Novation LaunchKey Mini Mk3 - Live jam and demo

[@kode_kommando]

This is exactly what the world needs. Clear cut functionality, best demo possible, great aesthetics. No bullshit at all. Keep up the great work brother.

[@bobby88676]

Holy shit dude, this video was so amazingly helpful. Describing what you were doing/how the controller worked is something i have been wanting to see forever. Just ordered one of these, thank you!

[@Kimock7Autism]

thank you - finally a youtuber explaining things for the notice -

[@meYogii_]

Agree! First one I've seen explaining throught the jam how to do it, with simple text. Have had mine for many years but with no one to jam with I never learn to use it.

[@2ndAccident]

I love this setup. Waiting for ableton on ipads but never thought of windows tablet for such purposes.

[@leonilsson9310]

This is what a good midi controller demo looks like, great work

[@J-mar-1992]

Thank you so much for sharing your straight forward demo. Excellent work, I'm a visual learner and just acquired the same launchkey mini plus need to work on how to use it more but this helps a lot! 👍🏼 🎹 🎼

[@FranciscoGarcia-hi3zx]

Such a chill jam this controller is impressive!

[@RahulPable]

how to enable auto quantize?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

It’s a function in Ableton Live - “record quantisation” in the settings

[@dave_s_vids]

Really liked this tune, very chilled :D You've inspired me to dig my older Launchkey out for a play...

[@arizeishan2461]

Same here

[@arizeishan2461]

Instead it was launchpad

[@adrianrabbage4996]

Excellent little controller, and what a great tune too, you make it look so easy!

[@duarteestelita7257]

Adrian Rabbage in deed... hehe you make it looik easy..Robin. I’d probably record this one by one on acoustic instruments faster, than i would be able to, over the MIDI approach.. like u here.. but i’ll get there. And yes.. the touch panel on the surface makes it even smoother too. ;) . Also.i couldn’t agree more.. -> really great tune. i wish more ppl made beat based music like this.. All i find is boring EDM.. Thank you for this!

[@ARF_average]

Needs more *cowbell*

[@hairyrichardson8921]

Check out the new Arturia "Cowbell Collection" .... 6000 different samples of various cowbells :-)

[@M_Afiq.]

Finally.. Now i know how to use all the features. Thanks mate

[@dougsburner5897]

You’re insane. Do you have any other works like this. I could listen to this all day. Fees like this would slap driving along side the beach while the sun goes down. 10/10

[@axs203]

I do like the fact they put pitch and mod on it. So many mini keyboards don't have it anymore. That is a crime against keyboard controllers in my book!

[@JohnathanWhitehorn]

i don’t think i’ve seen a controller without one. which one are you referring to?

[@all.day.day-dreamer]

wow ..... very nice. Sounds amazing. Thank you. More please

[@dougsburner5897]

Awesome synth. Wow

[@Balthazar2242]

Good demo of the features.

[@KikiLem]

Amazing! Thank you for the beautiful performance. :D I have also just bought a LaunchKey mini mk3 and have a little problem - Does the pad have sensitivities? Because there is no pressure difference on my pads but I can see your hi-hat pad sounds it has!

[@MoltenMusicTech]

They are velocity sensitive - maybe check to see if it's disabled in the software app.

[@valentinamira9817]

This is beautiful and informative, thank you!

[@kevinbarbour9545]

Surface Pro 6 ... This is encouraging because I had basically given up trying to get Windows 10 to stop crashing Ableton 10 Live ..

[@jalanjalan7333]

thx so much for this video! other videos have so much talking, that you get through a lot before you reach any useful info, if at all. i have a question, how do you use the launchkey to move to the next scene in ableton? or is there no way? i would like to move up and down different scenes , to get to a specific slot.

[@MoltenMusicTech]

I believe you can, you navigate around in Session view and then hit the Launch Scene button. I don't have this keyboard wired up so i can't check, but there's stuff on it in the manual.

[@CubeRepublic]

You should work on a cruise liner as a mobile serenade artist with jazz finger capabilities

[@jb8875]

*Dope* Well Done for a live demo jam

[@fahimdawer]

Your videos are always meaningful/informative, bcz of you my computer speed increased......change my laptop settings to ultimate performance, as shown by you, and now its became a fast like leopard and processor speed stay at 3Ghz .....tnx dear

[@cuffia5189]

what program is this

[@zpablospb1]

Hi! Is that a tablet in front of the keyboard?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

It’s a Microsoft Surface Pro

[@zpablospb1]

Molten Music Technology thank you!

