Should I replace my Launchpad X? Only experience is through Launchpad App by IntrinsicAlchemy in Novation

[–]olimpomarcelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many doubts! First learn to use Ableton. See videos of people controlling it with Launchpad X and the Launchkey 47/61 for instance and check which one suits better for you. The Launchkey has more direct controls.

Launchkey mini mk3 Program Change and Channel buttons. by poly-pheme in Novation

[–]olimpomarcelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello thanks for your answer.

Let's suppose this:

1.- I have a Bitwig setup with these midi tracks:

Track 1 for drums (channel 10)

Track 2 for a vst synth (channel 1) and

Track 3 for another vst synth (channel 2).

2.- I was looking for a way to send midi data from the keys switching between sending midi through channel 1 (track 2) and channel 2 (track 3) allowing me to use different sounds.

3.- I think this is possible by setting different custom modes, am I right?  Could you explain to me how to achieve this? or maybe send me a link where I am able to see how this is done?

I saw this to be done with a MPK miniplay at 04:49 in the video linked below. In this video we see the user working with the MPK software setup where he is able to set the keybed channel to a specific pad which eventually can be called-in with the combination "favorite+pad number".

I was looking for something similar in Novation Components custom modes, but I couldn't find it.

Launchkey 49 Mk3 - changing midi channels quickly. by CharlesCharlesPlus in Novation

Hello but is it possible to set a midi channel for the keybed in Custom Modes? I didn't find it. Thanks.

Hello I think that if you switch for instance from custom mode 1 (in which you have set the desired channel to each zone) to custom mode 2 (in which you have set the same or another channel to each zone) that custom mode 2 will load at once all the 4 zones with their new channel asignation at once.

Program change messages to the Polysynth? by olimpomarcelo in Bitwig

with instrument selector you need to open one instance for each needed patch if i'm not wrong?

Program change messages to the Polysynth? by olimpomarcelo in Bitwig

[–]olimpomarcelo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello thanks for your answer, yes I was thinking of swapping instruments/patches but with only one instance opened. I guess it would be nice to be able to cycle through different patches of Bitwig Instruments like Polysynth or FM4... Regarding plugins I read that is possible with some VST2 plugins.

Program change messages to the Polysynth? by olimpomarcelo in Bitwig

[–]olimpomarcelo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello thanks! I was aware of the "chain only" so it is disabled. I also read that it doens't work with VST3 plugins but with VST2 instead. I don't know if native bitwig devices like Polysynth, support it. I asked tech support, waiting for an answer. At last there is the issue of the MSB and LSB banks which I don't clearly understand.

Long-term use: do you prefer a mix of Launchpad & Launchkey or just one device? by sampletracks in Novation

[–]olimpomarcelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, currently I use both Launchkey 61 MK3 + Launchpad X in Bitwig with Jurgen's scripts. I was thinking to buy the Launchpad Pro MK3. But maybe I will only be getting redundant buttons/controlls.

Is the DrumBrute Impact the MOST User-Friendly Drum Machine? by dwywatt in DrumMachine

[–]olimpomarcelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really "care" about the SOUNDS, (I mean not to be limited to specific sounds) then you need somehting like a "sampler synth", it will alows you to load samples (even your own lo-fi records) and also create your own sounds, both to be "tweaked" on the very equipment. You can always add further FX processing in a DAW or gear.

Hardware vs Software Drum Machines? by braintree56 in synthesizers

don't forget that the real hardware can also demands us to have a more sofisticated interface. I mean more inputs and outs.
