7/14/2023 0 Comments Launchcontrol xl midi mapping![]() I paid for it, but I noticed right now it is FREE ! Perhaps somebody could take over this plugin and improve it. If somebody uses Live 9 it will still work and I strongly recommend. I could do all the things I mentioned plus many more with this brilliant tool. I contacted the developer, but they seem to abandoned Ultimap (that's a pity). I was quite happy with M4L ULTIMAP plugins until M$L released newer version and this plugin stopped working as expected throwing lots of errors. If somebody deals with the orchestral type of sound, most of the time will almost not need them in contrary to one who works with ambient or electronic sounds. The need for the encoders is base often on a type of music one creates. I asked Novation to implement this by default, and they promised to do so, but obviously after 2 yrs they did not. ![]() In Live9 and XL script from Isotonic I have had this nice red frame moving through the grid showing selected tracks. There is a tiny message shown at the bottom of the screen which on my monitor is unreadable (unless I put my face really, really close). The is especially painful when I scroll Left/Right through the tracks. So it is not an issue with using to many knobs but rather how to make them automatically assigned when I switch the track.Īnother annoying drawback of XL is that I never know which track is selected. 24 parameters for me is sufficient and most likely I will use only up to 16. I do not need 128 of them so no need to use banks. I can for example keep the same template and switch among plugin1, 2 and 3 but then I would like to have those same encoders assigned to different parameters. The problem arise when I need to recall the setup in Live. I have similar setup for knobs for all 3 plugins, so I can use the same template on XL. I created some settings for 2-3 commonly used plugins. Yes - for the most part I agree with you, and I do not think I overcomplicating this. Don’t let the technical thrills stop you from being musically expressive and creative. And on that particular device, you never will. You don’t see the details of what you’re controlling. But it’s hardly a device that gives a lot of feedback. The Launch Control XL does have a lot of encoders and faders. And maybe only control what you need to control in the moments you need to, simply by mapping them real quick in that set. Decide how much control you Really need at any given moment. Decide on a few favorite plugins/devices. And accept that some functions might be easier to control either with a mouse or just mapped ‘in the moment’ rather than buried in a myriad of complex controls. It’d be a good idea to write down a super basic formula. ![]() And even if you got to that point, it’d be very difficult to remember what does what on your controller. You do not need to be always able to control any and every parameter of every device just because it’s theoretically possible. So much work that you are perhaps not willing to do that work because the payoff might not actually be as great as how you imagine. It sounds like you’re trying to do a lot at once, or have great expectations, when there is actually a lot of work involved. If you guys have ideas and concepts, please share so we can figure this out. I was also considering Behringer but this device with knobs is sooo obsolete. I am not very anxious to spend $1k on a Presonus because I care mostly for the knobs to control-automate the sound, but if there is no other choice I would do that. This was however one of the best M4L plugins I have ever seen. I also used in the past a product for M4L called ULTIMAP which was excellent but for some reason the developer dropped it and there are some bugs which have not been fixed. Novation seem to be very limited in the software and I am surprised they still did not develop better software (despite they promised to do this when I purchased the device 2 years ago). I have found a way to do this but it is to slow and time consuming (which is Saving the preset). My Main concern is to program the knobs into one instrument at the time so when I switch among tracks I can have my knobs change their assignments. Now I'm looking for some alternative, either to purchase PRESONUS interface or getting Novation to work the way I want. They claimed nobody has problems but me, so I just ended up in a dead end with this. Asked Isotonic for help but all I got was a bunch of questions which (when answered did not help in any way). That have added some installation program and some new methods of configuring it, whe user has no control of where the stuff gets installed or how and I ended up with nothing working. I just purchased an upgrade of this same script but it is not working at all. I worked somewhat OK, but then I upgraded to Live10 and it did not work anymore. I tried the scripts from ISOTONIC STUDIO (with Live9). Any recommendations for scripts or tools to map Lanuch-ControlXL ?
