Members Metrosonus Posted October 1, 2009 Members Share Posted October 1, 2009 Posted over at create digital music, photocredits, maybe them? anyway, just posted today. nice sized and cost effective competitor to the APC40. I passed on the latter due to the size and cost. Setup / breakdown time constraints are a big issue to me and I like to have everything more or less lined up visually with Live. @ 200$ it's affordable too. would go nice with my nanokontrol. shipping in november. happy birthday to me happy birthday to me.. http://createdigitalmusic.com/2009/10/01/first-hands-on-novations-new-199-launchpad-grid-controller-for-ableton-live/#more-7726 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Metrosonus Posted October 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 1, 2009 probably nothing much more than you could do with a drum pad until someone comes out with hacks and programs that you would use like midi yoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Metrosonus Posted October 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 1, 2009 me too, plugs all up and down the back too. with a laptop you need them on the side and so few people get that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wackawa Posted October 1, 2009 Members Share Posted October 1, 2009 'any use to us non-ableton users?' Well, my experience with Novation's automap has been pretty positive. I'm sure you could set it to control mixing functions, control send levels, etc in whatever software you are using. That could mimic the way this unit handles those functions in live. Beyond that..... I don't know. Drum triggering for sure, but I don't think many other DAW's have 'clips' that you could fire like Live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members d1rtynyc Posted October 1, 2009 Members Share Posted October 1, 2009 I am excited about this one! Seems to me as much more of a performance piece than the ACP40. And the price is right for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Metrosonus Posted October 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 1, 2009 something other than the size / cost put me off about the APC 40. i think it looked more like a full sized production control surface than a portable performance piece.
