10:55 best quote "And I'm gonna add some reverb, until I'm happy."

[@danhernandez4867]

I would like to thank you guys at Novation for making there's videos. Very informational and helpful. Thanks!

[@ashkathemuhadifamily3981]

Finally finished the tutor from this channel and encouraged myself to post my first ever post in YT! Ableton in a Launchkey set-up for a New Order Re-arrangement song!

[@santoshpss]

I just got this from FedEx and I was confused about how to change tracks, I didn't even saw the arrows at the start of the keyboard! This video really solved my problem! Thank you Novation!

[@catkatarn1]

As a beginner I did learned from this video. On the other hand, although this person may be an great musician/engineer, he is NOT a teacher. He breezes through tasks which he obviously know like the back of his hand, but which take me going over an repeating 6 times to figure out what he was doing. In other cases he simply does things (zoom/scale the selection) but never mentions HOW he did it. And then, he take what feels like a full minute to describe how to download an attachment from email. Really? you could just tell me to download the attachment. I can figure that out. I would have preferred a few seconds more on a some of the Novation controls he found so natural.

[@NovationTV]

Thanks for your feedback, John. We're sorry to hear that you had problems following this. We created a selection of videos to help you get set up and create a basic beat using Ableton Live. If you would like to gain a better understanding of Ableton Live, check out the videos available on their website here: www.ableton.com/en/live/learn-live

[@catkatarn1]

Thanks for the link; I'll check it out. So far I"m loving my LunchKey 49 and software; it is incredibly capable, particularly for the price. It does have a steep learning curve, but I was expecting that.

[@everydayvacaytaj]

Agreed

[@noodlingaround2023]

Very professional. Clear, to the point and very well explained. Thank you.

[@ThunderCrushR]

very informative and appreciated since I'm new to all this. I will say when I loaded a drum kit I had no sound on the keys or pads after scratching my head reading the launchKey Manual and wondering what I was doing wrong two hours had passed, I then powered down my LaunchKey 25 and powered it back up. I then got drums sounds to come through. I will be going over this tutorial a couple more times to get all the features that were shown. Thank You!

[@adriaanlaurijsen4463]

great help for me. I'm a beginner and I got how you did all of this. I didn't know you could put in your own samples in to Ableton. My music got just a bit more exiting.... Thank you Novation TV

[@sharathkumar83]

I have a Launchkey 61, using Ableton live 9 lite, till the video 3 i have done all the installation and settings.....as you have show here when you control the INCONTROL buttons, it reflects on the ableton software, here nothing happens, why? Am using Windows 7.

[@streetsandlanes]

Did you manage to work this out?

[@stgfan1139]

OMG THE PRETTY COLORS AT 14:40 lol. I let out a gasp.

[@jayjay4437]

Hey, this was extremely helpful and i love my new Launchkey 25. Thank's Novation :p

[@JHB2010]

Jay Jay I'm thinking about getting the novAtion launchkey 25. How is it? I'm a beginner and want to start with that.

[@spencermiles5675]

I can't figure out how to hook up my launchkey 49 to Ableton Live lite. I work on a PC by the way.

[@giorgosmamalis9878]

That was great. Thank you.

@4:34 it's a two bar loop

[@dreamweaver1873]

hi, tried pressing and holding the top incontrol button for device control, but it doesn't do anything, ( no purple lights...dang !!!

[@timonrothenbuhler9422]

+RAVEN BLACK same problem

[@GogOtHeCaT15]

+RAVEN BLACK yup same here

[@BlackSgtPepper]

+gogo chi same here

[@skatealex1]

RAVEN BLACK Same for me but I went to preferences under Link Midi and turned on the Launchkey under Input and notice now it's working more with the keyboard settings.

[@gazcan1]

same

[@SahitiSeemakurti]

beautiful tutorial. I now know there is so much more I don't know. For, some reason, it was a bit hard for me to replicate the same things you are doing. I'm an absolute beginner btw. I still can't figure out how to loop.

[@nmare6220]

Is it possible to put single sounds on the different piano keys?

