Very nice to the touch.

Gram Ji 24.10.2021

I bought the Launchpad X as an affordable replacement to my Ableton Push 1 after the USB gave up the ghost. As a musician who has had guitars etc. for more than twenty years with no issues, I'm not impressed when expensive technology simply ups and dies.

The Launchpad X is obviously a simpler affair, but I do love the ability to programme the controller to suit oneself. I do miss the kind of scale and mode selection that came with the Push, but as an instrument for playing, the Launchpad has a much more sensitive, finger-friendly feel. The pads are wonderfully comfortable compared to the Push.

I miss things like a modulation strip and indeed, basic transport controls, but as a controller for integrating with Ableton and triggering scenes, etc., it's perfect.

If you're looking for something to 'play', then this is a great choice.

Great controller also for Bitwig (with custom scripts)

tacocat 31.08.2022

I got this specifically for use with Bitwig, which is made possible thanks to custom scripts by Drivenbymoss.
As it relies on these scripts, functionality could change in the future, so I suggest you do your research first, but as of Bitwig 4.3 it works quite well.

I got this instead of the Pro, because this is slightly smaller.
However, if I was to choose again, I would probably have gone for the Pro and try find room for it on my desk, for the extra functions.

But I'm reviewing this for what it is, not for what it isn't.
Great pads, solid build quality, very light and easy to pack in a bag with a laptop too.

Happy happy user of a Launchpad X

kVZP 29.11.2021

Assez nouveau dans la prod, j'avais besoin d'un "truc" qui allait accélérer et retirer tout les problèmes liés au DAW (complexité, distance main-souris (étant plutôt occupé avec mon clavier midi..), etc..)

J'ai vu des vidéos sur ce pad, et ... TUERIE, ca règle en gros mon problème de temps de réaction vis-à-vis de mon DAW !

En gros, j'ai gagné en accessibilité.
