I think an instant pattern change might be the closest thing to what you’re looking for?
The other option is restarting or pausing/resuming the LPP3 sequencer manually (which would not affect the T-1 if it’s connected to the Out 2/Thru port).
9.3.5 Instant Pattern Change
You may instantly switch between Patterns while the sequencer is playing. Hold shift and select a
pattern (or pattern chain) to instantly switch. The sequencer will count into the new pattern as if it had been playing from the start of playback.
Tip: If queued switching between patterns of different lengths has left your track out of sync, use an instant pattern switch to knock it back in time.
Hey, really thanks! I need to read better the manual…The instant pattern change option is working fine, need to think how I will do it ‘live’ but it might work. Need practice… The other option, restarting manually can also work, but one need to be really accurate, if not, you are out of time…
Hello everyone !
When using custom mode with single midi notes, do they send aftertouch ?
My idea would be to set different single midi notes on different midi channel and convert the aftertouch data into CC with Blokas Midihub. So I could use the LP as a pressure controller to control midi parameters.
Can’t swear for custom mode, but aftertouch is a standard part of the Pro 3 options, so I expect it’ll work. I almost always have it disabled because it’s too easily triggered, which I find is a common issue with pads. If a patch has aftertouch vibrato, it’s very difficult to play a sustained note without activating it (practically impossible if you also have velocity active).
The aftertouch works fine and it’s only really a problem if the patch you’re using clashes with pad control. With a decent keyboard you can feel the aftertouch start to engage and that gives you control. With a pad, or at least with the LP3 pads, velocity and aftertouch are all part of the same system, so if you have both active you very often trigger the aftertouch whether you want to or not - play a bass synth hard and the force will activate the aftertouch immediately. Try to reduce pressure after playing and it’s very easy to just send a note off message. If you’re trying to hold a note on a pad, it can very hard to control aftertouch. I’ve never had a problem with a keyboard, but I’ve never had much success with a pad. But again, designing around it will be important - you’ll likely hit a lot of problems if you’re browsing through presets, but as long as the synth you’re using has sufficient support, you can build your sounds around the controller. Pads can be very expressive, e.g. with the performance mode on the Rytm - but that’s divorced from actual playing., and you’re using the pads more as faders than keys.
Maybe I’m just ham-fingered, of course. A pad with a soft attack is easier to control with aftertouch. Anything with a hard or percussive attack, I find it a consistent struggle.
Ok, thank you for your precision. I was thinking getting a Launchpad Pro MKIII to play expressively Digitone patches (I played bass during many years but I don’t know how to play keyboard, this is why grid pad controllers are a good solution for me)
I’ll check that, thanks - if it makes a difference for me I’ll report back.
@Billy1992 - the LP3 does have various grid/scale layouts that are probably useful from a bass player POV. I think the Digitone engine is probably a good candidate for expressive playing with the LP3 - lots of scope for bringing in FM modulations that way - though as far as I’m aware the Digitone only does channel aftertouch, not poly, which may be a consideration (if I’m right). I can hook up the Digitone and LP3 tomorrow and see how well I get on.
Any clue why when playing Virus Ti patch with the LPP3, the sound is slightly different if played from note layout or sequencer layout? it happens on some presets…
If I recall correctly there’s no aftertouch on sequencer view, but it is on Note one.
Also, unless you’ve updated to the latest firmware - there was a bug that AT would engage with the lightest touch
I’m not convinced it’s anything more than an attempt to engage with people in the comments.
That first image looks like it could be the Peak/Summit. The last is definitely a Circuit.
Yeah they’re running a fair bit of content on older devices at the mo. The grid of pads looks like… a Launchpad? And some of their other keyboards in there.
I need to read better the manual…The instant pattern change option is working fine, need to think how I will do it ‘live’ but it might work. Need practice… The other option, restarting manually can also work, but one need to be really accurate, if not, you are out of time…