[@JustinLeonDev]

Yes, see how the Drum Rack in Ableton has notes on it, your Piano keys correspond to the note on the drum rack... so If you place a sample on the C1 container, your C1 note on you midi keyboard will play that sample as well as the drum pad that corresponds.

[@fortnitebros4263]

Nicolas yes

[@TheMonstermash1]

Also using sampler/simpler?

[@MrKevinAFernandez]

This made so much sense to me!!!

[@markallenmedia6070]

Glad I found this video. I assume it should be the V4 one on the Novation website instead of a repeat of video 3?

[@catastrofeedz6933]

HELP! I record using the pad. I play it back and I can hear it, however when I double click the clip to make changes there are no drawn in notes anywhere. Also, when I play the pads they are like EXTREMELY sensitive and I have to slam them to make it loud. Is this normal?

[@dajazman2k]

I have the same problem. Have you figured it out?

[@dopeloveers9102]

I have same problem... maybe we have bad copy ? Someone take Our money !?

[@djalbinos666]

I also have this problem, I can't play any complicated beats on the pads because i have to push them so hard to make any sound

[@djalbinos666]

do u all have 49 or 61? I have 49

[@dopeloveers9102]

61

[@matthewherro1075]

This was super helpful! Thanks!

[@airbrushernst]

Tnx man. Best video ! Great explanation. I'm going to buy a Launchkey mini.

[@NovationTV]

Cool! Glad you found this useful, Ernst 🙌

[@iamjonguy]

This is great! DO you have a video that does the same tutorial on the new Novation Launchkey? SL MKIII, Thanks

[@NovationTV]

Glad you enjoyed this! Looking for a video that demonstrates how to integrate SL MkIII with Ableton Live? We have one here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6O0kqh_h6eNic0

[@tyekeane]

My drum pads do not play anything when I press them.

[@NovationTV]

Have you ensured that Launchkey is correctly configured in Ableton Live's Link MIDI Preferences? As explained here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqKUpJWwmcemd6s Have you also ensure that your Drum Rack track is in focus and record-enabled?

[@markahearn1]

I am fairly new to this scene, the technology is not very intuitive to an old guy like me. Thanks so much for your help.

[@randomhobbies5796]

I have the same midi keyboard.. I never use all them settings.. It's easier with a mouse 🖱 most of the time

[@nonstopsoulbro6291]

You don’t explain enough!

[@NovationTV]

If you're having problems getting set up, you can contact our tech support team here for assistance: bit.ly/NovationCustomerSupport

[@RealChristianJames]

When I hold the top in control button nothing happens, no lights turn on.

[@benjaminhowey4763]

Really thanks. I now know how to make songs on Ableton. I do think he went a little fast though because I still don't know how to round the bpm of the song.

[@NovationTV]

Glad you found useful, apologies if it was a bit difficult to follow. What do you mean by, "round the bpm of the song"? Within Ableton Live, you can change the BPM by using the control in the top-left.

[@toreytherelaxedgod1777]

This video was very helpful !!!!!

[@marcuswilespage]

How does the single fader on the 25 key behave? Is it volume for the selected track or always master?

[@Robbinsffxi]

Is it possible in Live to sit back and listen to your finished song or do you actually have to switch scenes manually and perform the music?

[@NovationTV]

Sure, Ableton Live has both a traditional, Arrangement view and a clip-based Session View. You can hit record and capture your performance in the Arrangement View or compose the entire track using that view.

[@villepakarinen9941]

I cant get my pads working in drum rack. Damn this is hard for beginners.

[@villepakarinen9941]

Its working now! damn im good.

[@SentryCube]

How did you get it to work? I'm having the same issue ):

[@SentryCube]

Never mind, figured it out. Damn I'm also good! haha

[@joednhaulnst3076]

This guy makes music with every push of a button I cant get mine to make a sound! FML

[@Wouterferdinand]

Is it possible to use these beats for the actual making of a track? At this point I would really like to render a track, but I do not know how from this mode in launch

[@toniahall1825]

Amazing

[@jatinmathur247]

Is it only play via internet or just connect with laptop or play offline

[@NovationTV]

An internet connection is only required in order to register your Novation hardware and access and activate the bundled software, available in your Novation account. After that, you can work offline, without an internet connection.

