capture MIDI button is huge for me

[@WillHatton]

Honourable mention for sure! So handy!

[@frattuncbas]

Mini mk3 has this skill?

[@chenchaso39]

I’ve had this keyboard for a few months. I’m glad you made this video. Before purchasing I struggled finding videos for this specific keyboard. I kept deciding if I wanted the smaller one but I’m glad I kept this one. Thanks

[@WillHatton]

My pleasure, thank you!

[@SchmittycocoPop]

thx for informative! just starting the midi journey with the MK3

[@Nuggifresh]

I been saying this since it came out. Glad to see people catchin up to this beast

[@WillHatton]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@NomburgMusic]

Cannot wait for the "Dancey Hey Arnold" episode. Another great episode, I was able to learn stuff for my Keylab.

[@WillHatton]

😂😂😂 What an eye for detail you have!! Thanks for always supporting, Nom!

[@francisjohnluke]

just got an akai mpk mini 3 from my bro. ill deffo be checking out that strum function on the patreon thats a huge time saver!

[@judebogenschutz5936]

I love your voice it’s so soothing

[@nateonearth]

Awesome Video! Thanks! 🙏

[@fatfreefarmer4023]

Thank you so much for this, really illuminating and well explained. Can you do/have you done a video on the arp on this gadget? Cheers.

[@kemiche]

I use every function possible on this midicon to steer Logic Pro. It’s a great tool, although the pots sometimes tend to react slow (or not) while playing the keys.

[@flexlabz]

This is brilliant

[@christophjanko223]

Great Video! Finally can use it properly :) THX

[@WillHatton]

Happy music making!

[@christophjanko223]

Thanks, this makes things so much easier now! @@WillHatton

[@KristoferProphet]

Does it register in the DAW as a chord or just a singular note? Thanks.

[@perrythomasmusic3709]

Hey Will, I just wanted to say that compared to most other people giving pointers on the LKMK3, you do the best job. I am a guitarist, but I play keyboards to a degree, but they are necessary for recording. I bought a LK49 the other day and I am just getting familiar with it, but I am using it with StudioOne 5, so it's a little more trouble to setup and there are a few issues at times, especially if I use some of the voicings in the plugin, Presence. Volume on keyboards seems to be a problem, but this could be on the StudioOne side of things. I use some of the Addictive Keys and they sound great. Thanks for explaining some of the uses, pots, buttons, etc..............it will help a lot.

[@WillHatton]

My pleasure, thanks for the kind words and good luck!!!

[@username2516]

If i program a C chord on one of the pads ... then transpose -1 on the midi keyboard..... will the pad play a C or a B?

[@danielgharmann]

So, so good.

[@WillHatton]

I’m so pleased 🙌🏼

[@voreshbo7031]

Hi will! No ice tutorial! Skubbes 4 sho! Can tell me if i can use it for sequencing?

[@totttrax]

Good video will

[@TheUniversalLanguageAgency]

brooooo ! thanks

[@SKRDmusic]

Good vid, but is loading up the Chord midi device not allowing you to do the same?

[@jensx3634]

Is my favorite MIDI controller for Ableton , I have launchkey 37

[@ShilohKeeling]

This is NOT cheating! it’s a total game changer!! I already KNOW how to play piano I’m just tired of how long it takes to come up with a good chord progression 😂

[@anzatzi]

Will How are you saving chords in Ableton ( just the feature name-- I'll google the workflow) Great video.

[@AltaMihartescu]

Nice video! Do you know if the controller would send the chords (in chords mode) as chords to the DAW or as one note? I am curious about this because we actually press one key and hear multiple notes but I doubt that one key can send to the DAW all the notes that we hear...could you please clarify this for me? Thank you!

[@WillHatton]

It would record/show the whole chord (in the piano roll you would be able to see all the individual notes of that chord, not just the note you pressed on the Novation Keyboard!)

[@478Cubano]

hi I know is been a while since this video but cab you make a new one with more about things to do. this video is awesome btw

[@soundbankbeat]

Does this work only in Ableton?

[@J.O.K.E]

Is it compatible with GarageBand?

[@sh-kw2ox]

Why are you using scale in ableton . I thought if you set the scale on the midi controller you could the play your fixed chords on the keyboard and it would nudge notes yo fit the scale ?

[@arielcascallares]

Can you do the cords and arpeggio savings on the MK2? I don't think so, but I'm just asking. Thanks!

[@WillHatton]

I don’t thinkkkkk so either! Apologies

[@nictemple2502]

Any idea if this chord function would work connected to a hardware synth via midi without computer software involved?

[@artephax]

I have the same question. Also, can one save different “scenes” within the keyboard itself? (Custom chords for different songs)

[@MrBrandonLau]

The answer is yes all the chords are midi signals

[@NoLr4m]

nice man. I saw you upgraded to the bigger version. Did you want the faders or did you have the feeling that you need more keys? I thinking about buying the shortest version but I'm afraid that'll miss a few extra keys. But it would fit perect on my desk...

[@WillHatton]

I just like having the faders as I don’t use my Akai too often anymore! Otherwise I would just have the shorter one! If it fits on the desk, sounds like a winner!

[@NoLr4m]

@@WillHatton Alright, thanks! I gonna go with the shorter version and I finally have a wish for christmas 😀

[@kereamohau]

Yeah after my first Novation keyboard glitches out as well, I decided never to use Novation products again. Seeing you have problems with your first controller brought back flash backs made

[@johnnyway8667]

Is 25 key controller enough or would you recommend going for 37 or 49? I'm not a piano player and I'm looking for my first controller, but it would be nice to learn some basics of playing in the future.

[@WillHatton]

If it’s your first 25 is fine. I currently use the 49 but had 25 for 6+ years

[@rolfjohansen5376]

that app on your computer screen , was that a part of the launchkey app or something else?

[@DroppinEnglish]

that’s ableton - seperate DAW

[@michael.henery]

I’ve had this keyboard for a year and I had no idea 😫😫😫

[@WillHatton]

My mission is complete! 🙌🏼

[@badmilk1735]

Komplete kontrol is great for this and is a little easier to use than this. You can choose scale option and you can’t play a wrong note if you tried

[@WillHatton]

Good to know!! Thanks

[@AltaMihartescu]

could you route it to send the chords directly to the DAW or you are constrained to the MASCHINE software that comes with it? I am trying to figure what's best for me, M32 or this launch key..the 5 pin midi out seems to be a bonus..

[@badmilk1735]

@@AltaMihartescu it works as Komplete Kontrol as a plugin in any daw. I never use my maschine software anymore. Easy as using any pluign you can also use it to browse and load all native instruments and NKS. also if keys arent youre instrument look up scaler 2 plugin

[@natemoore6760]

Unless you want to edit chords - it only sends one note

[@BlankPosterMusic]

nice video but its super boomy.
