Use a Novation Launchpad in Session mode with Logic Pro
In Session mode you can trigger cells and scenes, represented by the 64 pads and scene buttons, and perform basic editing and arranging functions. Tap the navigation arrows to shift the grid left or right, or up and down.
Tap a pad to trigger the cell it represents. Cells in Momentary Play mode play when you press and hold the pad and stop when you let go.
The eight Scene buttons under the pads trigger the scene they represent. The Scene button reflects the state of the cell by flashing, pulsing or changing color.
Control surface bars to the left of the track headers and under the scene triggers in Logic Pro indicate the track and scene range that you control with the Launchpad device. You can change the color of the control surface bars in the Device inspector at Logic Pro > Control Surfaces > Setup.
For all Launchpad devices, an unlit pad indicates an empty cell. However, the color of the pads for different states depend on the model of the Launchpad device:
Launchpad, Launchpad S, Launchpad Mini:
Flashing green: Triggered (about to play) or stopping
Flashing red: Counting in (about to record)
Green: Playing
Red: Recording
Amber: Stopped.
Launchpad MK2, Launchpad Pro, Launchpad X, Launchpad Mini MK3
Flashing green: Triggered (about to play) or stopping
Flashing red: Counting in (about to record)
Pulsing green: Playing
Pulsing red: Recording
White: Selected
Other color: Color of the cell in Live Loops grid
Enable Session mode
Press the Session button on the right side of the Launchpad device.
On the Launchpad X and Launchpad Mini MK3 models, the Session button switches the Session and Mixer modes.
Select cells
On the Launchpad Pro, press and hold the Session button, then tap one or more pads to select them.