[@lightworker7776]

Sounds like background music for a movie

[@mrtalimann8470]

Awesome, can I just use my Novation 49 keys as normal keyboard. can I make use those instrument / efx from Ableton live?

[@NovationTV]

Launchkey is a controller for Ableton Live and needs to be connected to your Mac or PC via USB to be used. It isn't possible to use Launchkey on it's own, it doesn't create any sounds and doesn't feature any internal storage or software.

[@smmusicplus96]

You can play it in portable live situations with a lap top and an audio interface. Just hook a cable up to the monitor system.

[@robertmetivier5641]

Thx for the help.

[@bidbiswas2605]

Hi Could you show us how to record sustain pedal using ableton live lite 9. I m using Novation Launchkey 61 with pedal and I am also using Modern Upright Addictive keys Plugins in Ableton. However while recording any midi clip using this all, I can only see Ableton record's only the key data, but the sustain from the pedal does not gets recorded. Any help or any video to show how to record sustain using novation with pedals along with ableton DAW will be a great help.

[@SebastianChill]

i have a problem, i have the launchkey 49 but when i try the turn on the clips the arragment thing .. turns in red and it doesnt sound i cant restore the clip .. unless i go a head highligth the arragment and click with the mouse and thats not the idea :S

[@zacdior9402]

Hang on sir. Would one be bias just using Ableton for this demonstration? I didn't like Ableton daw, I use ye good ole logic there pro x, and I don't see help for me here sir. Could ya swing it so you could do a logic pro x version? I need translation!! Peace ✌️ out people

[@NovationTV]

It's great to hear that you're interested in Launchkey, Zac! We don't mean to be biased. Launchkey was primarily designed as a controller for Ableton Live, communicating using a dedicated MIDI remote script within the software. Launchkey also comes bundled with Ableton Live 10 Lite. Many of Launchkey's features are designed for Ableton Live workflow; the pads allow for quick and intuitive launching of Clips and Scenes, but you can, of course, use Launchkey with other DAWs too. The workflow will differ but you can manually map parameters for custom control. We have a DAW setup guide here that explains how to get started: customer.novationmusic.com/sites/customer/files/novation/downloads/10606/launchkey-mk2-daw-setup-guide.pdf

[@nadimsilveira]

HELP pressed and hold the top inControl button, the purple pad never appeared, is that a function tha comes with mk2 model only?

[@NovationTV]

That's right, this function is specific to the Mk2 range. Launchkey Mk2 provides a greater degree of control over Ableton Live via inControl. Pressing and holding the top InControl pad on a Mk1 Launchkey wouldn't provide an additional menu. Launchkey Mk1 also doesn't feature RGB LEDs so you wouldn't see a purple coloured pad. Are you having problems controlling devices within Ableton Live using your Launchkey Mk1? If so, we'd like to help. Please contact our tech support team here to discuss this further: bit.ly/NovationSupport

[@michaelbeskales339]

Can I use the same steps with launch 49 mk1 ?

[@NovationTV]

+michael beskales Yup.

[@soportetecnicohigoversomas3451]

+Rawlzy Its the same

[@francescoc.4626]

no. mk1 doesn't have hold InControl to set sendA, sendB and so on...

[@BAlva8]

My in control parameters arent doing anything for the sends. I figured it was automatic and didnt have to map it on ableton. Can anyone explain?

[@dennisjohnminicz8036]

Can you store user presets on the pads for the rotary knobs? Like on the Novation Controller?

[@michal.ochedowski]

I would like to know if you can change the banks of parameters while controlling devices ? For instance, when you show that you control Reverb in 12:55, you do not mention how to switch to another 8 parameters of that Reverb. In Ableton's User Remote Scripts there is an option to choose (write into the txt document) which buttons change the banks of 8 parameters in any Device. Is it possible with Launchkey ?

