My son saw a million videos on youtube and wanted one of these for his birthday. He rarely wants anything and is hard to find gifts for at Christmas and his Birthday. So... I was excited that he actually had something he was interested in.
Unfortunately, this was also about the same time as he discovered Fortnite. The Novation Launchpad MK2 Ableton Live Controller has seen very little use as a result. So I cannot find anything bad to say about the Launchpad, it works great. And it looks like I will eventually be selling a "like new" Launchpad one day.
I will say, based on the youtube videos that convinced us to buy this thing, that it is the epitome of reasonably priced controllers. It works very well with the Ableton software that is the standard for this kind of device.
I would recommend that if you get one of these, watch the numerous youtube videos beforehand and AFTER you buy it too. They are much more helpful than the provided instructions. A youtube video will get you up and running in no time at all. If you can convince them to put down the Fortnite gaming controller long enough to play with it. :-(

A must for Logic’s live loops
Loving this with Apple Logic’s live loops. Adds so much. Rotating it a quarter turn is a little weird but who cares?

First time buyer. I'm 16 I had no prior knowledge with Launchpads or any type of Midi controllers apon ordering this launchpad. Took a little bit to set up, I suggest looking up a few tutorials of you need help setting it up. Ableton lite was easy to set up and a very fast download. I have also used my MKll with my Galaxy Tab A using an adapter from micro USB to USB. Works like a charm, everything arrived earlier then expected and was packaged neatly. Would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to get into Midi controllers.
