Launchpad MK2 vs Launchpad Pro - Main Differences

[@anterdogan]

You seem humble. You're not like the other launchpad guys on youtube. I like you. I knew I like you when the video started :)

[@RickyTinez]

I knew I liked you from the beginning of this comment! Thanks man, I appreciate that

[@anterdogan]

Enrique Martinez 😃 ... Btw I am going for the mk 2 because I only need it for launching clips. For me launchpad pro is somethinh you'd use in a studio environment and I already have a Push so I guess having both would be pretty redundant AND poor use of money :)

[@RickyTinez]

Exactly if you got push you don't need the pro. But the regular LP would be a great assist, or a travel companion. Push can get a little heavy haha. For launching clips and start/stop recording onto clips that LP has got you covered

[@anterdogan]

Yeah, you're right man... Push is a real pain in the back (haha) and isn't meant for traveling at all. I had to learn it the hard way lol. Thank you again. Keep it up.

[@GB3770]

"not like the other launchpad guys on youtube" - WHAT ARE THEY SERIAL KILLERS? lol

[@drewbruggman]

Novation needs to pay you dude, this video sold the Launchpad Pro to me dude.

[@user-ub8vx8zd1d]

pretty sure he works for novation lmao

[@cwzialor]

Lmao😂

[@ankitrawat0108r]

Bro I don't have launchpad 😔😭

[@davedev87]

You are a TRUE gentleman and a scholar! The content was accurate, succinct and meaningful!Thank you Ricky for your soul

[@SweetScaleTV]

This was soooo useful! Thanks man! you explained in GREAT DETAIL much appreciated..... im going with the launch pad pro!

[@timespace8753]

This is such a clear and helpful video. Everything you said was on topic, to the point, thorough, and you covered all the important basics. You have teacher genetics in your blood. And you just convinced me to buy a Launchpad Pro. I hope they sponcer you for this. I just liked, subscribed, and shared.

[@LlewynDaviesTheThird]

Check out the thirty two sequencer available for launchpad pro. It is a great standalone sequence. 32 steps x 32 tracks

[@jthompson6812]

I just got a launchpad mini mk2 for Christmas and I love it!! But I’m still figuring it out and I can’t wait to use it!!!🎛🎚

[@lazastrob8991]

I just got mines recently for my bday!

[@David45G]

Oustanding video! Very helpful for a guy like me who just want to know what I should get to my 11 years old kid who want's to be a DJ!

[@RickyTinez]

Glad i could help David! I hope they enjoy the gift :)

[@lunchboxttv2441]

is the notes played on the launchpad pro the same as the notes played when laoding just a short sound on the mk2 i want to know cause i've got a mk2 and want to play melodies but i can't figure out what plays what

[@itsBoo]

Fact is price makes a huge difference so going for the mk2

[@DivianLP]

Yea but occasionally you can get a used launchpad pro for a lot cheaper I got a used pro for only $150

[@erikvanzanen]

This video helped me out. It's logical to me some find this vid a advertisement for the pro version, bc it is a much better device.:) The velocity and poly touch made me go for the pro

[@albertoguerra3715]

the other modes in launchpad pro are not really necesary if you have external midi keyboards like radeon 49 for example.

[@freddieboreham3499]

Btw I also rly like the vid it was rly informative and helped with my decision on which one to buy.

[@lynneb70]

Frederick Boreham which one did you buy???

[@deez6102]

Probably the launchpad pro right it's alot more you know... Advanced?

[@malachite535]

It depends what program are you using for producing. I use FL Studio and FL gives note mode drum mode etc for every launchpad. For example I use note mode on Launchpad Mini MKII

[@chrisliddiard725]

There are now 3rd party sequencers to add to the Pro, this plus its midi out makes it a 'must have'.

[@fruityloops9369]

I was just about to buy a Launchpad MK2 today; but what I really want and need is the functionality of the PRO. I'm very satisfied with your video. Thanks! ❤

[@RickyTinez]

glad i could help!

[@cloudrun654]

Can the Pro be used as a stand alone hardware sequencer?

[@rivaldoriyanto7072]

OK I DONT KNO HOW TO PLAY KEYS EITHER, only know drums. I MIGHT GET THIS. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO

[@eaman11]

There are also ordinary keyboards where you can set a scale and all the keys will stick to that scale (and mode, and transpose). Yet it's gonna take less time to actually play in C minor that learning those utility and switching all the time ;) Heck you can just place color tape on the keys.

[@buckyspesh6620]

I got a launchpad mini mk3 for Christmas, I'm really not to sure on it and I feel like I should send it back and get a normal mk2

[@jomesias]

Subbed and liked! Found you through your novation Launchkey demos!! 👍👍👍👏

[@bluename4]

when does it make sense to switch from rhe "launchpad Pro" to the new "launchpad X"?

