When I first got it I was mostly iOS and tried to make it work, but it's quite large. Lol right! I mean if you plan on getting any gear or moving into the desktop space, I feel the extra functions are overkill for iOS only. That’s a crazy omission! These people have a nice cash grab going leaving out play buttons lol 😂ĭo you feel like the LPP3 isn’t a good move for an iOS only producer? You of course can use a custom template but you have to change pages just to hit play. One thing to note though is that the X doesn't have a dedicated Play button. If you have a need for the 4 track, 32 step sequencer (hardware mostly, but can be useful as a step sequencer in AUM), then bite.
Outside of those, I think it is mostly clip launching with Atom 2. I've seen around here people have used it pretty creatively with Drambo, BM3 and Gr-16. It is a wonderful and beautiful device, though I have not used it much with my iPad. You can of course use loads of different instruments and rows of atom instances to do an entire song this way. You could record everything into one atom instance but that wouldn’t let you play around with it by launching/unlaunching the clips once they’re all recorded. It’s basically just set to ‘no scale’ - lit blue pads are white keys, unlit are black keys.įAC drum 1 is the first C then drum 2 is D, drum 3 is E etc.
When one is triggered to record, I then switch to note mode. You’re right, each instance is routed to a single instance of FAC Drumkit. The integration is tight so you can trigger each instance to record, launch, stop etc. Yeah I’m using session mode on the LPP where each pad represents an atom instance. Wow very fast and fluid! So what I’m I looking at exactly? Is this Different instances of Atom routed to the same sound kit being triggered, recorded, muted on the LPP? If so, would this same style of workflow work in Cubasis with Atom 2 across multiple instances etc?Īnd are you in a scales mode of some sort? How are the sounds laid out in that configuration? You can see an example of using this almost like a midi loopstation in my video here: The ability to arm tracks quickly makes it a great companion to atom 2 (and LK I believe) - not sure that the x can do this?
I’m not sure what else the pro has over the x but it’s seriously fun. Your iThang has more guts than it’s given credit for, and if you’ve read this far, please acknowledge head to toe as GOTH Here it is, there is an old timer interface that has lasted throughout time and space, will you actually submit to paying attention to these as opposed to swang’n ‘verb knobs? Only the times will tell.ħ. Spending a bunch of money on feature creep= SLM3 unless you can shake that image and stick to your budget squares. A clever person would not tell this kind of secret on a ( on sale ) $250 device, but WTF Novation->CMSCVLT!ĥ. I sold my circuit for a CMS, the sequencer is TOPS, the knobs output MIDI. LPX is the most expressive thang I’ve used under $200ģ. (MIDI out is off the charts under $200)Ģ. The gen 1 circuit is great, sans dusty glitchy buttons. I don’t want to be the regrets hardware guy, but in the quest for awesome sequencing, there were mis”calls”.ġ. With the notation pad devices, or a current gen device with pads, bear in mind it’s intended function and buy according to that need. So, in session mode, you can select the clip (instance of Atom) to be active, switch to notes mode on the launchpad and start playing the launchpad as a note source. When using a Launchpad X or Pro with Atom 2, besides clip launching, you can also use the Launchpad in Notes mode to play lines into the active instance of Atom.

What DAW or scenarios do you feel it’s best suited for?Īnd finally, at a difference of $150-$200, in your opinion, as an iOS only user, is it worth going Pro instead of X?Īnd please feel free to explain your personal experiences with it in general, your music genre, workflow, link relevant videos etc.įor those of us on the fence, or those who never thought to grab one, why should they give the Launchpad a said:įor those of us on the fence, or those who never thought to grab one, why should they give the Launchpad a look? How’s it for playing ‘piano’, chords, scales etc? Has anyone used it with Cubasis? If so how’s the integration? Pro’s & Cons?ĭoes the faders feature on the launchpad work natively in Cubasis via hui, mcu, or midi learn? I understand that on desktop in its intended DAW, it’s probably incredible, but I’m looking for the perspective of a strictly iOS user.Ĭan anyone explain the use of it in Atom Piano Roll 2 other than ‘clip launching’ ? The Launchpad X is currently on sale until the end of the month, so I’ve got a few questions for those familiar with it, and the differences between the ‘X’ and the ‘Pro’ on iOS.
