Hi there,

I’m currently in musician in residence for the NHS Newcastle Hospitals Charity. I’m designing a Music trolley to be used on the wards. The trolley will feature an iPad, a synth, a record player and various other instruments. I have acquired a launch control XL and a focusrite Scarlett. I want the Scarlett to be the main hub, and the launch control to act as the main controls.

My current predicament is how to monitor audio through the Scarlett (since focusrite control is obsolete). I am thinking AUM might be good, as it’s midi mappable, so some of the faders on the launch control could be permanently mapped to the record player volume, with mute and solo buttons too?

I am disappointed to learn that the transport controls aren’t mappable, so I can’t assign them to Ableton Note, for example. Is there a workaround for this?

Would really appreciate some help! The trolley will be operational soon. Thanks so much!

Is it possible to control two things by one knob on Mininova? Manual says that "The same source can control multiple destinations, and one destination can be controlled by multiple sources." but it looks like this is true only for some sources (like velocity and modulation wheel) not knobs.

I’ve got an old launchpad mini - trying to use it with ableton 12.4 on Mac tahoe but it’s stuck in Vegas mode.

Is this a driver issue or a power issue?

I have very little music background most is I could I play a few chords but I’ve seen covers with both these products and it looks like a lot of fun which one would be the easiest for a beginner

Hi all,

Recently I've been experimenting with a tool to help speed up my music making with Circuits, I've been able to put together an html based solution where you can upload Circuit Tracks and Circuit Rhythm Project files and receive MIDI files matching the Project.

This helps speed along moving something made on a Circuit into a DAW project, or for use on other hardware.

I'm sharing this tool in this community because it's something I put together as a curiosity, and at this time we have no further plans to release it. Please note, this is a personal project and not an official release, the tool has not been tested by the Novation QA team and this is not an official Novation release. The goal for this project was just to convert Project files to MIDI files and no further features are planned.

You can download the tool here.

Best regards, Tom H // Novation Support Lead

Wish I could grab a picture of it, but we got them in at my (work) recently. I wonder what the new features are!! I have a 49 myself, if they’re good enough maybe I’ll get the 2 61-key

I'm trying to figure out how to either Factory Reset, or delete packs one by one, on my Circuit Rhythm. I can't seem to find a way to do this.

Anyone know how?

I’m quite new to using the Launch Control XL Mk3 with DT2. I like it a lot and it's great to have more control of the DT. How are users dealing with switching between Digitakt Patterns when the controller doesn’t feed back current encoder position or fader position.

I’m finding it super annoying when I switch to a new pattern and turn an encoder the DT is on catch up. I'm often getting abrupt volume changes when using sliders.

How can I get around this? Would it be better to bite the bullet and plug everything into a computer instead of trying to stay dawless ?

I'm often just messing around with the Digitakt jamming with a few pattens , any advice on how I can change how using I'm using it to work better with the Launch control ?

Hello, I'd like to know if, like the Novation FL Key, the launcher is plug-and-play with Fruity Loops, or if I need to completely remap all the keys?

Thanks in advance

Finally received my UB-1 Micro. It’s a great little synth, but I’m have trouble with the midi connection to my Launchkey.

Signals are being received by the UB-1, however, something strange is happening when I press a key: it plays the appropriate note, but when I let go it sustains a lower octave of the note I just played, even when I’m not pressing a key. I don’t have a sustain pedal attached. I thought it might be an errant cc signal, but turning off cc messages doesn’t seem to make a difference.

The Launchkey works fine with the JT-4000m, and the UB-1 worked fine with a different midi controller. Anyone know what might be going on here?