[@egoravdeev670]

blue name it doesnt

[@YOUrDEAlerwiThHell]

what about the hackable mode :D? what can i detailed do with it?

[@Kxvidd]

But the question still is... Does it have a headphone jack?

[@joshandthejam7806]

Thanks, i'm new to ableton and found a used launchpad on the cheap. I think i'm going to snag it for sure and try it out.

[@ronaldlundbohm815]

Does the launchpad pro have a sequencer?

[@joeldelphin]

Hi Thx for this video.. Just to make it clear, the feature you described about chord choices in scale mode and coming back to note mode between 6:30 - 7:40 is also available on Launchpad basic version ? (As you said, very usefull when you're not used to play keyboard !) Regards ...

[@andriebayuajie6503]

Can we hit record button on launchpad the smaller from the controller itself without using mouse?

[@davidsteffens3952]

Say I wanted to get a launchpad pro (mkii?) could I effectively use the scale mode to select notes on the squarp pyramid for midi learn step sequencing? And could I run my keyboard into the launchpad midi in and go through the launchpad so they can both control the pyramid?

[@davidrobot7818]

This is great information/ thanks . Are you going to do any more videos about the Launchpad Pro?

[@MrAlloushi2010]

After 6 months of Heavy use on a MK2 make buttons are Heavy and difficult to press , so i decided to Get Pro

[@IneedmoresubsOnline]

Press it harder

[@jordanmoss4699]

super dope vid! you've convinced me to buy the pro it looks really cool

[@franschan]

Great video thanks!! I got the LaunchPad Pro

[@fuenstock]

Can the pro work as a usb midi interface? Meaning just as a midi thru from ableton to hardware via the pros trs midi out?

[@anthonybizier1053]

Id like to know... Is there any way to play whit the launchpad like,in a bus for example, and just put some kind of earphones to just listen to the musique or we realy need a computer to play the sounds coming out of it?..

[@RickyTinez]

Hey Anthony, Well you can use something like the Launchpad Mini to play sounds off your IOS device instead of a laptop.. but at the end of the day you'll technically always need something connected to your Launch Pad in order to hear sounds. No sounds can be stored on any of the launchpads.

[@asc114]

Mk2, Definitively

[@sandramyers6816]

Asc11 same

[@tuchan_]

EKHEM. you bought pro.

[@zizjzjjsjsj]

pro is best but the price😂

[@IneedmoresubsOnline]

@NicoNii You just brought pro, use MK2 again

[@Himanshu_01jly]

@@zizjzjjsjsj yea....the hidden truth🤣🤣😂😂

[@zacksideofficial7118]

MK 2

[@christoroppolo8742]

You should do a comparison to this vs an an iPad Pro for live. Peace Christo

[@wei-chinlin3591]

Thanks for your video! Helped a lot. I have a question If I just want to use Launchpad to trigger samples, loops, drums and play instruments with Ableton, is mk2 enough? Also, is mk2's pad need to be pressed down to trigger? Or is it the same with pro but without velocity sensening? Thanks :))

[@RickyTinez]

Hey Lin! The MK2 has more of a “button” rather than a pad. But it’s not bad, you can easily get used to it

[@brianstockdale7119]

Great information!

[@corchadorc]

Your intro is dope

[@prasadraz2124]

Dear Sir... I have launchpad pro i don't know how it's working and light effects

[@themichaelgruber]

Nice work man. I did an unboxing and review some time ago

[@ashleymoore634]

I just bought a LaunchPad Pro due to your excellent video. But I can't figure out how to turn on the Vegas mode you have going in the video. What's the secret???

[@RickyTinez]

So that happens when nothing is actually plugged into the launch pad pro. You can fake it by plugging something into the midi input or just plugging the launch pad bro into the wall. Essentially when your computer is asleep and not sending any signal but is sending it power

[@franschan]

Nice ✌🎆

[@TheJoyofFingerDrumming]

Very helpful video, thanks a lot.

[@jiannacoloma7897]

I have a question: Can i use the super pads lights app in the launchpad? (Please answer)

[@HypeLevels]

Yes

[@jiannacoloma7897]

@@HypeLevels ok thank you

[@chancantcommunicate]

So can you teach me how to connect the launchpad to my phone? Using unipad? I really need help rn bro. Pls help

[@saelfaer]

weird... "i love this device, I don't know how to play keyboard, but i can learn this, it's new, lightweight. And I love midi, can't go without it, I love my synthesizers" as a noob I smell a contradiction... I don't know how to play keyboard, but I love my synthezisers? so you do know how to play keys then?

[@chexblu]

Can i start making my own songs if i have no idea about playing instruments? I mean, is there a really big sound midi cloud available for non music players as me?

