Gosh use to bump this when I was 12...Hot summer, minecraft, biking with firends. That was life.

[@zombiedeath23]

AGHHH STOP. YOURE MAKING ME SAF

Same here too.

[@davinci752]

So nostalgic that hurts

[@NOVAsteamed]

It's funny because now my whole life is directed towards finding these same feelings. We're just circling around trying to come back to the way of life we already had

[@tom-aris]

Can we just appreciate how this midi controller changed lives of an entire generation? haha

[@badjujuinc]

memories. i almost cried after hearing this after so long

This gave me a brief moment of euphoria. Sent me back to the days I used to actually enjoy life.

[@esRaortiz]

“KillTheRobot” is such a unique name that it is hard to forget even after so many years. Always come back to this video once every few months.

[@hydralicninja56]

Oh my goodness. This video nearly brought tears to my eyes. I cant believe ive had my launchpad s for a year. And this was the first song I ever played on it. Thank you novation, for your amazing equipment and the memories you gave me.

[@lewisbeard87]

Few seconds in I started crying.. man this year has sucked, this takes me back to the best times

[@wallvid]

Still listenin

[@SCHANDELZ]

This song still brings me so much joy after all these years.and even more as a producer which this exact video inspired me to be. Love it

[@NovationTV]

That's great to hear! We're so pleased that you found this video so inspiring 🙌🙏

[@Kaotonix]

Absolutely phenomenal. Great job, very creative and thank you Ableton for showing us how he does it as well. Greatest company ever.

[@lorycacciator8777]

Passed 9 years and still feeling goosebump with this masterpiece

[@josephbcls9518]

This song always puts me in a good mood and gives me energy!! Wish there was a long version of this. I Would buy.

[@ValTek_Armory]

i like the fact that it is a more visual performance than on other launchpad videos

[@NovationTV]

Hi, Just select your clip and open Clip Overview. Click on the L to expose Launch settings and change Launch Mode from Trigger to Gate. Repeat for each clip you want to play in this way.

[@TheGuruMike]

Does no one appreciate this guys skills!? This takes incredible co-ordination to do! Well Done!

[@the80386]

AND STILL 80 Downvotes?! Wow! This is one of the nicest performance I've ever seen on a launchpad. Wish I could double thumb up the video!

[@scottslaughter7181]

It's only 1% of the votes that are downvotes. So 1% of the people are douche-canoes.

[@Dwayneff]

you should watch M4SONIC

[@psyedk]

solid demo! Great to see the performance side of electronica slowly but surely taking the spotlight

[@DrBuffaloBalls]

Disclaimer: Skill level required to play like this not included.

[@larsvankoningsveld6179]

Claimer: Practise makes perfect!

[@NerdNish]

You don't understand how addictive this is, I just can't stop listening.

[@MarcKehm]

and thats how the hype begun

[@samramirez7582]

I really like the melody in which this guy has made. And not only that but this song should downloaded onto the launchpad app so that others who want to learn that dont have a launchpad could play this song. Well done Novation.

[@supersamuri7]

Novation is love, Novation is life...

[@supersamuri7]

Lol yup (;

[@gabrielepagnini4048]

Awesome performance, and wonderful song! A bit reminds me an opening theme of a racing video game of the early '90s. Good memories...

[@deadnameisdead]

I feel so old now cause I watched this when I was 12 and after that video I was like MOM I WANT THIS LIGHT THING FOR CHRISTMAS

[@904MarkB]

xD you aint old

[@tom-aris]

I got that light thing for birthday, and got into producing. took me only 5 years to quit.

[@GreanAnimation]

@@tom-aris YOU QUIT ??!!?

[@GreanAnimation]

Did you get it

[@deadnameisdead]

@@GreanAnimation i bought a Launchpad Classic when i was 15 with the First money i earned through a Job

[@AntidoteAudio]

oh my goodness, 4 years ago, how time flies!!!!

