    Default external hardware midi only drum sequencer for ableton live 9 drum racks?

    I play live with my traktor deck audio routed into ableton (so all audio is in ableton)

    at the moment I have a drum rack set-up, but can only play midi sequences that I have pre-programmed

    what I would like to do is control the drum rack in a step sequencer way to allow on the fly live play, and changes to the playing sequence.

    I have an original launchpad and it is used to trigger idents and the pre-programmed midi drum sequence clips.

    is there any hardware available to just function as a drum step sequencer?

    Can't you just remap the Launchpad to be a sequencer?

    found the nordbeat app on iOS does what I want.

    and the drum rack in ableton containing the samples.

    I do have max for live, and I searched step sequencers and drum sequencers, drum machine etc...

    will look at "monome" then.

    The MIDI Fighter Twister may have the controls that you want. Starting about 4:45 in the video, the step sequencer mode is shown.
