How to Make Launchpad Light Effects in Ableton Lite

[@ceooftoxic6163]

Not the video we wanted But it’s the video we all needed...

[@rokkin3918]

Not gonna lie, these are some of the best tutorials I've ever seen. Seems you have a natural talent of getting your point across in a clear and direct manner. Got my MKII in the mail and your videos have already been a huge help. Thanks!

[@InspirAspir]

Cheers, thanks! Happy to hear I helped :D

[@WDZyro-kh1dh]

Amazing lights.

[@edwardshablinsky9252]

These 14 minutes were worth just a few new things for me!

[@mhmtse]

This video might be the best (if not only) beginner friendly video about light effects on youtube. I'm new to both ableton & launchpad but I can work with light effects just with this 14 mins + half an hour with some practice. And I also got some of the basics about the ableton interface. Great work dude.

[@ps7ykLiTT]

Just got the Launchpad X and seeing what even just the Lite version of Ableton can do is pretty wild. It really makes lightshow covers/videos make sense. Thanks for these tutorials man.

[@ZoeyZee]

Thanks bro you're a real one constantly helping me over the years. Nothing but love for you for real. Cannot express my gratitude enough.

[@robbie7150]

it was worth logging in just to say thank you for making this tutorial. For real this is the most helpful thing I've seen since last June in 2016 when I got my launchpad MK2. Very well explained and enough detail to understand without making it too technical and confusing. Thank You

[@davidtheboa1997]

This series helped me so much as a beginner who just started 3 days ago

[@etiennedaher]

Awesome, this is one of the best tutorials found online ...

[@runevh4821]

Hi inspiraspir I have a question. I have ableton 9 Lite but i have made a project but there are no so good light effects, can you make a video with the best light effects for in ableton 9 Lite. Its not a lightshow but a cover. Thanks

[@featahfeatah1723]

Best tutor on KZbin thank you so dam much man been trying to do this for 4 dam years I’m so happy for this videos

[@gwen2134]

this video helped me and was explained prefectly. I was able to follow along the whole video. Thank you!

[@lazerleague371]

You can do way more with Ableton lite. like wormholes, rainbows.... you just need 16 chains But it takes forever.... Never mind

[@philosofy469]

yeah it took me like 4 chains and 30 minutes to make just make half of the lightshow you see when you plug in the launchpad into the computer.

[@2tallcharles99]

The double click trick for selecting a single note on a chain is worth a sub alone 👌🏻

[@AmalSatheesh]

Wow! so cool man.! I was searching for this one lighting tutorial in Live Lite. Thanks a lot bro. Please do more advanced light show tutorial for Live Lite.

[@seekerscarlet-dark2254]

Hi, InspirAspir. I was watching Part 2 of your launchpad light show tutorial, and I want to know at 11:39 in that video, how do you do the thing that pressing the buttons on Launchpad and the buttons will light up and it will also show in the piano roll. When I press my buttons on my Launchpad it doesn't light up and nothing appears in the piano roll. I am using Launchpad MK2. Please reply since I really need help of this. Another note for my problem, I've open that blue headphone thing in the piano roll on. Use mouse to click on the piano keys and it does lights up on Launchpad for me, but doesn't when I press the buttons on launchpad.

[@therapososantos1]

same problem.. need helpppp!! @ InspirAspir

[@stijnotte7971]

Oh yes I need this lol hope u make more!!!

[@Illumanova8484]

Thank you so much!! This video came out at the perfect time because I just finished sampling my first launchpad cover and I’m now trying to make lights :D

[@donkeywithtopmum3648]

Congratulations for reaching 100k subscribers

[@hiyodogameing]

It surprises me you're still able to use the default effects. After I learned through max I totally forgot the others. Another great video as usual!

[@InspirAspir]

I also sometimes forget it's even an option. If it weren't for people requesting this video I would've forgotten it entirely myself :D

[@anthonymmeek]

Grant's music so good - careful with copyright

[@novasmiles95]

Thank you so much! This is by far the most helpful Video I have come across in 3 days!!!!

[@olivezz]

You helped me so much, three hours ago I didnt even know what is lightshow! Thank you!

[@matejmusic_424]

Thank you so much InspirAspir i wait for this video a long time thank you :) like

[@Tuna0nRyan]

Awesome video! But I cant seem to create a new chain without the previous MIDI effects carrying over to the new chain. Any tips?

[@questdzn9373]

did u ever get it to work?

[@shadowpulse4022]

that was really helpful actually I like how it just teached what each one does so u can use that and let ur imagination come up with some unique light effects.

