[@Venetique]

Great reviews! Using this right now. Reccomend to people who are thinking to buy

[@plasmahvh]

OH DAMN! GONNA BUY THIS!

[@lunarwolfgaming1731]

This is great i have the launchpad S but everytime i connect it , the lights go on like its a firework show and on ableton the launchpad option is not on input or output only Microsoft gs wavetable synth and automap midi

[@RRivesNYC]

@DJ EVOL The Launchpad S has a few "hidden" functions that are outlined in the Launchpad S New Features Guide (AKA "Advanced Features Guide") downloadable from Novation's website, including instructions on Full Power Mode. Keep in mind that for full LED power you have to have the Launchpad S plugged directly into your computer's USB port or a powered USB hub. Also if you're using it with the iPad, it can not supply the Launchpad S with enough power for Full Power Mode. Thanks for watching.

[@BustyGretchen]

Great review, best I've seen so far! And I didn't know the Launchpad was so versatile. Can't wait to buy one! Oh and can I create bass lines with it and another DAW or is this done with the Launchpad/Ableton Live combo?

[@BandH]

BustyGretchen I'm glad we could help! The Launchpad S from Novation (B&H # NOLAUNCHPADS) is a multi-color button controller for use with grid-based music applications such as Ableton Live and FL Studio. For the DJ, performing musician, or studio producer, the controller provides everything needed to "play" the software straight out of the box, using the 64-button grid to launch and manipulate clips, trigger loops, fire off effects, control a mixer, and more. bhpho.to/1rxuww7 Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: [e-mail] >Mark

Update video for new software and FL studio set up?

[@TyphoidBryan]

I just found a Launchpad S at Goodwill for $6.00. I paid three because of it being tagged yellow and all yellow items were 'half off.' No kidding. It was not complete, as it was missing the special USB cord, but thankfully it just takes a printer cord, which I had an extra one.

[@BandH]

Nice Find!

[@carnat9565]

I know this video is old but i have a issue and i need help.I downloaded Ableton live 9 and when i plug in the launchpad the only lights that work/show are the 4 arrows up top 2 of them shine bright the other 2 are dim. I did all the steps and it still won't work thank you for reading this if you do.

[@user-ie6ki2ut5n]

Hi, i have a launchpad s. because of it being discontinued does that mean that I will not be able to use it at all or does it just mean that no new ones will be put out. i hope that makes sense.

[@n6ii338]

+B and H can connect it to the iPad or iPhone by port-able charger

[@luke4800]

Intex4Dubstep, the difference between the mini and the s is that the mini is smaller then the s but they both still have the same features! :D

[@ValTek_Armory]

I still like my last gen launchpad

[@multiverse1727]

Does a abode jow a good begginer launchpad. because I'm a begginer and I want one that will fit me just right

[@BandH]

+! Multiverse172 ! The Novation Launchpad S is now discontinued and no longer available. Consider instead the Novation Launchpad Ableton Live Controller MK2 which now features backlit RGB lighting to illuminate its iconic 8 x 8 grid of pads for launching clips, playing drum racks, and controlling your mixer within Live. The 64 pads are integrated seamlessly into Ableton Live. The RGB back lighting system is designed to match the color of the clips in your session for intuitive 1:1 production and performance. The controller comes with 1GB of royalty-free Loopmasters samples as well as the Novation Bass Station and V Station VST and AU plug-in synthesizers. bhpho.to/1QpEIYb Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: [e-mail] >Mark

[@woodswalker88]

I don't see how it's different than the regular Launchpad? I was told it would pick up the colors of the Ableton clips...that's what I wanted. Guess I'll have to get the Launchpad Pro.

[@EZZRAMedia]

Launchpad S is literally just a smaller version of the pro. It is a sniffly the same thing dies the sink the act same thing and honestly take it from someone who’s actually an artist and I’ve been in the music business since 2010 so yeah, like I said exactly the same thing they run the same runs all kinds of programs and stuff and yeah, nothing really changed. It’s just a smaller version, easier to handle

[@BandH]

+crosby 21233 Perform any available firmware updates. Is the controller connected directly to the computer? Only use a powered USB hub. ALSO: 1. Install the latest Novation USB driver 2. Install the latest version of Ableton 3. Restart the computer, connect the launchpad 4. Start LIVE 9, open up the midi settings and make sure they are configured correctly as per Novation setup guide. Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: [e-mail] >Mark

[@dezi9157]

This controller has been discontinued for many years. Please check your OS compatibility and any outstanding updates for this controller. Check your version of Ableton Live as well. You may need to re-install your software and drivers. >Mark

what is different with the original launchpad?

[@BandH]

The main differences are the S model has brighter LEDs, a faster LED refresh rate and the S is now class-compliant, which means it will now work with other software and with the iPad. Dana G. askbh{at}bandh{dot}com
