LaunchPad Pro mk3 Standalone Sequencer EXPLAINED

[@BsYtHandle]

Just got one yesterday. So many YT videos that say a lot without saying anything. Very helpful, thanks for this.

[@suga4all]

Yes! Yes! Yes! That's so great for all the Circuit and Mono Station users that are already familiar with the super intuitive sequencer concept of Novation! The GAS is strong in me this year!

[@ToyKeeper]

One idea for what to do with this device: Configure the four tracks as bass, pad, arp, and lead. Configure 7 of the 8 patterns (and matching scenes) for the 7 main chords in a scale. Then play it like a NDLR, changing realtime between the 7 patterns, ideally while playing a melody on the lead track or on another device. This uses most of its sequencing capacity (4 tracks and 8 short patterns) and turns it into an easy accompaniment sequencer.

[@KCHamada]

WOW WOW WOW! I love my Circuit and this feels like such an incredible natural extension into my Ableton usage. This almost feels like Push playability but fewer layers and more straightforwardness. Cutting the fat pretty much. I can imagine they much slap this guy in a Circuit Pro. Thank you for the greatly explained and well-presented video, Bo!

[@velanche]

I'm sure this will be a video that goes well with the Novation in-depth video on the Sequencer. My Launchpad Pro has been gathering dust, but it's now one of the key pieces of gear in my production workflow. The more I explore it, the more I love it. The Sequencer's features sometimes were hard to wrap my head around, so this demo is something I'll be returning to so that I can get the hagn of them. Thanks for doing it!

@bobeats Why did you say that you wouldn't buy it just for a stand-alone sequencer? Im having a horrible time finding the right fully DAWless hardware sequencer (that's not $800 or $1000. This seems like a simple, high-capacity unit. Why not buy it to use with hardware only?

[@nicolasdenis7278]

Yes, same question here.. It seems really good actually. The circuit is known for its great sequencer, this launchpad pro mk3 is even better, so why not ? :)

[@nym053]

For me personally I think that it would be the perfect poly sequencer for my needs. I could see it being used successfully as a standalone sequencer. But I myself would also use it with Live :)

[@alifeinyellow]

@@Lo-fi_Hi-brow I’m definitely buying this as a dawless sequencer because it I’m not spending 800 on a Digitakt. I don’t understand why Bo mentioned he would not use it as a standalone when it’s clearly a great affordable choice to run a 4 synth set up.

I just ordered one yesterday to use with Logic X, but holy cow your demo of what it can do is ace. Looks way more featured than I bargained for. Could be fun; thanks!

[@BigDTexas]

I hear this referred to as an "external hardware sequencer", but I have yet to see anyone demonstrating the transmission of MIDI notes out of synthesizer (e.g. that Korg Minilogue in this video) into the LaunchPad Pro and then playing them back out of the LPP sequencer into the synthesizer. The LPP manual says just hit the Capture Midi button, but that does not seem to work. Why are there no demonstrations of this external sequencer's MOST ESSENTIAL function???

[@MariaCalore]

YES finally they made Circuit Midi!!! Lovely. And more polyphony. Neeeeeeed one! I miss my circuit!

[@steventaylor3789]

Great demo Bo. This seems like a very clever move on Novations part to pull in those of us familiar with their workflow but less sure about the Launchpad as an Ableton controller.

[@robtronik]

They took all the circuit sequencing functions and built into a stand alone HW sequencer, yeah? SMART move.

[@robtronik]

This is only 8 knobs and additional audio outs away from being a Circuit 2!!! (we can hope anyway).

[@brendonsmith8025]

they even added a "song mode" hope this is on circuit 2 also

[@brendonsmith8025]

@@toomuchjam ok cool ya I knew about this, but it looked like he was chaining sessions. either way cool launchpad lol

[@strangersun7721]

With the latest firmware, the Circuit's sequencer is lightyears beyond what Novation has offered since. It's a real bummer. Using the MonoStation or the newer SL Mk3 controllers feel like a huge step backward. We can't queue up patterns, only run one from the next in a chain. There are no micro-timings. The ability to carry over a tone from one pattern to the next is limited. If the Launchpad Pro Mk3 works like the MonoStation or SL Mk3 sequencer, then I'm not interested. The Circuit would still be far more advanced.

[@terrymacklin5935]

Only recently started using one with a hardware setup. Drum station, A Station, Super Bass Station and a Bass Station 2. The Launchpad Pro MK3 is the most underrated standalone sequencer of its time and I do feel it is lost on just being used by musicians as an Ableton controller. Novation have put a lot of work into creating a meaningful work flow for hardware sequencing. If you are looking for a live performance tool to be used with a hardware midi setup then check one out. With the right Midi to CV converter it would be a great addition for a live Modular performance 👍🏻 Tez

Wonder if there’s ANY chance to increase sequencer to eight tracks with a firmware update. Having little boxes like the Model:Cycles with advanced six track sequencer makes this seem a little basic by comparison. Agree re Circuit Mk2 with a small screen!

[@BoBeats]

push 2 has a ton more features and functions. I’d say that Launchpads are better for live performances and quick hands on control, whereas push 2 is much deeper and more flexible.

[@kerwinfernandes9583]

[@murisan3589]

The Print to clip feature is nice. My question is can it go the other way round, i.e. take ideas (midi tracks) from Ableton and put it in the Launchpad and go play live without the computer?

[@MrTravisDCook]

Watching now MK3 here e go!!!

