What do you think of my launchpad?

[dodge]

Not finished yet, still gonna build a strip of dials to attach to the top for FX. Was thinking about taking the whole thing apart, spraying black with a white stripe or white with a red stripe. Gonna redo the button decals cos i can see the ones I used falling off after a night, need something a little more industrial. If anyone knows of any really sticky double sided tape please let me know.

Took the words out of my mouth

I'd stand in front of that after a couple of carlsberg's and my brain would implode lol :P Amazing.

i sold it as for some reason i just can't get comfortable in ableton and with the money from that and a couple other non-used music things i was able to pick up a used sl-1 (serato) box.

they are doing some awesome things with it in renoise now too (check create digital music for vid)

I'm mentioning this stuff since you asked, I don't want to take this thread off topic on the merits of the launchpad cause your idea here is cool with the decals on the pads and that's what we should be discussing...

let see a video!

I'm using this with Traktor, hence the picture of the turntable so that I can switch from internal to timecode. It's all set up so that I never have to touch the laptop (apart from when Im searching for a particular track).

What do you think tho... white with a red stripe, or black with a white stripe? I'm talking about the cross that separates the 4 decks visually

Ok, I thought there might have been some problems with the device itself. Haven't heard anything of it's durability yet.

Nice looking layout dodge. Can you or do you have to use Automap in Traktor?

[dodge]

Nah, don't use automap, I just installed the drivers and away I went, haven't even seen any automap page. There's a whole post in the mappings forum about this, that's where I got the idea for the layout.

It's pretty durable. Nice tough plastic, pads are made of the same stuff the trigger pads are made of just a bit smaller, wide rubber pads on the base. If it was dropped it will more then likely survive. It's all good.

black with white glow stripe maybe?

I figured it was with traktor, if i had mine still i would do a similar setup with serato, i might squeeze bomes in between so i could make some more advanced midi settings.

any plans for the other modes of the LP? forgot what's its called, the drum rack part in ableton...