[@danielakerman8241]

Jesus... I'd have to practice for months to play one of these things that well...

[@danielakerman8241]

Brodo Swaggins You're not looking closely enough. I'm not talking about simply laying down a groove and "making music." Look at the finger independence and precision this guy is demonstrating. That takes real skill and practice. You think you can do what this guy is doing? Put up a video and prove it. Because I'm pretty sure you can't get close

[@thibautkingofwar]

Daniel Akerman I have a launchpad and it's very hard ...

[@danielakerman8241]

Brodo Swaggins You wouldn't expect me to understand? And what exactly do you know of my musical background? Frankly, your comments make you look like a braggart and arrogant prat more than anything else. I'm a classically trained, professional musician myself. Your marks in theory are laudable, but playing this or any other instrument has next to nothing to do with theoretical knowledge and everything to do with motor skills, practice, and muscle memory. Your 4.0 in theory won't help you one bit to pick up a violin and play a Paganini Caprice. So, I think what this guy does in this video is quite amazing for the dexterity and ability that he shows. I'm virtually certain that despite your claims of how "easy" you find this to play, you could not get anywhere near this level of proficiency without quite a bit of dedicated practice. Of course the beauty of KZbin is that you could always show me just how easy it is for you.

[@TheDanielLivingston]

***** Yeah, Daniel Akerman I would be surprised if Brodo Swaggins has even touched an instrument in his life. Anyone with the name "Swaggins" is just swaggin' for attention.

[@danielakerman8241]

Brodo Swaggins Everything you say is ridiculous. Go away.

[@ninjaTy16]

Incredible timing and overall flow of the melody! You are seriously talented!!

[@datruph653]

Good shit...good times

[@DomGiunta]

This will never cease being amazing

[@audrickpierre1521]

i love launchpad

[@Enteves86]

I like the solo a lot! It's amazing what you can do with four chords.

[@ThegreatAntwan]

If only I could get the project file.

[@NovationTV]

[@ThegreatAntwan]

NovationTV Thanks, does anyonne know what happened to this guy? All his social media is dead.

[@akikazu6638]

NovationTV This project file is not the same of your ...

[@JunhyungChung]

well i did manage to create this song in 1 page with live ableton for free version. Although im not youtuber and dont know how to publish..

[@lews001]

Where did the tutorial/behind the scenes video of this go? I was just looking at it yesterday and it was fantastic, finally showed me how to use my launchpad the way I wanted to!

[@sebtheman1]

Getting this for Christmas and I'm hoping I'm as good as this :D

[@jonekorpi1711]

Well youre not xD

[@CommentCritic]

Umm.. Playing a launchpad and mastering a composition takes time, so you won't just start pressing random buttons and wish for a miracle.

[@jonekorpi1711]

Exactly, with Launchpad there is no logic what button makes what sound so even if you've played for let's say 5 years you still need to practise every single song seperately.

[@jedmanivx]

Yeah i just got one three days ago. It's not the launchpad that does any of it. It's the program and to master the program will take me al very long time. Even more so the launchpad itself...same time it will take me to learn a piano or keyboard. It's fun and gives you something to do tho :P

[@sebtheman1]

Yeah, It's So Cool... I already made a cover of Bangarang and I'm thinking of putting it on the internet

[@onlybobsaget]

that was the most neat launchpad setup i have ever seen

[@dannymiller1463]

How is the main synth pad taking a side chain signal from the drums? I really want to know how to do that, because it is great for Live performances.

[@alexisditullio]

Stunning performance and shooting!

[@dukeamarasena3395]

nice bro!

[@St4bilityMusic]

MIND BLOWING FACT: This guy is KillTheRobot.

[@namenamed9354]

i want one of these

[@mgzcom]

www.123dj.com/audio/mp3s/launchpad.html

[@AJKvideoproductions]

mgzcom He is using the Launchpad S not the normal Launchpad... This normal will do if you are not using lots of lights i think...

