It works the same as that mark 2 or whatever the guys using, it also work the same pretty much as the Push 2 so you can watch tutorials for that , if you don't have the buttons for it you don't have the buttons for it.

You can use it with many midi compatible devices as it's essentially just a controller. You can probably link it to a synths midi interface if the synth can use controllers. The device itself doesn't actually produce any sounds, it's a way to trigger sounds/events within software or compatible hardware. Think of it this way. Imagine you had a piano but it had no keys. You instead need to buy the keys, this controller is essentially the keys.

Ive been using Live for 10 years and the potential of these types of controllers are great...but basic UI paradigms are missing. eg Gestures on the pads which have been on loopers for a long time. What about a pedal input for hands free (semi) live looping? Great potential that takes so many years to materialise...just my frustrated 2c worth

At the low level it's a MIDI device and each button gets sent to the PC as a midi note, and the lights are controlled by sending MIDI notes from the PC to the launchpad. It's very possible to do this, but will probably require you to write the software yourself as it doesn't exist.

Here's what I can't work out. I've seen requests for the launchpad to be made compatible with Android going back for over 7 years. There are loads of people that would buy one to use with an android device, but for some reason Novation just seem to refuse to do this. Why? Is it some kind of tech snobbery? I can't honestly think of a good reason not to. Especially when you consider the fact that globally Android has the biggest market share, it seems non sensical to market an affordable piece of hardware only to people that have money to waste on overpriced and overhyped trash like iPhones and iPads. I personally have no plans to use my launchpad with my phone, but only because I know for whatever reason that will never be an option. I'd love to be able to hook my launchpad up to my phone to make tracks on the go or on lunchbreaks at work. I'm a paying user of FL Studio, I also use FL Mobile, but can't use my launchpad with it because reasons. Isn't it about time Novation caught up with the rest of us? There are a hell of a lot of us out here with really powerful android devices that could easily handle the launchpad and your other midi controllers, but we are left out in the cold without that option.

Now today I plug it in and the launchpad lights up, but it wont play a single sound. I've watched 3 starter tutorials, and each of them assumes it works right away or tells me what audio/midi settings to have in Preferences. I have done this over and over again, re-booted my Albeton Live each time, but still nothing. This video also assumes it works right as I plug it in. Can someone steer me to a more initial setup explanation? None of the intro tutorials are working. Thanks.

The only way I could do this is to set up a custom mapping page on the Mini using the Novation Components software/website and add CC buttons to it. Upload your custom mapping to the Mini. Then in Ableton use the midi mapping funtion to link each of the CC "button" pads on the Mini to one of the arm record buttons on the Ableton tracks. Save that Ableton project as a default to use with the Mini so you don't have to remap the Mini's pads to Ableton everytime you start a new project. It's not ideal, but it does work. You can also set up a CC "button" pad on the Mini and map it to the Capture Midi button in Ableton. The larger X version of the launch pad has a dedicated button for this, but you can have similar functionality for capture midi using the Mini custom mappings.
