Hmm. That's a lot of money for what you get.
Do you know this presonus controller?
Now we only need to wait another 2 years for sequencer mapping and parameter feedback in Drambo 😁
Yes, I do in actual fact.
I've been looking at it alongside Novation Circuit.
I've already got four midi controllers and a keyboard that I'm considering
removing the keyboard from and keeping only the panel with the encoders on.
Removing the keys will necessitate building some sort of case
to make it presentable hence why I haven't done it yet.
It's an 88 key midi controller.
The Intech controllers are small, neat and I can get precisely what I need.
If there was something similar which was more affordable
then I would certainly be interested but all of the really small
format controllers are simply super expensive.
I saw one company on eBay that was selling a couple of midi faders
for the price of a Launchpad mini mk3 or thereabouts.
Go figure.
Only two years?
There's hope.
Lololol 😁
This is so much fun but it is a never ending hole. I also had my last one fail while on the road, which didn't make for a fun set that time. Because of this, I just script off the shelf stuff now. Far easier to just grab another whatever from whatever local guitar center and throw a Mozaic instance at it.
Yep. There's no practical purpose in it other than making me feel like my 3d printer wasn't a total waste of money
.
No way I'd rely on anything I constructed myself in a live situation.
Always thought this would be a good candidate to script for Drambo. Class compliant audio interface built in, too:

I have to refrain from getting a 3d printer. There's always something to print.
Needs lipstick.
I like the Korg PadKontrol a lot for Drambo. They’re very cheap used and the X/Y pad is fun. Easily to make custom “scenes” without having to read a manual.
I have the piano tuner coming tomorrow so had to get everything off it and am trying out this stripped down setup:
Nice CP @BroCoast! 😍
Thanks, it’s become pretty wonky so I am looking forward to it being tuned up.
Here it is through my JC120:
I just threw an SM7 vaguely in front of the amp so it’s not the best recording.
Oh how I love that sound @BroCoast 😃
Thanks for the sound bite!
Awesome thanks man
I have 1/2 of that setup -- just got the LaunchControl XL. I'm really interested to know how you decided to map yours?
Nice to see that I can map up to 8x User and 8x templates (8 banks each).
Not sure if any of the key combinations described for Ableton can work. Would be nice to map a "track left / track right" like Drambo has with sequencer. Just got the control, open to any recommendations/discussions!
(Big fan of old Faderfox controls, but my they are steep!)
Ditto 🤩
I had a breakthrough with Drambo controllers today. I’ve been using an OP-1 and a NanoKontrol2 and it’s great, but the cable spaghetti is a mess: Kingston Nucleum hub, regular USB hub, cables for everything including power. And the Nucleum sprouts connections from both sides, which makes it worse.
Then I remembered I have a big 20,000mAh battery pack that can also pass data. It has one USB-C port (iPad), and two USB-A ports (OP-1 and NanoKontrol).
Works an absolute treat. I think I will make a little tray stand for this setup. It works quite well.
I'm currently looking for a big battery pack for my iPad, and also a USB hub. What brand and model of hub / battery do you have @mistercharlie?
dude I sort of hate you and love you for your excellent taste and collection of gear.
I normally use Factory Scene 1 as the main mixer when I'm using the default Template.
I have done extensive mapping for projects including
Templates for some of the synths I've designed in dRambo.
Here's one of the maps.
This particular synth has two pages of mappings.
@Gravitas hey how do you actually map templates on the XL? I’ve had mine a couple of years or so now and have absolutely no idea, there doesn’t appear to be any documentation I can find, and I’m a complete noob when it comes to this sort of thing. I can map the faders and pots just fine, but when it comes to the templates, etc I just don’t know quite what to do, like what are the factory templates and how do I access them, let alone set up my own
The Factory Scenes themselves are generic except
for Factory Scene 7 which caters for Fruity Loops.
The ones you can set for yourself are User Scenes 1-8.
I use Midi Synth Control on iOS for the user scenes but obviously you can use Components.
When using dRambo I don't bother with changing the default messages
on the LC XL and I use Midi Mapping in dRambo to map the modules etc to the LC XL.
To change scenes press either "User" or "Factory" on the top right hand
of the LC XL together with the pad for the template/scene/channel you need.
For instance if you need to send midi messages
on channel 7 then you would press "User" + Pad 7.
If you need to send midi messages on channel 12 then you press "Factory" + Pad 4.
User Scenes are midi channels 1-8
Factory Scenes are midi channel 9-16
@Gravitas @ghost_forests , we should break off a Launch Control XL thread! Its a cool interface, right?
I notice Gravitas left off those right side buttons. They have special purpose on Ableton Live, but with Drambo they are just buttons. So I map those to play / record and previous/next for Drambo's sequencer.
But I wish someone (helloOoOoo?) would figure out how to make those work in Drambo too.
Last -- i use Factory 1 to do main mix also, have it as pan/mix a/mix b per channel & I keep far right strip as master. I rarely have more than 5x tracks in Drambo, so i could map bus a/bus b also, but havent done that (yet).
Things get wild when mapping other scenes to do more. I should get more standardized (makes easier to remember!!!), but I haven't yet. But generally User 1 gets mapped to multiple FX knobs (all over Drambo).
Toggling from User 1 & Factory 1 seems easier for some reason than User 1-8 or Factory 1-8.
Ive never had the patience to map more than User1 / Factory 1. Has anyone EVER used all 8/8?!? That would take so much time!!!
But if there was a way to auto-magically map all those knobs, wow! Minds would be blown, right!?!
I actually use the side buttons like any of the other buttons.
I generally map them to cycle, loop, pattern up and pattern down
when using Factory scene 1 as mixer.
My current configuration is actually quite intensive.
Factory scene 1 is for the mixer and effects trigger.
Factory scene 2 is a 16 step sequencer for my Behringer Crave
with cut off freq and pitch per step control using the knobs and faders.
User scenes 1-6 is for editing the sounds on the Korg Volca Drum.
User scene 7+8 is for the Korg NTS-1 and that is for a 16 step sequencer
and can toggle between the 16 step sequencer, Arpeggiator and midi thru.
The knobs are for cutoff freq , note length, Shape and Alt for the NTS-1.
I’m now about to map on Factory scene 3 the controls to edit the Korg NTS-1
as I’ve further developed the patch editor that I put up on patchstorage
not to long ago.
For the LC XL to automagically be mapped it needs a project actually set for it it seems.
I’m currently thinking about ways to do it.
I think it will need sysex exclusive messages rather than using just midi notes and cc messages.
my favourite controller for performing with Drambo is the Faderfox UC4
for producing, i tend to use the NanoKey Studio. I select the Drambo channel I want to record to and use the keys to do melodies and rhythms. the knobs are useful as ad hoc controls that I set when needed to record automation or for tweaking a control to find the right spot.
here's a jam using the UC4:
I also use the LCXL for jams that require more knobs, these videos have some notes on screen which explain my process a bit more. AUM is the host in this case but Drambo is sequencing everything. Considering the discussion above, there might be some food for thought in the onscreen notes here:
In the past I have also used the Numark DJ2GO2 Touch as a controller for Drambo, here's a quick vid I made about that set-up:
to be honest, I haven't used the Numark with Drambo much recently, but maybe it will match someone's workflow
@drewinnit Wow, you haven't even used the DJ wheels for scratching in Drambo? 😉
@drewinnit This controller type works for scratching in Flexi (Works with my Hercules DJ controller but it should be the same with yours):
@rs2000 thanks!