[@HenningSprang]

Thanks Bo! Very helpful tutorial! I just want to contradict saying it can not be recommended as a sequencer alone - I have had lot of fun with it this Jamuary, and I dont have Ableton, I just controlled hardware synths with it. There might be better sequencers, but they also nearly all cost (much) more, so if you are ok with 4 tracks(e.g. 2 synthss and one drum), it's just fine for the price. Besides ableton it can also be used nicely with bitwig, as there is the drivenbymoss midi controller extension that makes it functioning very similar as in ableton (which is free and also supports many more controllers, including Maschine and Push).

[@Daphoid]

Launchpad Pro Mk3 + SL3 Mk III sounds like a fantastic way to control all of my hardware synths. Now I just need space.

[@brandonheat4982]

Now if they make the Ableton push 3 with all of these features plus physical midi on/out with the same screen layout... That'll be great

How do you instruct wether the launchpad sequencers controls ableton daw via usb or external gear via midi outs?

[@JakeSweeper]

Looks like this means the new full-size Launchkeys are right around the corner, if not already announced. And just bought a new Launchkey 49mk2 last year, too; should've been patient.

[@eduardorivera-garcia589]

Is there another DAW-less 4-track polyphonic real-time sequencer in this price range?? Still seems like a good hardware-only option....

[@Steven_Random_Suffix]

Zaquencer fits the requirements, or 2 second hand Circuits :P I'm considering getting one just for that standalone sequencer.

[@ontheroad579]

Indeed. I know I'm very late but Bo comment about this not being good as a standalone sequencer was strange. I don't think there are so many alternatives at this price. Beatstep Pro is cheaper, but it doesn't have the polyphonic capability. For a bit more money, you have the Toraiz Squid (totally different workflow) and the Keystep Pro (much bigger as it has an integrated keyboard).

[@jc3drums916]

Unfortunately, the lack of CV/gate outputs and arpeggiator means the SL MkIII is still the way to go for me. But that form factor, damn it's nice.

[@pk3776]

jC3drums lack of cv out put is a downer, however midi through on a KeyStep will give cv clock.... an arp would be ace, perhaps in a firmware update. I wonder if Novation are holding some features back for future updates.

[@LuchoDa]

The arpeggiator like on the SL MKIII is a must for this device!!!

Why can I only control sends for Send A in Ableton Live? When I make new sends on the computer the right column colours up accordingly but can’t seem to adjust Send B onwards.

[@janbartosek5354]

Nice video! It's a little pity that LPP MK3 cannot lit the buttons more as it does not have an optimal visibility for the video in this amount of light. Everything is nicely explained, thanks for that. Besides, what I was primarily looking everywhere over the internet and couldn't find the answer anywhere (even in this video) was how to record longer sequence then the 32 steps in the standalone mode at once. Actually, there are two options, that can be combined together as I found: 1) slow down the sequence pattern (to half speed or quarter speed - every time omit one button to the left controlling the pattern speed, it gets some triplet speed otherwise). You can now record two or four times long sequence but you lose note timing precision of course. 2) With empty sequencer, use "scenes" in a way, that you make a linear chain of individual patterns for the wanted track (up to all 8 per track). This works also for patterns being empty as you can now play them and watch them to change in the time! At this time you can save the project and have it as a starting point for this purpose. Now if you hit record button, it will keep the pattern flow defined within those "scenes" and you can fill them one by one with your performance :-). Hope this helps someone! I am considering making a special video showing off this feature, so let me know if it might be helpful having done this.

[@marcelcontrole2948]

Cool stuff! What happens if you print to clip a pattern with probability? Will it choose one version or will it print it without the probability settings?

I'm not sure if it already has this (or if would be possible with firmware change), but it would be great to be able to sequence chords played via the chord page 🙂

[@nym053]

Just realised now that I want this. 4 times I've owned a Push. Sold it everytime because I only used it for drum pads and sequencing. But for exactly those 2 things I really liked it. And the LPP3 has those 2 things at a more affordable price. So if I'm not really using the other features of Push 2, it makes more sense to get the Novation. I can use it without a computer. So I can also use it for playing in drums on Octatrack. AND it has 4 tracks of POLYPHONIC tracks. Only 32 steps. But with the pattern chain feature I actually prefer that over a 64 step sequencer on the LPP3 specifically, since that's how it's physically laid out. Srsly this controller/sequencer seems like a total gem for the money. One thing though, does the pads feel about as great as on a Push? Because I didn't like the small ones on the Launchkey mk2 series. They needed a lot of force. Edit: just figured out that octatrack doesn't recieve velocity information on audio tracks. Weird. But well, I'll just use chromatic on that unit then.

The last two give performance controls over the drums that are only menu based allowing things I cannot directly on the TR-08 or Beatsqueezer alone.

Also, i wonder if they'll hand down some of the features to the previous LP PRO. There been many cool custom firmwares that tried to implement something similar. So it's just a software thing really. The old hardware is still fine. I do like the modern look tho

This or Push 2 for recording (transport, clips, etc)?

Does anyone know if there is a stand alone Step/RealTime Sequencer that you can record vocals and guitars directly onto? Thanks.

For this to be a successful stand alone sequencer it needs a BPM indicator for clock out. Does it have a similar RGB one like the Circuit?

Late answer, but still. According to the manual (I don't have one), Shift + Device shows BPM (using the lighted buttons) and allows adjusting them.

Hello, could you tell me where you got the RHODES sound please? I wrote to novationmusic several times but we don't understand each other! The patches only accept the .sysex format and novation tells me that each machine has its own .sysex. I downloaded sounds on a site in .sysex but the circuit does not accept them. Can you tell me how to get HAMMOND / RHODES / CLAVINET / BASS ACOUSTIC sounds compatible with the circuit? Thank you for your attention.
