    Happy Holidays! My upload schedule is currently all out of balance due to me being on winter break but I plan on putting out some original content very soon (hopefully regularly) - including some brand new music ;) For now, I made another launchpad tutorial targeted at beginners out there who may be getting into the community this holiday season. Hopefully this video will better acquaint you with how to make your first launchpad cover. Enjoy! <3

    The first, real, and useful launchpad tutorial that I have ever seen on the internet, congrats sir, you just earned another like and subscribe.
  • 06:10 you if it doesn't work, un-click the midi button first, and then try to select your pages with your launchpad
  • @5:50, after typing the number in the midi mappings max column, go back and deselect 'midi' in the top right corner to activate the buttons. BTW: Thank you! This tutorial is exactly what I needed having minimal experience with Launchpad/Ableton I'm learning bits that are very useful.
  • @theogagentnate
    I was trying to figure out the Launchpad and only you where the good tutorial out there.
  • You deserve so much more than what you have right now on Youtube. Wow. You are the best at making tutorials!

    You have no clue how excited I was when I played my first sample on a button. Unbelievably awesome video

    Hi InspirAspir, you are a LIFE SAVER. I learnt so much from this video and I actually had a lot of fun using the software and my launchpad. I bought it yesterday and I feel like I'm progressing at a good speed. At first, I thought that it was hard to manoeuvre around the software, so this video seriously gave me hope, faith and inspiration. Thank you so much for what you do, you're an amazing person and I hope you'll be blessed in 2018! :)

    Honestly this is the most simple tutorial I've ever seen every other tutorial was so confusing thank you for this!!!
  • When working on a Launchpad Mini once you register all the pages to buttons you have to press the Map button right of the words Instrument Rack/MIDI Effect Rack and then press the side buttons 1-8 and then press Map again and it should work.
  • Just ordered a MK3 launchpad and doing research beforehand. This is useful and saved to my playing list, never thought it'd be that easy!! Thanks!!
