Launchpad

Novation Creates a step sequencer for Max For Live. I had heard rumblings from AES that Novation was working on some Max For Live Patches. Now, Novation's first foray into the world of Max For Live has bared fruit in the form of a melodic step sequencer.

The step sequencer utilizes the user2 mode of the Launchpad and turns it into a step sequencer. There are multiple options provided by the buttons down the right hand side of the Launchpad. The options allow you to change the function that the button grid will modify. You can select options such as note value, octave, duration, etc... Check out the video after the jump for more info.

This is part two of the multipart In Control (Launchpad Edition) series. This tutorial highlights how to switch modes when controlling the Launchpad. You will learn how to grab the mode (session, user1, user2, and mixer) and only apply actions and listeners while in the chosen mode.

As always, the patch for this tutorial is available in the tutorial section of the forums.
