This comes with a basic version of Ableton. What is different about it than the full version?

True. It comes with a downloadable edition which is known as Ableton Live Launchpad Edition. The difference is, Ableton Live Launchpad Edition is pretty much the same thing as Ableton Live 9 Lite. It's like a demo version, but offers some more capabilities. I'd recommend buying Ableton Live 9 Suite Edition, or at least Ableton Live 8, Ableton Live 8 Suite, or Ableton Live 9.

you dont have full capabilities or any vst plug ins. you're also limited to only 8 channels

Which is "better" just depends on your personal layout preferences and work flow. They all essentially do the same thing. The 2 main differences are if you want 4 channels (N4) or if you want velocity sensitive pads (Mixtrack or DDJ). I believe the DDJ is also built for Serato so if you're a Traktor/VDJ user you may want to avoid that one as well.

Cubase Artist 7.5 is a simplified version of Cubase 7.5. So it is not the full version of Cubase. It is what one would need for a home studio instead of a professional studio. In my case I use it mainly for recording virtual instrument tracks, but you can also record audio. With Cubase Artist 7.5 you will need an ILock key which is the License to use the program. Apart from that you don't need any additional software unless you want to use instrument libraries additional to the ones that come with the software. In my case I use Cubase Artist 7.5 with EWQL and Garritan virtual instruments. I hope this helps. Cubase Artist 7.5 is a simplified version of Cubase 7.5. So it is not the full version of Cubase.

I tested it on Garageband, Ableton on windows 7 and it gave me Awesome results. Ubisoft made the best of two worlds. A little latency but nothing serious.

I use ableton and the mapping is all messed up, you need to use the studio software for full use of the samples, and in order to use it in any other DAW you need to run the studio software as a plugin which makes arrangement confusing and difficult. Maschine is well worth the price difference and you will never regret it

I think it is, i use it with ableton and it works perfectly. I havent intalled the cd yet

Yes and yes but you need the Ableton software before you can do anything with it

This did not come with Ableton. I don't use the software that came with the device, but it was either Sonar or Cubase that came with it.

If you want keys and pads get this if you are looking for a MPC style workflow get the Mpc studio. The mpc studio comes with its own software and includes akais sound library this mpk 49 is just a controller, so you need a DAW to sample such as logic protools ableton etc

It is a midi controller so has different sounds. The possibilities are limitless. It comes with synth and bass plugins and has a drum pad on it. I believe it comes with Ableton too

Hi. I really don't know since I don't use those programs but it is fully compatible with Ableton Live. You can map different knobs to control parameters in Ableton. It should work with the software you mention I think

I used mine for Logic Pro 9. And they were assignable. You should be able to use it for "up" "down" commands. If Ableton has any type of midi learn functions. You should be good to go! Hope this helped!

I have used an older model, but this is a USB midi controller that works best with Ableton (and can be used with FL Studio among others) software for music production as well as DJing. Within Ableton, you can control clips, or the part of the song you want to play, volume, sends, and returns. Other modes allow playing armed instruments with up to 72 pads or using effects that can spread on up to 72 pads.It is a USB, LED-backlit item used with music but you can decide its purpose depending on the software you prefer.

Should be once you find the midi map for it. They're all midi devices and should all work with all software once you can remap. Its made for Serato DJ though which is a free download or comes on a CD with the package. Not trying to get on my high horse but pro DJs are pretty much split between Traktor and Serato. Virtual DJ has improved much from its beginnings but its no Serato IMHO.

It can be used in fl studio and ableton and make it more simple to play a track on ur computer

Yeah, I believe so. Jut make sure to go to the audio settings/options to change the configuration. I'm 100% positive it works with Ableton as well.

I use it inside Ableton but the proprietary software is very stable and you can edit your work nicely. I really like this thing