[@Avengedsevenfoldxfan]

0:58 I thought he was calling for his kid

[@andrewportillo8387]

Can you make a beat with the pads using Impulse instead of Drumrack?

[@SiriusBlack-wh6uh]

can this replace an akai professional apc40 mkii for the most part ?

[@NovationTV]

Both provide tactile control over Ableton Live through the use of pads, rotaries and faders but Launchkey has the addition of keys for playing instruments and soft-synths.

[@GogOtHeCaT15]

You can't do the sends and pan control with the MK1 right ?

[@jacobredoble2592]

i still dont get it how they make the chorus . what if the transition changes? there is no explanation ive seen yet.

[@NovationTV]

Sorry to hear that you're having problems. Is your Launchkey correctly setup within Ableton Live's preferences? Details on how to do that can be found in the DAW setup guide here: customer.novationmusic.com/sites/customer/files/novation/downloads/10606/launchkey-mk2-daw-setup-guide.pdf If you need further assistance, please contact our tech support team here and they can help you get set up: bit.ly/NovationSupport

[@bradgee1436]

at 4:15 you press the top left incontrol button to start recording, but when i press mine it just Plays and doesnt Record? what am i doing wrong! Help would be greatly appreciated!!

[@NovationTV]

Sorry to hear that you're having problems, Brad. Have you ensured that your Launchkey is correctly configured within Ableton Live's Link MIDI tab? Open the ‘Live’ menu (Mac OS X) or the ‘Options’ menu (Windows), and select Preferences. Click on the ‘Link MIDI’ tab. In an empty row, choose ‘Launchkey MK2’ as the Control Surface. On Mac OS X, select ‘Launchkey MK2 (Launchkey InControl)’ for the input and output ports. On Windows, select ‘MIDIIN2 (Launchkey MIDI)’ as the input port and ‘MIDIOUT2 (Launchkey MIDI)’ as the output port.‘ Make sure that Track and Remote are enabled for both Launchkey input ports.

[@Jeffgreenbank]

This looks like its for mk2. Will this work with the original Launchkey?

[@NovationTV]

It may not work in exactly the same way as shown here, but yes, you should still be able to use the original Launchkey as a controller for Ableton. You're welcome to reach out with questions: bit.ly/NovationSupport

[@jiunnder1282]

Im still not sure what to buy, the Novation Impulse 61 or the Novation Launchkey 61? Please give me some advice !

[@andreiz82]

LaunchKey is lighter, less bulky and has better software. I'm waiting for my LaunchKey 49 mk2 after I sent back an Impulse 61. The Impulse arguably has a better keybed. I liked how the keys felt but did not like the aftertouch, which was so hard, I found it mostly useless. And I had problems with the AutoMap software.

[@melonine5115]

[@YoulMeuzside]

Hey, i have a question. when you disable InControl, do the pads have to become drums ? Or you can map them to whatever else ? like record, trigger and so on thanks for your answer

[@NovationTV]

The pads will natively control drums using the Ableton Live MIDI script, but you can use Ableton Live's MIDI learn function to assign custom controls for the pads per session.

[@jacobredoble2592]

@@NovationTV i still dont get it how they make the chorus . what if the transition changes? there is no explanation ive seen yet.. and how do you finish everything? in a complete song. i only see loops. how can you change the phase of the song.. its not complete really im looking for a complete tutorial. what i only see is how you put the melody, beat, etc in it.

[@Tmonsterism]

I have a Launchkey 25 which looks a little different than this one. The InControl button doesn't work for me at all. Keys and pads work. Does this have something to do with my Operating System? I'm on Mac OS 10.6.8

[@gamestvandmore]

Timi Boose are you using ableton live lite or other daw?

[@Tmonsterism]

I have Ableton 9 Full version. I am pretty sure it's because of my old ass operating system

[@gamestvandmore]

Timi Boose I have the launchkey 25 too, and at first the pads wouldn't activate any samples, i found out how to make it work tho, try going to preferences, midi, and make sure there is a "Yes" in front of every Launchkey 25, you are gonna see multiple tabs with that name, make sure all are activated

[@FraserHealVideo]

The InControl rotors won't work on the MK1 which you may have. If you have the MK2 then make sure you have the most recent firmware. It says you need at least the 140 version to work, but mine didn't work on 144 but now works on 145.

