It"s very useful and also awesome I and it comes with abortion live 9 free and it also comes with a portable launchpad charger so u can bring it anywhere and it also comes with a free iPad launchpad coupon and a coupon for any apple device and the best one a golden skin for the launchpad

Mediocre. It only takes 8 tracks and some features are disabled, but a solid starter for a beginner

Well I haven't really compared the two but the lite software is free with the purchase of the Novation Launchpad. The lite version fits the needs of beginners and gives you everything you need to run the pad.

Yes. The included DAW is Ableton Live Lite, which can run up to 8 tracks simultaneously. If you already have another software products then it will depend on their particular limitations. To find more info about Live Lite you can head over to Ableton's website.

I heard logic pro was pretty good, i was initially trying to purchase it; but they don't make it for my computer. Mixcraft was recommended by a friend of mine.

What DAW or dj software does he use? That midi controller is pretty much overall. It really depends the use.

There is a monthly fee for the software that ranges from $14/month to $75/month depending on what functionality you want in the system. The lite version which costs $14/month is free if you process your credit cards through us, however, the lite version is an extremely basic option that doesn't include things like inventory reports. In regards to set up you can set up the system yourself and add products manually or you can provide us with an excel file with your products information for us to Upload. To upload a product file into the system starts at a one time charge of $50 (the exact price depends on what information is in the excel sheet and how many products you have). We do offer free training which we highly recommend to everyone so we can walk them through how to set up their system.

I actually have one of the new Macbook Pros with Retina as well. I bought my MPD32 used and it was completely lacking the included Ableton Live Lite Akai Pro Edition which it should have been bundled with. You should be able to get a copy online I'm sure. I believe you can always get a demo of Ableton Live from them directly as well at https://www.ableton.com/en/trial/. Honestly, you don't NEED that software. The AC Adapter is a little superfluous. Because the MPD32 is primarily a midi controller, I plug it directly into the Mac via USB and viola, we're off and running.

I am a happy owner of a Hercules DJ RMX but I recommend you search for newer devices wich have RGB LEDs for feedback, more buttons, etc. Look for something that have native integration with TRAKTOR, instead of Virtual DJ. Althout it can be used with both VDJ & Traktor, it is more focused on VDJ.

The device on it's own doesn't really do anything other than control Ableton Live software (it ships with the Lite version but to do anything serious, you'll need to upgrade to the full version). At minimum you will need a suitable PC or Mac computer. Since it is a MIDI controller, you could use it to control MIDI on other devices, but that's not really what it's designed for. I'd recommend you spend some time reviewing Ableton Live software and then decide if this is the right control surface for your needs.

I haven't seen a Maschine Mk1 at that price so I would check the details. If you're buying a Maschine new, then yes up to 1.8 should be free but you'll definitely have to pay for the upcoming 2.0 software. If you're buying a used Maschine then you need to verify that previous owner canceled their license from Native Instruments so that you can register the software and license.

Hello Fidan, The LP works with any software that supports MIDI such as FL Studio, Ignite, etc.But Ableton live is a really good program that you can program to work with other software at the same time for different commands and actions.Note: Some MIDI software will not turn on the lights of the pads.

Pinnacle has their own site that you might find answers to all your questions. There on the forums you will quickly find out whether it's a good to have or not. I understand their live support sucks... How's the software? I have studio 9 and need to upgrade NOW!!! Had a few problems in the past but it was sorted eventually? Do I want to go through it again?

Its a midi controller not a keyboard. The sounds you make depend on the DAW and synthesizers that you choose to use. Its a tool for music production not a standalone instrument. You can run it in ableton very easy and it comes with a download of ableton and a few synthesizers definitely worth the money if your looking to start learning music production.

I bought my Launchkey at the end of Feb. 2015, and the version of Ableton Live Lite was 9.1.7. You download from the Ableton site (you will have to set up an Ableton account), and the activation code is supplied by Novation. You can get either 32 or 64 bit.

It's easy to use if you've used other MIDI controllers with your DAW before. The biggest thing that you'll have to learn is about mapping the individual knobs, sliders, and buttons to your DAW if you're not using Ignite which comes with it. Also getting around the HyperControl can be tricky, but Google and YouTube are your friend for that situation.
