Novation’s Launchpad may have begun its life focused mainly on controlling Ableton Live. But a new update, while not radically different from the original, is more flexible, working with more software and more operating systems – including the iPad. It’s also brighter and refreshes faster than the original.

Yamaha MU80, Ableton, Launchpad Demo

April 2, 2013 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on Yamaha MU80, Ableton, Launchpad Demo 

Here is a demo Jordan Passmore recorded that is composed solely of tones from the Yamaha MU80. Ableton is sequencing most parts while he plays one patch manually. The track’s clips are all triggered by me with a Novation Launchpad. No effects were added to the MU-80.

“I feel like a lot of producers dismiss ROMplers like the Yamaha MU80 but I really, really enjoy using these things. They’re limited in a fantastic way; paired up with a solid sequencer (like Ableton) you can arrive to a place in your productions you may never thought existed.”

Spooky Sequencer

June 13, 2012 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on Spooky Sequencer 

Background information:

I’m experimenting with different sequencer approaches on the Launchpad. The code is running on a DIY microcontroller board, turning the Launchpad into a standalone MIDI hardware sequencer.

In this clip the top 6 rows of the Launchpad grid are mapped to MIDI notes (counting along and upwards from note C3). When the step counter in the lower 2 rows hits a green square it plays the next green note selected in the grid, same goes for red notes.

A yellow square in the step counter plays next red and green notes together. A yellow note in the grid behaves like both a red and green. The result is two cycling note lines that fall in and out of synch with each other depending on how many notes are selected of each colour. It comes out kind of hypnotic and spooky – not really what I was originally going for, but I ran with it anyway.

The hardware is an FTDI VNC2 chip on a DIY board. I am fighting with the buggy IDE and compiler to try to get a useful standalone hard sequencer/control surface from the Launchpad.
