Description

A device for Novation Launchpad to make it into a 1 bar beat drum machine, splits the launch pad into 8 x 4 segments (top and bottom) then visually indicates what part of the bar is playing and lets you place where you want the beats to be placed.

Here is a link to a Vimeo Video of me demonstrating it: http://vimeo.com/16225034

Because I am using the MatrixControll object to deliver 3 values, the picture may not display correctly - if this is the problem please download http://www.petermaxwelldixon.com/drumlauncher/M4L.matrixctrl.black.3value.png and put it in the max search path. (Mine is Mac HD/Applications/Max5/patches/picts/m4l-picts/)

Hope you enjoy my first Max for Live device.

Please give my your opinions for other features / how it works on other computers!

    Cool, thanks! I'm on XP; downloaded yr png, it works simple & clear. Can not seem to get the preset thing working though.
    Nice app!

    thanks for feedback, I am going to try and re-write the preset bit as want to make it talk to ableton to be able to store and recall midi parts from the sequencer... though this might be a pain to try and implement! But I think it would be useful...

    Is this broken in Live 9? I can't seem to actually trigger notes from the Launchpad anymore... :(
  • manysounds · November 22 2013
    Yes, it appears to be broken in live 9.1/max6.1.5
  • Sonoquilibrium · February 10 2014
    I have the same problem using Live 9.1 and Max For Live 6.1.5.
    When I press the key on launchpad, it doesn´t assign it.
    I can not see the whole picture of drum sequencer.
    Otherwise I can say that it´s great device to work with Launchpad.
    It´s possible to assign more than for samples at the time, or 4 is fixed?
    Thanks,
    Matej
