looks cool. no matter what i try, my new pc won’t recognize launchpad, so it may be time to invest in an alternative.
How does this compare to other pad controllers or the Launchpad Pro?
Not sure as I haven’t tried it. I don’t have Launchpad Pro I have Launchpad RGB I think. I just need some pads so I can chop up samples and trigger them in the Ableton Drum Rack. Bummed the Novation piece failed me.
Have you contacted tech support?
one finger music..
it looks cool but it also kinda just has the same functions as my old padkontrol minus the x/y