[@llgg6953]

Last Chamber :D

[@gekkegasten100]

i have one of these but is diecult

[@VlogsList]

***** How much is it?

[@actionturtle6974]

Still here too

[@RedRubix]

Be honest, this wasn't in your recommended, you searched for it!

[@KroWhite]

yes.

[@이현민-q1s]

최고다! 매 주 몇번 씩이나 이걸 보러 들어오는건지 모르겠네

[@astrale]

1 minute and 53 seconds felt like 5 minutes

[@eydaimon]

at first I thought this was a bad comment, but it's not. It's just ... true :P

[@dubstepguy78]

i wish it was 5 minutes, i like it!

[@pendragon6207]

Still kicking ass and taking names, 11 years later ^^

[@DanKe4]

Fucking AWSOME !!!

[@Spartan300MC]

I don't think you guys understand how amazing this beat is....strongly considering making this a hobby. thanks for the video!

[@sacado42]

witch button on the launchpad turned off the light at 0:30 ?

[@ThorsPanzer]

thirs wasn't a button, it was another person.

[@ThorsPanzer]

adonis97ks oh really?

[@cherryoxide4959]

That sounds like a neat Arduino/Lego NXT project, my friend. Wouldn't be too hard to map the midi channels.

[@SpeanterandKearla]

Another program. There co operates with midi controllers. Not very hard to set up, but it takes time.

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

the answer is in your question. A witch was flying around the room

[@FellowEarthOfficial1]

Its just sounds from the actual track linked into the launchpad, when you press the button it reacts by playing the sound linked to it. they are a little complicated for people who have never used them but if your used to them they are actually quite easy.

[@redo9722]

I've made a video of this song played a little bit faster. There is also the project file in the description if you are interested.

[@sylarlaw1110]

Thanks a lot~

[@andrewszczygiel3426]

Dude that is pretty dam cool that you can play this thing like a synth. Bad ass.

[@niky9965]

can this connect to your laptop too?

[@niky9965]

***** lol idk

[@SDPGamingTV]

Yeh it's a Middi controller it's meant to plug & play on your Laptop or pc! that's the fun with midi controllers XD

[@saint3211]

***** You don't have to be a dick about it....Niky9965 obviously saw it...Liked it but had no idea that it was a midi controller or what that meant...

[@GamingkingzOnYT]

Niky9965 ya as long as it has a usb port! :D

[@niky9965]

thank you @saint3211 and FreddyFazbear Entertainment Studios . I'm sorry, I just wanted to make sure.

[@NovationTV]

Yes the launchpad is compatible with logic 9 you can use it as a midi controller

[@nathanlaytart7117]

How the heck can he see in the dark?

[@mayasolorio9364]

He probably remembers where to hit the keys

[@S2awtys]

Or maybe he's wearing night vision goggles or have super power that u can see in the dark

[@mayasolorio9364]

Ya probably the second one...

[@timasgard4112]

I think he has practiced a lot and recognize the different buttons, and maybe it isn't that dark there so he can still see the buttons, and then done a dark effect in a editing program on PC/Mac/Linux, or the camera is a little weird, my camera is that too… It makes my video tapes look so dark.

[@MeeJaysNet]

I think he can see, because the extinct buttons, but the camera can't see them because the objective isn't enough sensitive. I have the same result when I made ​​a mashup (But I don't use the Launchpad like that)

[@mrkanzeon]

that's some sick hand coordonation

[@theniffex6454]

Who's from 2020?

[@FocusriteTV]

HI, Both Launchpads will have the same functionality, but there will be different functions within the software depending on the version of Ableton you have.

[@sontrinh9200]

seriously? turn off the light!!!!

[@KhakiPance]

someone obviously only watched the first 30 seconds of the video...

[@Kirsh1793]

They wanted to show that the LEDs of the Launchpad S are brighter. :)

[@mrxxbrian]

this is such an embarrassingly fail comment how could you not delete this lol

[@Ghn-di4hw]

Hey, who turned out the lights? (Doctor who reference)

[@khoaphan8490]

i wish youtube would let me flag comments for stupidity..

