Multiple MIDI channels, Launchkey and an epic DAWless setup

Should have zoomed the launch key screen.

Looks like a really nice controller. Would be very handy in live situations. Also audiences seem to resonate better with keyboards than boxes with squares.

wow, I can hear the Rhythm. Mine is so quiet even with normalized samples or novation kits, direct out of the unit.

[@tomfoolery4077]

is there any actual logic to what chords are on the Chord Map Pads? Because I feel there are times where I am getting the same chord on 2 different pads, or there are chords from a scale that are missing, etc.

Hi, thank you for reaching out. The article below should offer some guidance on what chords can be played through Chord Map. Please let us know if this helps: support.novationmusic.com/hc/en-gb/articles/20346898821778-Launchkey-MK4-Chord-Map-Guide

@@NovationTV thanks for the link, doesn't really explain what chords are to be expected when adventure/explore are used, just has a grid with "bank" and "8 chords", but which 8 chords, and why is the real question.

​@@tomfoolery4077i think of it like this: it's kinda like they gave us 40 (5 adventures x 8 Explores) User Chord banks of 8 chords each. I didn't find the Chord Map all that useful, I'd rather have the option to manually add chords to it just like in user chord, then I'd have chord progressions of my liking and the orange pads would spice things up. NOVATION WRITE THIS DOWN!!

If this is a complete dawless controller, please show me a setup using 16 different channels and the use of their multi timbrality

[@paulonogueira7937]

Dawless SETUP. The Launchkey is not standalone, you need a synth/daw/something to provide sounds.