[@mikeGietExperience]

Cool! Looks handy for travelers, will be there more from you videos about this with additional comments?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Possibly 😀

[@michaelwerner126]

nice one. what tablet are you using?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Surface Pro 6

[@bogelmanDDD]

Очень интересно! А что это у вас слева? Аудиоинтерфейс (аудиокарта)?

[@robertsyrett1992]

Love it! So you were an expert finger-drummer and looping ninja the whole time!? Would love to see you mesh this with modular.

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Thanks! I wish it had a CV output.

[@ARF_average]

Try contacting look mum no computer for tips on how lol hes an actual circuit bending wizard

[@duarteestelita7257]

Molten Music Technology i’m actually considering the SL61 version, that, in deed, has CV I/O. thanks for the music. i dig it..and i also learned a lot. Do you know if this Novation would allow me to doing much more than an Akai APC 25 keys ? cheers from Portugal

[@MoltenMusicTech]

@@duarteestelita7257 I think they have similar Ableton Live functionality

[@duarteestelita7257]

@@MoltenMusicTech thanks ;)

[@pdmidipd_patch7476]

Are the pads descent for beatmaking ?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Pads - beat making? Not sure what you mean? Which pads? I'm using a pad from Ableton Live's wavetable synth.... not sure what you're asking, sorry.

[@pdmidipd_patch7476]

@@MoltenMusicTech I should be more specific ,sorry! I mean the 16 pads of the LaunchKey ... are they good for triggering drum samples? Sensitivity ? Soft or stiff ?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Oh, ha! Yes, right, of course that's what you meant, lol. Sorry! Yeah, felt good to me, a little small in comparison to a Maschine or something but the velocity response was really good and workable, so yeah, as good as if not better than most.

@@MoltenMusicTech hi are you able to get scratching using ableton live lite on your keyboard? and if so how do you get it or use it?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Don't know what you mean by "scratching"? You get a code for Ableton Lite when you register your keyboard

[@MichaelJ023]

Great chill tune! How did you configure the LaunchKey mini to auto Arm each track when moving between tracks? When I do the same maneuver as you, it only selects the new Track, but does not Arm it for recording.

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Not sure that I do. I change tracks and then hit the Record button to record.....

[@diegosk8ification]

how can u achieve the pads still shining after playing them? O:

[@JayPatel-xt6xt]

WHICH POSSIBILITIES CONNECT A NOVATION LAUNCHKEY MINI MK3 WITH ALL FUNCTIONS OR FEATURES RUN IN FL STUDIO?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

No, not really. Novation has just released some controllers for FL Studio - you should check those out.

[@JayPatel-xt6xt]

@@MoltenMusicTech ok ok thanks for ur suggestion !!!

[@boy6dragon7]

How to learn this and contact?

[@YourComputerExpert]

How do you undo with this setup?

[@satstube111]

Truly inspiring

[@princessaleenadiary7308]

What app did you use

[@MoltenMusicTech]

It’s Ableton Live (it’s not an iPad)

[@pesto12601]

But you dind't record most of the stuff with the arp etc.... so, it was done just real time and not recorded?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Not exactly sure what you mean? I recorded some clips of drums, synth and piano and then performed some arp sounds over the top - is that ok?

[@mitchbattles2139]

What DAW is that on your iPad?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

It's not an iPad it's a Surface Pro and it's Ableton Live

[@bobbo924B]

Molten Music Technology Thank you.

[@hamerray]

I just bought that keyboard today at guitar center and I’ll be getting it in 3 to 5 working days. But it doesn’t have a volume knob can you program one of those knobs for volume.

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Yes, you can map the knobs to whatever controls you like

[@deathsolve]

Does this get recorded as a short loop or a long clip with all the changes happening? Thanks

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Yes, it’s with Ableton Live where you create loops, so each part is an instrument in Live that I’m playing from the launch key which is then looped and then I can trigger the loops from the pads

[@Sn4p_Fps]

It have velocity keys ?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Yes

[@ezdubs8511]

Nice tune!

[@emixbase]

Dope man !🍻

[@ToscaWastyn]

Hi, I have a question. (I’m new at Ableton and I recently have a Novation Launchkey mini like yours in the video, so I still have to figure out how this all works...) I wanted to make a beat, so I pressed the record button on the launchkey. It did recorded it, but I can’t see it anywhere on my arrangement time selection and it just keeps playing. I don’t know how I can edit my beat it on Ableton.