[@DarioMiticocchio]

great tutorials: rich but not slow or boring. good job

[@ethancotton1549]

Love your videos! They are so simple, yet explain so much. They have helped me out with school projects and even just fun playing around with my launchpad pro! Thanks so much!

[@maple1140]

Thank you! I was looking everywhere for something like this :)

[@ariasstudios757]

I have personally learnt that just using midi notes it much easier and has less of a learning curve. I would recommend it for all beginners.

[@InspirAspir]

While I agree, that requires software that not everyone has access to. This method is available for everyone who gets the Launchpad, as opposed to purchasing the software needed for the easier method of making lights

[@ValentineFox547]

thank for the help it works finally

[@johannes1108]

Thank you. You made it easier for me to play launchpad because i haven't max for live 👍

[@anandahbp]

Thanks for wonderful tutorial

[@YeguesSchettini]

This video is a godsend! I watched your other fancy light effect tutorials (rainbow wave, etc) and have practiced making a few on my own. How do you map those MIDI clips to a button to trigger instead of pressing Play and having to create a whole track with it timed out and lined up?

[@B1SQ1T]

For those using the Mini MK2, it's kinda weird at least in my case, first you want the channel to be 1. as per the mini, but if you're not getting any light feedback, try pressing the button that's labelled 6. This worked for me for some reason, I'm not exactly sure why, I was using default ableton lite.

[@noah911pearlharbor]

Where is that button? IS it on the launchpad?

[@B1SQ1T]

@@noah911pearlharbor umm it’s been a long time since this comment but yeah I believe so

Hey Inspiraspir! I was just wondering if you could please make a tutorial on how to make a double launchpad cover, This would be extremely helpful! Infinite.

[@mehranabbasiofficial]

Perfect Tutorial.

[@schmidtzker7280]

NICE tutorial Bro 💪

[@FXWLL]

A great tut. I am building a new LP peformance after many moons 😂😂 finally. Even tho I dont use chain effects your vid reminded me of some the cool chain effects i used to use which I may include in my project 👍

[@the_darkgameryt]

thanks for making this vid its very helpful you just earned a new sub!

[@ryken4600]

Thank you so much! I've been trying to figure this out forever!!

[@AlanCrehan]

Can you do this with the push 1

Wow, lots of info, and clearly explained! Thanks a bunch!

[@eliyahukuperman9250]

Very helpful and understandable video. Keep up the good work!

[@SkarredKage]

IT IS MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@RebZOfficial]

This would have been useful for me when I first started but now I pretty much have mastered it

[@TheDiamondTardis]

Is there any way you could make a tutorial for the Novation Launchpad Mini Mk3? I have been trying to set this up for hours and cannot figure out how to get this launchpad to react with lights in ableton :(

[@oebeats3921]

Awesome video I actually learned something

[@RealNotASpy]

Always keeping it up with the helpful tutorials :)

[@seliom7266]

You made my day

[@Ventilope]

Hello is there another way to do light in Ableton lite? Some tutorials use midi clips? Can we use them in Lite ? Thank you

[@accountcreatoperidownload7321]

This is amazing thank you 🎉🎉

[@Lynixis]

Dude I’ve recorded my own chain light video lmao. I was gonna put it up tmr. Beat me to it P.S. I finished watching the vid. The arpeggiator trick at the end was what my vid was about lmao. That’s how a make most my lights in my videos. Different chains in a midi rack, with an arpeggiator in front of it. Obviously expanding on that more but that’s my main basic trick

[@Dwaiphic]

Loving the cheesy intro 😍😍😍

[@oCloudy]

Thank you so much... I watched your original light effect series to get started so in already knew a bit, because of you again lol. I learned about midi clips but i cant put them into a project with Max for Live. And i don't have about 700 dollars to put into amazing software. (at the moment *cough cough*) Thanks for "Inspiring" some new great project files!

[@anujmundari1302]

Tailgamer Studios you can also do it in lite version but it's way too hectic and tiresome.

[@memfai]

Love it

[@shiner_music]

hi man, really appreciate all the vids. for some reason when i go to user mode (after i link the controller and stuff) it doesn't make any light' it gets the signal but dont make light for some reason' would really like to get some help' thanks

[@LillianLockett]

really good tutorial, clear and informative, thank you!

[@williamist]

beautiful, now i want a launchpad lol

[@Modhumitamondal]

Nice one

[@lanphanh]

Could you please tell us how to color a button or a group of the buttons that I want to setup for the drum pads?

