Launchkey mini for Beatmaker 3
Match made in heaven...potentially
Comments
Its difficult to find just one controller to map all these pads and midi bindings that are available! I had to use 2 a Korg Nano Kontol 2 and Novatiin Launchpad mini.
Yeah. I was looking for a decent 16 pad solution with some additional controls. My nanokey studio almost worked but I hate only having 8 pads. I may end up just using it for the Arp
I'm really tempted, but I wish there was an option with an audio interface, two balanced inputs, like my old x-station.
i have an mpd 226 mapped and a launch control xl sorta mapped
@echoopera , there is a way to get all 16 pads by using the KORG Editor and set up Scenes, you have 8 scenes available to you that you could do 8 different mappings.
I did mines and it work perfect.
They're cheap as chips those Launchkey mini's, tempted to replace my Edirol with one, as it's not properly compatible with my iPad (or anything).
For the $ it can't be beat for me. Solid build quality and feel, tight integration with the Novation apps.
It also somehow feels intangebly right; not just another peripheral, a burden, but part of a music making hub.
Can you plug it straight into the iPad? Just read up on the Mk 2's, and there was something about external PSU's and firmware updates needed - maybe the older 'mini' version doesn't need it.
I'm pretty desperate for a decent MIDI keyboard/controller - my little Mikro Korg is great but only one octave of keys, and no knobs. In contrast my Edirol is a massive thing with knobs, pads and sliders galore but the controller software's been abandoned (thanks Roland) and almost nothing works. Weirdly it works fine with iMini which has a different MIDI learn to most apps.
I just need something in between the two that works, and is cheap. The Novation's look just the ticket.
Yep. I modified it in the editor. Just didn't like having to hit the scene button to shift to next set of 8 pads...felt odd while noodling. I use 16 pads in BM3 so I wanted direct access.
@echoopera , its more or less the same as a AKAI MPK Mini which you got to change banks to have this.It would of being nice if it had 16 drum pads.
Launchkey Mini doesn’t need a powered hub. Just the Camera kit.
I like mine a lot. The knobs, pads and buttons are quality and feel nice. My only complaint is the velocity sensitivity of the keys. I can adjust this at the iPad end, but by default it’s skewed low and when I do manage to play loud, I get all the loud. It’s not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of.
Thanks for the feedback. I'd probably go for the 49 key version - I find 25 keys too limiting on the Korg, and I'd probably get the mk2 newer model. Seems to be available for about £150 which is a good deal.
Can't afford it at the moment, but I'll add it to my Xmas list.
Yep, as said, it just plugs in and works.
how do you get your lights to work on the pads on your launchpad when its not using the launchpad app. mines work they just dont light up
dope setup
I bet Launchpad app is active but in the background.