[@mahlilkhan]

Saber yes u can i have also a launchpad mk2

[@kaiserbach1231]

Saber always is better if your have musical theory but yes, you can. Not the better idea, haha but is never to late to learn

[@eltonharrell5059]

Can You Connect your Phone to The Launchpad Pro???

[@johnny_boii]

Elton Harrell yes you can with a camera adaptor on iOS or Android. I prefer android because it has unipad. On iOS it’s not that cool XD

[@Izac1]

How can i use the launchpad mk2 with logic pro x?☹️

[@DivianLP]

I have both but I still love da video

[@0_sakura_0]

Lets say I want to buy the normale (not pro) would you recomend cuz I want to get in to launchpad stuff

[@RickyTinez]

Yea if you want to get into lightshows or just basics in Ableton or other msuic making using a launchpad the MK2 (not pro) is a great place to start

[@marshalllee3827]

Which one do u guys prefer?mk2 mini?..mk2?...launchpad S?...or launchpad pro?

[@ReqeezRafiq]

If your not on a budget but the pro If you are on a budget/don't want to pay that much MK2 If you are on a tight budget buy the s If you are on a really really tight budget launchpad s

[@prometheus625]

So say I wanted to download someone’s project to play it myself. Does having a launchpad mk2 prevent me from being able to do that at times? Or is the pro just more compatible with other hardware?

[@RickyTinez]

Prometheus Gaming , Hey man! You should be able to play it with either one. Even the mk1 version!

[@prometheus625]

Thanks for the response, definitely helps noobs like me learn about this sort of tech that I am not yet familiar with :D

[@IneedmoresubsOnline]

Definitely using Launchpad MK2

[@avalancax3424]

I need more subs Online just bought it looks fun to learn got a macbook pro so wanna combine it

[@IneedmoresubsOnline]

Make a project of it

[@Redefined_Identity]

Plz can you tell me which i should buy?

[@RickyTinez]

Lorenzo, the LaunchPad Pro! but if that's a bit above your budget the Launchpad is a good choice too.

[@Redefined_Identity]

Enrique Martinez ok thanks i will buy the lauchapd pro and good video

[@kaiserbach1231]

Launchpad pro definitely. But the mk2 don't have scale mode?? How I can config???

[@RickyTinez]

Ableton has a great and really powerful Scale midi effect in their plug in section. Comes with almost all versions of it!

[@resofactor]

Got the LP-Pro about two years ago. Glad I went with that choice.

[@georgeyeor9579]

Hello, great comparison thanks! Does the Launchpad MK2 offers step sequencer with ableton live?

[@tobiashansen851]

I dont Get it, How many different pages are there, on the MK2?

[@RickyTinez]

You just have the user page 1 and 2 on the MK2

[@user-ho7ev7sk6e]

I want this video bro!

[@AlexandreSoma]

Thanks man! Really helped me. :D

[@user-be3bt5hx8z]

Guys, which is better?? Please answer me !

[@ixypsilon5851]

Sorry to expose you: but with launchpad95 the Launchpad Pro becomes useless. This is a big point and you pay attention on this.

[@jkl.guitar]

Thanks for this

[@Warroking]

Amazing review, thank you from my ❤️

[@ev_alex_]

i currently have a Launchpad pro and 2 mk2s

[@Delonelyman]

How MK2 is not hackeable? Mine it`s with a script. Now i can choose scale, root note, step sequencer and more!

[@RickyTinez]

That's awesome! i think by it not being hackable, is that Novation actually provides the script for the pro to make it way easier to "hack" but im sure there are scripts out there for the MK2

[@Delonelyman]

Arda Ertürk Just google "Launchpad95" and you will find it 👌🏻

[@Breakbeat90s]

yeah after installing launchpad 95 it felt almost like a push 2 just without a display :P

Hi, i Wana Learn this Pad is it Hard to learn it by myself? I Wanna get the Pro, Sounds more realistik and seems cool :)

[@mahlilkhan]

My launchpad mk2 doesent have that cable its different

[@RickyTinez]

Mahlil I lose and replace so many of my cables, haha. Luckily the USB cable doesn’t really matter. Whichever one comes with the box is probably “the best” one to use with your Launchpad. But 99% of the time shouldn’t affect how it works.

[@mahlilkhan]

Enrique Martinez thank you

[@vestedredsox]

Thanks for dumbing down the Information

Made everything your saying easy to understand

[@eaman11]

Beware folks: nowadays you can buy a used Push MK1 for the price of the Launchpad Pro

[@xwarriorx123]

Is it me or the buttons on the Launchpad Mk2 are easier to press? The Launchpad pro, I need to press harder to get the buttons to trigger

[@RickyTinez]

The launchpad MK2 are definitely more button like. The Pro has velocity sensitive pads and you can actually increase or decrease their sensitivity

[@inkajoo]

Mk2 is hackable.

[@mat1jaczyyy]

And Pro is even more hackable.
