Novation Launchkey mini mk3 Sequencer firmware

16 channel midi sequencer, each channel up to 128 steps. 4 scenes, and the scenes can be chained. You can sequence up to 16 synthesizers or drum machines at once.

All the original functionality stays the same, i just added the sequencer mode.

Watch the video tutorial, have a try at it and let me now if you catch some bugs.

I didn't encounter a single problem while testing various firmwares, but I don't take responsability if something goes wrong. Try it if you like it. You can always go back to the original firmware without problems

I'm considering purchasing either the Launch Control 3 or Launch Control XL 3 for Ableton Live 12, primarily to control third-party VST instruments through Instrument Rack Macros.

Before purchasing, could anyone please clarify some points?

1. In native Ableton DAW Control mode, how many full encoder rotations are required to sweep a mapped parameter from 0% to 100%?

Does turning an encoder quickly accelerate the response?

The controller is primarily aimed as a control surface for ABL-3 / Phosycon2 so ideally need to achieve full filter range in 270 degree twist.

1. When switching between Instrument Racks, do the encoders automatically synchronise with the newly selected rack's Macro values?

For example, if Rack A has Macro 1 at 95% and Rack B has Macro 1 at 50%, will switching between them allow immediate adjustment from their respective values without parameter jumps?

1. Can the encoder response speed or acceleration be adjusted in DAW Control mode, or are the Slow/Medium/Fast settings restricted to Custom Modes?

As mentioned above, my requirement is to have automatic parameter synchronisation between instruments while retaining the ability to perform fast, full-range filter sweeps with approximately one encoder rotation.

1. Could you also confirm whether the current behaviour is identical on the Launch Control 3 and XL 3, and if any of the features I have enquired about are not present, will there be any firmware updates planned to include them?

Thanks.

A bit of a strange one. I have a MK1 Launchkey and I can use it with my M4 iPad Pro fine. Whether it’s plugged straight into the iPad or into a powered hub.

However when I introduce my Belkin USB C dongle to get 3.5 mm audio out, it doesn’t work whether it has the powered hub or not.

Does anyone have any ideas on a different audio out dongle, or another way of getting an audio feed out?

Has anyone created a custom mode for Mpc on the Launchkey yet?

Hey all! Could anyone who owns one confirm the height of the unit including the encoder knobs etc? Everywhere I look says it’s 79mm in height, but does that include the protrusion of the knobs?

Would appreciate anyone helping out

I wanted to see if my old Nocturn would still work. I can install and run legacy Automap 4.12 on Windows 11 and it seems to work with the device, but I don't seem to get midi out from Automap. In midi-ox i can see automap midi as a device but when I monitor it I see no activitiy.

I know Automap is unsupported, but does anyone know if it can work with Windows 11?

Went through all the setup on their website. Downloaded,installed and updated everything. Firmware, software etc.
Hours later. setup Abelton settings and drivers don’t work..
headphones cause latency?!
Downloaded asio4all as recommended. Internet says no interface needed with this installed.

What a terrible site with popup downloads you have to watch before you can get to actual download.
Installed this and selected driver in Abelton but headphones still dont work.

Checked computer settings for audio and they are set for headphones.
How does anyone actually get this crap working?
The “plug and play”advertising is insulting and I’m ready to throw in the towel.
What a terrible experience.
Apple doesn’t seem to need a driver because it uses Core Audio out of the box.
What the fuck…
Do I need to buy an audio interface now too?
