Before anything, I am pretty new in this whole synth world with very weak understanding on sound design. I do own multiple synths such as Summit, Digitone2, Microkorg2 and Typhon. I do love the Summit as I learned everything about sound design on it but I can't ever get it to sound like Take 5 which i've only had a listen on Youtube. Typhon has the sounds I want but its monophony makes me look elseware.

So my quesion is, can it be achieved? I know it's not the right word but can't describe it in other words than 'warmth.' I am willing to sell everything else but Summit at the moment to purchase the Take 5 if I need to but wanted to make sure that it's not possible with the Summit.

Any other recommendations are also welcome that has that sound but isnt more expensive than Take 5 second handed.

Thanks in advanced! Happy producing guys!

My controller is communicating with Ableton in that I can press the low C note and get a kick sound, but it won't change which drum is selected so that I can step sequence. when I play a different piano key and hear a different sound, it doesn't change the selection.

Ableton is 11.3.43

Running on a MacBook

Midi settings have launchkey mk4 as the control surface and the 49 daw out as input and output as well as the track and remote settings below.

the midi drum channel is set to all ins. if I change it to the launchkey, it no longer receives midi, but when I'm hitting a piano key on the launchkey with all ins selected, it does play a drum hit, but won't change the selection.

I have factory reset the launchkey and made sure it's fully updated.

what am I missing?

I am an ableton 12 iser and want to expand away from the keyboard. It just makes me loose my rhythm trying to write notes then play. I already own a drumbrute impact, launchkey 25mk4 and a roland fp10. So I think that these would make me have a solid workflow for five hundred extra dollars. Anybody have opinions or have used either. Please let me know if this sounds like a solod plan
