The Akai MPK Mini has a wealth of features that make it perfect for use with Ableton Live. The flexibility this provides is on another level, and I can flock back to the standard mix controls with the touch of a button. by Remotify Team Last updated on DecemThe Launch Control Xl from Novation is an incredibly versatile midi controller and is a powerful tool when used in combination with Ableton Live. I also have a performance template set up so I have my two FX sends (reverb and ping pong delay) on top of each channel, with a combined lo-hi pass filter beneath, then a beat repeat on each slider for each track. I use one of each - the factory setting I use for producing - volumes, panning, solo/mute/record arm and recording automation in device mode. The factory settings and user settings can be set up how you like. The faders are equally firm and smooth, it takes enough resistance to move them without them flying all over the shop in a slight breeze. The knobs have a 'click' to denote the middle (64/217) and have the perfect resistance - firm but smooth. The quality of the build is unbelievable, especially for the asking price. Whether you are an electronic music artist and Live is your canvas, a DJ using Live for performance and real-time mixing, or a more traditional musician using. The Launch Control XL is a masterpiece of design and works with you to make Ableton Live an expressive performance platform. I have about five solid years' experience with Ableton Live and have used a lot of controllers from the Push 2 to both APC40 models. You will need to do this when you first load a session, when you bank tracks (9-16, 17-24 etc.), or when you change from pan to send a, send b etc.I just want to pitch in my two cents - three months after this post I have purchased a used Launch Control XL. To correct for this you may need to turn the control from one end to the other in order to reset the range. This is great if you want to make a small adjustment but you may find you hit the end of the pot’s physical travel before before the virtual control on screen. The pan and send controls don’t have pot pick-up, they move immediately from whatever position they are in.

You will need to do this when you first load a session, when you bank tracks (9-16, 17-24 etc.), or when you change from pan to send a, send b etc.

In order to make these work we ‘emulate’ the operation of the encoders in firmware. The Launch Control XL has pots rather than encoders which have an absolute position. HUI is designed to work with encoders for pan and send controls.

The controls still work relatively to turn pans left and right.
AKAI APC MINI VS NOVATION LAUNCHCONTROL XL PRO
*Due to the Pro Tools HUI implementation, the centre detent of the LaunchControl XL pan pots will not directly correspond to the centre position of Pro Tool’s pan pots.

Fixed crash: Sending Sysex Messages with values out of LaunchControl XL´s parameter range to the device Added additional MIDI port "LaunchControl XL HUI" Release notes for Firmware Updater 1.2 (firmware revision 59)
AKAI APC MINI VS NOVATION LAUNCHCONTROL XL FULL
Added full class compliance (LaunchControl XL now supports use with MIDI-hosts like Kenton "MIDI USB Host" or iConnectivity "iConnect MIDI") I used the generic remote and a drum map so that it now does all the transport work, has 8 faders plus master, handles mute, send and record enable, can jump to 20 arranger sections and program drums in Groove Agent (for instance).
