’t know how different the control scheme for the MK II is.

[@SAMIZRAEL]

@@FlorianRachor1 thanks mate 😊 it's a great video Florian... I'm just so anti launchpads(🤭... forcing myself to overcome it) I love knobs and faders 🙃 But have mkii mini...I guess I'll look for a bigger mkiii for iOS use...

[@MeerkatMuzic]

Great video thanks for putting it out there.

[@FlorianRachor1]

Thank you! I do enjoy making those videos, though I have to admit it takes a lot longer then I expected :D. My respect for everyone who makes tutorials has grown a lot since I try to put out a video once a week.

[@clemenslangle880]

Okay die vorherige Frage hat sich mit diesem Video erledigt :-P

[@tommyk88888]

Can you transpose your sequence by keyboard playing?

[@ClemensLaengle]

Can you switch all to launchpad style by default? 5:r0

[@MiaNomoNomo]

Not sure if there's a problem with the latest firmware but my session in Pro Mk3 does not light up. My old Launchpad X works though. Any ideas?

[@KerryonBass]

Very informative video. Any idea if this works with Akai APC40MKII? Thank you!

[@FlorianRachor1]

Haven’t tested it, but so far I had very little problems with midi controller on the iPad, so I‘ll assume it will work.

[@codforlife]

hey dude youve got some air pressure on your microphone and some popping, thanks for the video :)

[@FlorianRachor1]

Yea I know, pretty new to this whole thing :D, still trying to figure this out. Also the iPad somehow drops out when I record the audio and screen at the same time. I think I have to record the audio separately.

[@Ericuf]

Wonderful thank you! I have a usb c hub connected to iPad and when I connect launchpad to it it gets power, but AUM doesn’t “see” it ... any thoughts on that?

[@FlorianRachor1]

Does it see the LP Pro when you directly connect it? I heard before that USB-C hubs can be hit or miss with Apple. I‘m having troubles with an external SSD that won‘t work in about 50% of the time.

[@Ericuf]

@@FlorianRachor1 I figured it out --- It was a *VERY* dumb mistake :) Thanks so much Florian!

[@eross21]

so can you launch similar to abelton and launch each row at a time by pressing scene button on the right of your launchpad?

[@victorporof]

Yup!

[@eross21]

@@victorporof awesome! I can’t wait for the launch key template! thanks

[@FlorianRachor1]

Yes you can, works great. This didn‘t come out properly in the video, I‘ll show that in the first update video that I make.

[@PaakoBravoo]

Hi Florian. What version iPadOS are you on? Do you get any errors when screen recording with EVO 4 connected?

[@FlorianRachor1]

I‘m on 14.4, usually it works fine, but I get occasional dropouts when I switch apps and the DSP shoots through the roof. Also as someone already mentioned some occasional pops, but I think this might be me being a complete noob when it comes to recording.

[@PaakoBravoo]

@@FlorianRachor1 I think the issue is with the EVO 4. it keeps disconnecting on the iPhone when i enable phantom power and on the ipad pro 2018 it crashes my screen recordings. so i’ve not been uploading videos lately. this is what happens when connected to the iPhone ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYLPZGuVpbepa6M ) i sent a report to Audient almost 3 weeks now and still no reply so i’m sending the unit back.

[@litvinovserge]

Florian, can U make some small video which describes ur SETUP and how do U connect Launchpad novation to ur ipad? Launchpad app literally saved my life. I`ve recently bought Novation Launchpad X. At first I thought it can be connected to iOS devices just with USB-C - Lightning cable, but unfortunately I was very WRONG =(

[@FlorianRachor1]

Sure I‘ll make a short video about that. The question came up quite often :)

[@philipm2100]

Hi serge, did you get this working? I have a launchpad pro mk3 and ipad air2, so do I just need lightning to USB adapter or anything else? Thanks

[@litvinovserge]

@@philipm2100 Hi! Yes, original (apple only!) adapter lightning to USB works perfect even with iphone. Ipad pro versions with USB-C connector (i have the latest one with M1 chip) , launchpad can be connected both by usb-c -> usb-c cable and by using any (non-original apple) usb-c adapters.

[@elasticlimit808]

So cool. Thanks for for this video! I wonder if this would work with an MK2 MINI?

[@FlorianRachor1]

Unfortunately only the MK3 series is supported now. It works with the Mini MK3 though.

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

So it’s not velocity sensitive? That’s the challenge in using pads. At that point I might as well be just drawing in notes.

[@victorporof]

The Launchpad Pro mk3 (featured in this video) and the Launchpad X are both velocity sensitive. Atom 2 properly records velocity.

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

My thing with Atom 2 is it is hit and miss on drum notes.

[@FlorianRachor1]

I‘m not quite sure what you mean? In regard to something like EG Pulse or Drumcomputer? What troubles do you have there?

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

@@FlorianRachor1 sometimes the atom 2 will not capture midi notes. Like it will completely miss the first note you record.

[@victorporof]

@@bjamminsincebirth3494 Are you sure you’re not playing that first note too early during preroll (count-in)? That’s the only way this could happen.
