THIS APP DOES NOT PLAY AUDIO BECAUSE IT'S A MIDI CONTROLLER FOR ABLETON LIVE Launch Buttons is a MIDI controller that lets you perform your tracks wherever you go. You don't need to carry your expensive gear; your phone/tablet is just about enough. Works with virtually any DAW after a very simple set up. Ableton + Launchpad 95 script is recommended. This free version gives you access to all 64 buttons on the 8x8 grid, 8 scene launch buttons, 8 buttons to navigate and 7 buttons for transport controls. The Launchpad95 script gives you a step sequencer, scale mode, and many more functions. The Apple Watch extension lets you access about one fifth of the Buttons. This means that you can use the app to control a 3x3 clip launchers, 3 scene launchers, and 4 arrow keys to navigate through your clips. It also can display some of the buttons used for step sequencing, good enough for a little stunt in a live set I'd say. It includes the the "old" colors (red-orange-yellow-green) - if you want to upgrade, Launch Buttons Plus provides you with - full color support (RGB) - 16 more functions buttons (in addition to the 16 you already have) - 16 freely assignable knobs Have fun :)
I am a 7 year old boy who has Ableton live
I tried to use your app for music and it didn’t work. I should have listened to my mom and my app didn’t work
Good but
This app is good it’s just that u can’t hear any noise and when I tap the buttons on the launchpad nothing happens it looks nice from the cover but when I entered it nothing worked
Very hard to connect.
Followed all the steps, which is quite the hassle, and still couldn’t connect. I also like many others would buy the pro full version if I could even get the free one to work. Also, You must download another file on your computer that you use Ableton with to map the midi. Looks very cool in the App Store but functions terribly.
Doesn’t Work
Can’t even get the free app to work consistently. Don’t buy.
Can't leave menu
Okay, so I opened the app and there was a menu that was covering the whole display of the app and the exit button wasn't pressable and all the other options would work why is that?
Doesn’t work
I was tempted to buy the full version of this cause it’s only like five dollars but I can’t even get this free one to work, even tried connecting my iPad to my MacBook with a USB to lightning cable and I am getting midi messages from the iPad through this app but I cannot get them to be recognized by Ableton, I guess I’ll look somewhere else.
Finicky but works.
The latency and tendency to disconnect put me off a bit. it would be cool to see the colors mimic ableton. The watch app does not reflect what is on the phone properly so it’s hard to see where I am without actually looking at the track box in ableton. I was trying to find a way to connect without internet, router, or the upgraded bluetooth version and I figured something out on mac. Just create a network with the mac and turn on internet sharing in system preferences. after that connect the phone to the computer by bluetooth and then your phone should show up in audio midi network setup even when not connected to internet. Ps, I could not get launchpad95 to work with it. I might try again later but i’m just using regular launchpad scripts
