NOVATION LAUNCHCONTROL SELECT BUTTONS MANUAL

NOVATION LAUNCHCONTROL SELECT BUTTONS MANUAL

MCP on the other hand is well supported by almost everyone because the original LC (Logic Control) controller manual came with full MCP protocol documentation. It is unfortunate that they chose to emulate HUI rather than MCP as HUI is outdated and deprecated. However, they may also just send a press message and expect the DAW to take the same event to mean different things, Ardour can not handle that without a device specific module as Paul has said. The buttons on the right that control the meaning of the lowest row of buttons may be internal to the unit and just change the messages those buttons send which would allow you to set up a useful midi generic midi map. This means you need to use a MIDI monitor like the one internal to Ardour to figure out your own MIDI map. Novation has not seen fit to give reasonable documentation on this device. HereвЂ™s a link for those who havenвЂ™t the faintest idea of what the controller looks like so that I am saying makes a bit of sense: The question is: Can you map the buttons on the right (or any other) to change the functions (mappings) of the bottom row of buttons in Ardour just the way ableton does? Doing so would increase the controllerвЂ™s possibilities ten fold. These buttons on the right hand side can be mapped to any other function in ardour, as they also send out midi messages. In ableton, however, you can change the function by pressing a set of buttons on the right, choosing between solo, mute or record arm. The Novation launch control XL controller has a row of buttons at the bottom which in ardour defaults to the track solo funtion.

The ardour mapping for the device works very well, but it lacks some functionality.

As many of you might know, this device is perfectly integrated with AbletonLive. I have recently purchased the aforementioned device and I am pretty happy with it.