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Well it must be there somewhere :D look in the Clips/Session view, not the arrangement - that's probably where you'll find it. The LaunchKey creates clips when you clip record, it doesn't enable recording in the arrangement (i think).

[@ToscaWastyn]

Molten Music Technology Oh okay, thank you very much!

[@samprock]

Hey Robin! I think only you can give an honest answer here. Will it be possible to run Surface Pro by a controller like MK3 or Push or anything WITHOUT an interface. Meaning will Windows on SP6/7 handle delivering pad/key press to Live without a lag? I am thinking of changing mobile platform from iPad to Surface IF it can deliver without extra wires/interface/charger on ago (not on a studio table, but train, backyard, etc). Also SP7 promising better performance. Do you think it can handle decent Ableton project with just SP and cans? What drivers would it use? Say I just freeze everything and have a single Arturia VST, couple EFX. Can it be done without lag, so can play MK3 or jus5 pc keyboard interactive? Very cool and easy going laydback tune, keep you interested too. Enjoying! TNX!

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Hello! I have lots and lots of videos on using ASIO4ALL drivers with the onboard sound and the performance you get in Ableton and other software - browse through the videos on my channel and you'll find them. Is it possible? YES! Is it awesome? Not exactly, kind of, depends on what you want and the software you're using. Ableton Live doesnt like modern Windows WSAPI drivers so you have to use ASIO4ALL - it can work - see my videos :)

[@JutassicPark]

You can open ableton on ipad? How is the latency and buffer size? Would be nice to know, Do I need to buy super good soundcard with that?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

No, it’s a Surface

[@alistairgreaves6343]

Nice vid! How do you sync the arp to Abletons tempo?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Some jiggery pokery in the midi setup window

[@2cee1021]

Really cool , hey what software are you using ?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Ableton live

[@bobbo924B]

Molten Music Technology on an ipad??

[@MoltenMusicTech]

It's not an iPad, it's a Surface Pro - it runs proper software :D

[@Pauluz_The_Web_Gnome]

You are a very good keyboards player!

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Thanks! That may be sarcasm but I'll take it :)

[@taaktuuq]

How to start recording into a new clip in the same instrument instead of overwriting it?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Er can’t remember - I think it’s a setting in Live

[@PLAYCOREE]

U could use an new track

[@tikufarkas]

Question? Are there any Project Files for the Launchkey, like on a Launchpad? thanks in advance =)

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Not sure what that means. Ableton has a script for the LaunchKey Mini if that's what you're after.

[@ZukunftBilden]

Is Novation launchkey mini mk3 or the akai mpk mini mk2 better - if you work with ableton live10? (why?) - because I already ordered the akai mkp mini mk2, but i can still cancel the order tonight and get the launchkey.

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Dunno - i've not used the Akai. Check out my review of the LaunchKey on SoundOnSound.com

[@Rox0rCreativeHelp]

Uh mind keeping me up To date bro ??

[@michaelroche3143]

I bought that and now I cannot connect to my interface motu 2, do u know which cable must I buy?!? in amazon are the chinese who send cables but never is a cable...if u get me a link I would appreciate a lot, I am from europe, thanks a lot

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Do you need 2 USB ports? In which case get a hub, any hub.

[@edmor7278]

Como hacer para grabar ??

[@ConeyIsland1952]

how can I transpose key novation launchkey mk3 25?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Press shift and the octave buttons

[@ConeyIsland1952]

I am trying with transpose lit,.. holding shift pushing +/- but it only changes the sounds not transpose what am I doing wrong? please help.. Please help

[@MoltenMusicTech]

You’ll have to check out the manual or at least explain what you’re trying to transpose and what do you mean by “sounds”?

[@ConeyIsland1952]

It changes sounds like pianos, guitars, etc, every time you push + - and hold shift..instead of transpoing keys..?

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Ok - i think i was looking at the Mk2 - there's no Transpose button on the Mk3 - what are you trying to transpose? Try going here, to the manual and searching for Transpose - fael-downloads-prod.focusrite.com/customer/prod/s3fs-public/downloads/Launchkey%20%5BMK3%5D%20-%20User%20Guide%20EN_0.pdf

Press F11 😎

[@mymockumentary9716]

would have been nice to hear you filter that not-303 sound, yea, I think as a jam it's nice, try not to what I do and get too indulgent on the keys (IMO) I think you would get more out of your not-acid baseline would have been more complimented by the change at 5:19... greats stuff cheers, hope I wasn't patronising too much x