[@gazcan1]

I have a launchkey 61 MK1 and I can not get the purple pads to show up so I can set the parameters of each channel. Also, whenever I hit the 61st key(furthest to the right), ableton 9 lite creates a clip in channel 1. I didn't mess with ableton's key mappings... I think. The key mapping browser is blank, so I doubt I changed anything by accident. Anyone have any ideas? I've been searching for answers for a while.

[@NovationTV]

Sorry to hear that you've had problems. Have you set everything up within Ableton Live's Link MIDI settings as described in our video here? - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqKUpJWwmcemd6s

[@gustavocabral6936]

What is the real difference between this and Launchkey Launchkey MK2?

[@MrBeen992]

Gustavo Cabral that is the Launchkey MK2. If you mean whats the difference with the old Launchkey, then it would be you don't have control over Pan, Send A, Send B.

[@gustavocabral6936]

Charlie Angel Thank you, so I'll stick with my old version thereof.

[@MrBeen992]

Gustavo Cabral Me too but I think it would be fairly easy for Novation to update the firmware of the original Launchkey to function as the MK2. But Im not sure that theyll bother.

[@gustavocabral6936]

Charlie Angel I also thought that, in just atulizar the firmware. But companies need to sell and want to profit. This is capitalism.

[@lakesidec4770]

hi i bought the launchkey 61 simply to use as a piano but all this seems more soundboard focused, help??!?!?!!?!?!?

[@vekze]

Nutti Launchkey is a midi device so it does not make sounds by itself, a computer is used to make and use the sounds whilst the launchkey triggers those sounds to play. if you're new try using novation bass station, go to the novation website to download it and make sure you have the booklet and box that came witn your launchkey

[@frijolex2509]

I know that this is one year later, but this is a terrible choice to learn the piano on. This is a midi device not an electric piano.

Hi! any help on the below issue will be a great help. I have brought Novation Lunchkey61 MK2 almost a year ago, it was working completely fine, but recently I m facing issue with Ableton. The last key i.e 61st key in launchkey is not working with Ableton, Don't know why. However, when I use this keyboard with other music software like synthesia, other than ableton it works completely fine. That means keyboard is completely fine. Have some issue with Ableton. Any help on this please. I m getting frustrated, no other info available online.

[@NovationTV]

We're very sorry to hear that you're having this issue. Is this problem specific to just one Ableton Live Project? Is your Launchkey setup correctly within Ableton Live's Link MIDI/MIDI Sync preferences? - explained here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqKUpJWwmcemd6s

[@bidbiswas2605]

No its for all the time. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Ableton 3 times but still this problem persist, and why Ableton is not auto detecting Novation Launchkey I have no idea on that also. Like in the above video for Midi/sync u have the option to select Novation Lunchey 25mini, but here we don't see this options, There are 3 rows get auto updated in Surface control: 1. I have launchkey, 2. Lunchkey mk2 3. Lunchkey Mk2 and in INPUT I have 1. LaunchkeyMidi 2. LaunchkeyMidi (P... something which I cant view) 3. LaunchkeyMidi (P... something which I cant view) OUTPUT: 1. LaunchkeyMidi 2. LaunchkeyMidi (P... something which I cant view) 3. LaunchkeyMidi (P... something which I cant view) REALLY VERY ANNOYING WHY IT IS NOT GETTING AUTO DETECTED AND IS THERE ANY OPTION TO RESET THE WHOLE ABLETON, THAT IS THE ONLY OPTION I FEEL ITS LEFT, CZ I DID UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL LIVE 3 TIMES BUT EVERYTIME I DO REINSTALL IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.

Sorry to hear that you're having problems. Is everything correctly setup within Ableton Live's 'Link MIDI' tab? We have a video here that explains how to set this up: bit.ly/2B16LrZ
