But if you follow the same pattern when creating configurations e.g. These are especially useful for the Behringer BCR2000s as these have 32 mappable knobs. There's a chap in Germany that makes bespoke blank overlays via eBay for just about any MIDI controller. If I'm having a brain fade, the overlays act as a mental crutch. But the beauty of things like Automap and PrEditor is that once you've set things up, things just work from that point forward.Īnd with bespoke MIDI configs for things like Arturia synths, I follow a similar pattern no matter the synth. There's definitely a configuration learning curve upfront. Your setup sounds incredible, but doesn’t it need a lot of brainpower to keep on top of it all? The playability of the Mk3 pads are a major improvement on older Maschine said: Which ironically gets used most often as a performance device, when playing Ableton drum Racks, FXpansion's Geist, NI Battery, and other percussion plugins. With all those controllers I forgot to mention one of the most important - Maschine Mk3. On the iPad front, both the Novation LP and LC get commandeered for a variety of use cases inclusive of Loopy ProĪ computer musician can never have too many controllers!ĮDIT. Luckily, Automap works perfectly with Ableton 11 and the other Sigabort script ' LAUNCHCONTROL XXL', works perfectly, and this is great for mapping the maximum 16 parameters that Ableton 11 introduced to its drum, instrument and FX Racks. It's apparently being worked on, but there were apparently some major API changes in Ableton 11 so it's taking longer than originally planned. The biggest miss is PrEditor as this provides AutoMap style mapping to non-Novation controllers. There is one major downer ref these control scripts and that's that many of the scripts haven't been updated to work with Ableton 11. But these are overpriced at the moment for UK customers, so I'm planning to pick one up next time I'm in San Francisco. With Arturia instruments, I make use of their own MIDI mappings and lock a particular controller to a specific instrument (and mainly use the Behringer BCR2000s for this, as they have 32 mappable knobs).īelieve it or not, I still have a MidiFighter Twister on my shopping list. The great thing with Ableton is that it's smart enough to allow many different controllers to operate simultaneously without conflicts as it's all SysEx under the hood, so there are no MIDI conflicts. I use overlays for certain controller/instrument mappings, as only the Remote Zero's and Push 2 have LED screens displaying the various parameters. The Novations have Automap (not the Launch Control) and everything else has control scripts (both bundled with Ableton and third party) with bespoke mappings created with PrEditor 2. I'm a bit of a controller freak, and have multiple Novation Remote Zero SL's, a Novation Launch Contol XL, an Akai Fire (with the CrossFire script for Ableton use), multiple Behringer BCR 2000's, and even a Behringer X-Touch Midi. This is really great for creating bespoke bindings for specific workflows/instruments/fx and suchlike. But most of all I build bespoke setups via Push Hacker. I prefer the feel of the pads on the LP so use that for performing notes/chords etc and use the Push 2 for most other things that don't involve performance with the pads.

I use both a Push 2 and LaunchPad Pro Mk3 and find they play well with each other. Bitwig also uses JavaScript for this and there are quite a lot of community scripts. It’s a pity that this hasn’t been used by the community.

When using Atom 2 I think there could be great ways of using both controllers when utilizing the custom controller scripting with JavaScript but I don‘t find time for that. I think I need to file a bug report to Imaginando. The APC controlling Loopy and the LPX controlling LK but it doesn’t work because LK always grabs the APC too. On the iPad I tried to use both controllers with the combination of Loopy Pro and LK. I find the scales of the LPX Midi mode quite limited. I don’t know if there is a comparable alternative controller script for Ableton. When using this setup with Bitwig I have also many more options and scales when using the „Driven by Moss“ controller script which goes far beyond the factory support for the LPX. I never really learned to play the piano and I like the scale modes on the LPX. Playing on the LPX is so different from a normal keyboard so I really come up with different melodies and I like how you can use velocity and aftertouch with it. Now I more and more use the APC as a DAW controller and the LPX in Midi mode.

I bought a second hand AKAI APC 40, which is kind of similar to the Push, and I already have a Launchpad X.
