Description

Novation's Launchpad S is a powerful 64-button music controller that lets you make music or mix tracks using an intuitive grid of multi-color buttons. It comes with Ableton Live Lite, used by some of the world's top DJs and producers, and it supports other grid-based music applications such as FL Studio. Whether you're a DJ, performing musician or studio producer, Launchpad gives you all you need to play your software. Use the 64-button grid to launch and manipulate clips, trigger loops, fire off effects, control your mixer, and more. It also triggers loops and effects in the new Novation Launchpad app for iPad; a totally self-standing music performance app that hosts sounds and effects. Hooked up to your computer-or iPad-via USB, Launchpad S is fully bus powered, and it's lightweight and easy to carry. Launchpad S is the evolution of Novation's best-selling Launchpad controller, with brighter buttons, significantly faster refresh rate and it supports multiple software. It even converts your iPad into a grid-based music system via a Camera Connection Kit (not included). Novation has created a Launchpad app for iPad, which hosts its own sounds and enables you to trigger loops with your Launchpad S hardware. There is also a range of effects that can be triggered using the buttons. Launchpad S integrates with FL Studio's performance mode, so you can trigger clips and get hands-on control of powerful new performance zone features. Use the buttons to sketch out beats with drum racks, and assign them to additional functions. You can control almost any music software using Novation's award-winning Automap control software-and Launchpad S is fully MIDI class-compliant so it drives any MIDI application. It also comes with a software version of Novation's analog mono- synth-the Bass Station. You can use this as a plug-in within Ableton, FL Studio or other DAWs. There is also a sample pack supplied by world leading sample producers-Loopmasters. From the Manufacturer A powerful music controller using super-intuitive multi-colored buttons.

    • Great!

I bought a refurbished Launchpad S, and it came flawless, with serial keys and everything. FL Studio users like me will like to know there are stickers you can use to change the labels on the buttons to match the mapping Image-Line provides, along with an Automap sticker and 2 blank stickers for you to write on. It's bright, and the pads are great (not owning the previous Launchpad, I can't compare them), and it is a lot of fun. Thanks to IL's mapping it integrates very well with FL Studio and Deckadance (provided you are using Deckadance 2.2 at least ad have the MIDI script provided in the forums). It does work with any program but not all of them will be able to make the pads light up as it depends on the LP S receiving MIDI messages for each pad. I haven't tried Automap (for the IL mapping to work along with Performance Mode, Automap is NOT to be installed) but maybe it allows you to have some light feedback on it. It's light, has grip pads underneath and comes with Ableton Live Launchpad Edition (which is very similar to Ableton Lite, I haven't installed it, but it should be Live 8. Should you want to upgrade your license, having this version lets you upgrade for 299 pounds instead of 399, if I am not mistaken), Novation Bass Station (software version, of course, as a VST that comes with a special mapping for Launchkey, which I do not own) and a Loopmasters Sample Library (downloaded it, haven't gone through it yet). I can tell you, people love the lights and play with the LP even if they have no idea what they are doing! I also have the AKAI LPD8 which, along with the sliders the LP has with FL Studio (which work great, sliding your finger across pads is quite easy and smooth, I do suggest using the joint of your finger instead of the tip, it works a lot better) gives me all the controls I need. Should you be an FL user and are interested in knowing the mapping system, it has: A keyboard Slicex Mapping FPC Mapping (with 8 sliders total on this page) 2 slider pages with 8 sliders each (one page for vertical and another horizontal) Gross Beat page XY controller (just like the sliding, it works well, considering it's not a touch screen or actual XY controller) For more information, you can check IL's forum. Overall I am very happy with this purchase. Add in the bonus of it arriving a week earlier than Amazon's estimate, and it was a smooth purchase! ... show more

My daughter purchased this item with her Christmas Savings after finding it on You Tube. She is really into dub step and mixed media and wants to create some of her own. The Novation Launchpad S came with it's own bright orange, high speed USB to printer cable. They recommend that you only use the enclosed cable, but you can use another if this one is lost. It feels pretty solid and looks nice. You do not get a disc. Instead, all software is down-loadable from http://www.novationmusic.com/ after registration. It took me about 30 minutes to download and install the driver (optional), applications, product tutorial, projects and the “Launchpad S Getting Started Guide”. It was hard to determine what software was necessary and what software was just for fun, so I installed all of it! During installation, Ableton Live Lite 9 ask for an activation code. The code is NOT on or in the box as described by the set up video. It is located on the Novation Music web page after you have registered your item successfully. Unfortunately the free projects provided on the download page were not meant for the application (Ableton Live Lite 9). Ableton Live Lite 9 gives you a limited amount of features, so many projects that you can download for it aren't fully functional. You can upgrade your Abletion Live application to get more functionality for a small fortune. Ablation Live gives a 40% discount to students and teachers that may help reduce the cost. Personally, I plan on installing the 30 day free trial of Abletion Live 9 (https://www.ableton.com/en/trial/) to use while I research other less costly applications. My daughter is young and talented, but I can not justify spending hundreds of dollars on one application. Setting up the preferences in Ablation Live Lite 9 was simple using the “Getting Started Guide”. Initial testing of the Launchpad S was a success. A few minutes of tinkering with the Novation Launchpad S was all it took to impress me. I thought my twelve year old daughter was purchasing a toy! This is far from a toy. It is a musical instrument that will produce and perform electronic music at a professional level! At this point I handed the instrument over to my daughter and reminded her that it could take a long time to learn how to use it. Unfortunately, the next day my daughter brought back the Launchpad S. It was no longer being recognized by either PC in our home, the Vegas light show would not turn off and it sounded like something small was loose inside the case. I easily located the phone number for Novation Technical Support. Upon calling Focusrite Novation Inc. - Technical Support at (310)322-5500, I was assured that they would help me obtain a replacement quickly if Amazon was unable to do so. The technician was prompt and courteous. He informed me that it would take approximately two weeks to exchange the defective Launchpad if I went direct. Since I purchased this item from Amazon, I have made arrangements for UPS to pick it up from my home and send it back to them for a replacement. Amazon provides an exchange option that will receipt the new Launchpad within days! There have been a couple of surprises with our Novation Launchpad S, but my daughter and I are happy with the product and customer service so far. I hope to find a more cost effective Digital Audio Workstation to replace Ablation Live with. We can't wait for the new Launchpad to arrive in the mail! ... show more

    • Great little controller
The build quality, while plastic and rubber- still feels very sturdy. The pads which have a small cutout near the center so you can find the 4 pad "segments" make it handy for bashing without having to look directly at the unit. They have a good reaction time, a nice bounce and feel like they could take a decent beating. The compactness of the unit is very nice, and I dont just mean the smallness of the size, I mean it feels like the components are sandwiched into the case very nicely and is compact like a brick. I would not want to have to disassemble it. Worked out of the box. Set up MIDI-wise very much like a keyboard by default, in fact if you were daft enough you could use this as a keyboard. In a pinch you could easily use it to lay down some basslines or whatever. Plugged into my generic (and also tried on official CCK) Camera Connection Kit and it worked like a champ on my iOS 6.1.3 iPad2 and the miscellaneous apps I tried it with. I am looking forward to doing some serious bashing with this unit. I like it a lot so far. It was what I was expecting. And the size is a very good size, anything else would be TOO BIG. It is just the right size for my situation where I am often cramped with gear and detritus all about. ... show more
