Novation Launchpad Pro LOVE!

 

Ok, so we recently got the #Novation #LaunchpadPro , it can be pretty expressive. So much so that my Lust for a #Roli #Seaboard Block no longer exists. I’ll try to make a video soon playing #guitar #music via it . The vibrato it can do is soooooooo sweet. So far I’ve really only tested it in the fabulous Open Source FREE #AudioKit Synth One and of course #Apple #Garageband ...... on an #iPad my jaw dropped. It’s that good!

Using the iOS GridInstrument app with External MIDI Synths

Have any of you fine folks tried the #GridInstrument app in IOS with your #Launchpad?


This is a tutorial that shows you how to use the iOS GridInstrument app with external MIDI synthesizers.

GridInstrument is an app that turns your iPhone or iPad into a playable grid (much like the Ableton Push or scale-mode on a Launchpad Pro).

It has a simple sound generator built in, but where it really shines is in its ability to output MIDI data. It has Audiobus 3 support so that you can send MIDI to other apps. It also has MIDI out support so that you can send button presses to outboard hardware or even to a Network MIDI connection.

But the coolest feature of the app by far is that you can hook up your Ableton Launchpad controller directly to it (using the Apple Camera Connection Kit) and it will let you play your Launchpad like a musical instrument.

4 USB Music Devices connected to an iPadPro

4 USB Music Devices connected to an iPadPro and the test was actually successful all four devices were powered up via the USB powered hub connected to the iPad Pro they all worked I’m quite shocked by that I expected having all four collected it once to draw too much power this is why I do these crazy experiments just because I think it won’t work I want to make sure that I’m not wrong obviously in this case I’m wrong. Apologies for shooting this handheld and without a mic. I shot it with a FiLMiC Pro on my iPhone.