[@travis4266]

you are a godsend, thank you so much.

[@HypnotizingZeta]

YOU HELPED SO MUCH THANK YOU!!!

[@MissRockStar40]

Thanks so much for your video!!! It helped me out a lot 💯

[@Infin3onTunes]

Could you make a video showing how to do this in FL Studio? None of the other videos that I've watched were much help when it came to making light FX.

[@flight-or-flight]

You could also just select the monitor in of the midi channel instead of the record arm button, so you don't have to worry about your other tracks accidently not being armed for recording.

[@brodycollinsmusic]

Can you do the same thing with launchkey?

[@HAFGaming]

once i arm the two channels my mini starts blinking when i hit keys then setting to green or orange or red and im not even hittin them at the point im so confused wtf is going on

[@fghdfs42]

Amazing

[@saurabhmastoli]

thank you brother.its helpfull

[@nathanator1463]

this helped so much thank you

[@twistydub]

Amazing, so helpfull

[@youtuber9991]

What's the point of light effects? Is it just to make the pad "look cool"? Or are you able to chain audio together (for example holding one button enables a new series of lit/active buttons for new sound effects)?

[@calvinalfredo]

Can you make a video on how to make light effects using max for live please?

[@alainaerni]

Thats why I would buy a launchpad😂🇨🇭

[@jeta1music]

Thank you so much for listening to my idea please highlight this video my fav launchpad youtuber thank you soo soo much for listening to my idea!!! so happy :)

[@flight-or-flight]

Is there a way to map lights to a button on the launchpad while it is not working as a key but e.g. as an effects toggle? If I map the buttons in user mode 1 or 2 to something else than keys, the buttons won't be shown in the midi effects rack "keys", thus I can't send light Information there. Any ideas? Thanks for the video!

super cool Video i can now do very cool light effects

[@yahelcarmelly7261]

OK I did it all and it worked but how can i insert clips to it and make music?

[@Amsirahk]

For those who are having the issue of their piano roll not responding and their Launchpad not lighting up, you probably also have columns lit up red. Remember to put your Launchpad into User mode by pressing the corresponding button. On the MK2 you'll have a Session, User 1, User 2, and Mixer button at the top right. Right now you're almost definitely in Session mode. Simply press User 1 and follow the rest of the video as normal.

[@MrSevenEleven]

This doesn't make sense, it still doesn't work. Now it's just in my user mode and still not producing any lighting effects whatsoever. It just acts as it always does in user mode, which is just 8 vertical sliders side-by-side. Is there a certain custom mode I have to install to the user slot? I don't get this at all, I feel like he left out the steps of which custom mode to install to the Launchpad.

[@bartmuz]

why I don't see "output" on my midi tracks? - only "master", and some functions, but no "no output" like on your video 01:19 :-/ I'm using Ableton live 10

[@travis7050]

I’m 5 years late to this

I have a launchpad mini btw

this is v helpful thank u

[@marcmarroquin6853]

hey InspirAspir, is there a easier way to do this? I have ableton live 10 lite and I wanna know if there is a way to drag a midi clip to a drum rack that way I can just program the light show?

[@Fly_wav]

hi, im on the launchpad mini mk3 and i dont have light in user mode

[@dysgraphic1]

when i create a second light effect , the previous chords and MIDI drop-ins are still there, once more, any button i press just lights up with the first effect. could someone tell me how to fix it?

[@wolfgirlzeezee4577]

same thing is happening here

[@Deeknacks]

One Question I Have The MiDiPlus Smart Pad..... I Can't Seen To Figure Out How to Select It As The Output. And How Do I Get It Into The Touch Then I Lights Up Mode? Just Seeing if anyone knows.

[@aadisartbyaditi]

Hi INSPIR ASPIR, I tried setting up my launchpad pro as you mentioned in this video. But my launchpad keys lits different colors when I hit it. Yours lits the same color when you hit it initially. Can you please guide me through.

[@hydroteckmusic]

Good Video

[@kofloproductions4317]

thank u so much this helped me a lot with my launchpad :)

[@benjacobsonn]

Is there a way to keep a light on indefinitely until the pad is pressed again?

[@ticiamusic]

This isnt working on the launchkey mini, everything is still red buttons even when i changed the velocity and chords values.... :( the output is set to the mini, i dont get it

[@ticiamusic]

using ableton 10 suite

[@unkown7243]

Why it not works with me? I have Ableton 10 Live Lite and a Novation Launchpad MK3 Mini Does it affects with that?