[@greglaw3693]

This is so awesome! Gotta give props to Novation to the fullest for this one!

[@ahdo2468]

The minute the lights went out...dreams poured through my headphones. This man is SandMan.

[@jonoc5]

This is the best promo video i've ever seen, i saw this a week ago and just ordered my launchpad. So damn cool.

[@xXGRXREDDEADXx]

That was so amazing. To the person who peformed, great job!:)

[@colourPRDKTNZ]

That lead synth sounds soooooooo nice

[@Makonomero]

we'll always wait for your new vids.

[@garyhunt22]

This guy needs more credit, this is very hard

[@noelscott3704]

I just love the fact that nobody else is as good as him at this song smooth and flows compared to other ppl choppy and messy

[@travisking275]

If it weren't for the song being so short, it would be a hit.

[@cerberusfly7472]

launchpad is looking awesome in the dark.

[@bananasfirework]

sick man, How long that take you to learn?

[@casecandy9257]

This is astonishing. I just found out these things are a mere $150. It's like the Danelectro guitar of the new millennium. Cheap and amazing.

[@drtyslzy]

Really impressed, haven't thought of using my Launchpad this way. Seems challenging..

[@ianisaac696]

THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL

[@ConstantThrowing]

Piano of the future.

[@MonkeyChurro]

I'm sorry, I ordered the last one in stock so they no longer have anymore, I'm honestly sorry about that. I hope you get one in the near future as they're really fun machines. :)

[@BrianAndersonTT]

amazing coordination! Must have took some time to get to that level

[@LIANG14]

You can make any light show you want on any launchpads. It's only MIDI routing.

[@fluffi28]

Lika a chill Madeon :) super good work man!

[@MonkeyChurro]

Haha, I'll make sure of that next time. I did look at the differences and realized that not much about it is different. I'm looking forward to using it :)

[@katannamon]

I really enjoyed this performance. Who was the artist?

[@DjBurba]

another thing is that the new one is much faster than the old one, you'll fell it only if you have something really fast to show on launchpad's buttons. For example if you map the launchpad on traktor pro, and you put some vu-meter on the buttons, when you press play on the older one you'll see lights responding later when you do an action, like you press play and the light turn on after some seconds. i think in the new one this is not impossible, but can support much more lights per second.

[@InferMator]

I'm devoting my life for MUSIC ♥♥ Thank you Novation. Gonna purchase this now :O

[@MadMax-un3yc]

I love ur vids plz keep posting them

[@timmyharbour]

I think you'll find I was the most professional Light-Straddling Administrator you'd ever encountered.

Hi, Please refer to the Novation website for a list of dealers.

[@mrvrandom]

[@kingdomofheavenmusic3]

[@AaronEvansMcSteebler]

INCREDIBLE. you sir are a genius

[@SleepCatSleep]

So talented

[@LianWolf]

I have got the Launchpad S and it´s really great :)

[@Demented1971]

I have one of these coming to my house today...:) I can not wait to get my hands on it. :D

[@DocSubnet]

This song needs to be 10 minutes longer hahahah. I love it so much.

[@Ephortless]

Off the chain had a very daft feel to it love it!

[@Mooskadoo]

Beautiful.

[@jasonhaug8653]

You are very talented man! Sooner or later I hope you become part of the Monstercat group!

[@Yirsi]

Awesome Video!

[@XPiquemal]

This morning my kid (13 ) asked me to pay for piano lessons. So i was like... SURE ! I just didn t realized that he was talking about Launchpad... XD So this is the new piano of the XXI century ? :D

[@TehEmerton]

THIS IS HOW YOU SHOW OFF A PRODUCT!!! But man the sad part is that when we get this we aren't gonna sound NEARLY as good hahaha

[@Cal-nm1pc]

Great multi tasking skills
