Since version 8.0, Ardour has had extensive support for the Novation
|
|
|
|
|
Launchpad Pro Mk3, a relatively inexpensive grid/pad controller that
|
|
|
|
|
unlike some similar has its own internal capabilities in addition to
|
|
|
|
|
those provided by DAW interactions.

<h2>Connecting the Launchpad Pro</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Plug the USB cable from the Launchpad Pro into a USB2 or USB3 port on your
|
|
|
|
|
computer.

The Launchpad Pro will be automatically recognized by your operating
|
2023-10-09 10:03:33 -04:00
|
|
|
system, and will appear in any of the lists of possible MIDI ports
|
|
|
|
|
in both Ardour and other similar software.

Normally, Ardour should be able to automatically detect a connected
|
|
|
|
|
Launchpad Pro device. If it fails, open the Preferences dialog, and
|
|
|
|
|
then click on "Control Surfaces". Click on the "Enable" button in
|
|
|
|
|
the line that says "Launchpad Pro" in order to activate Ardour's
|
|
|
|
|
Launchpad Pro support.

|
|
|
|
Once you select the input and output port, Ardour will initialize
|
|
|
|
|
the Launchpad Pro and it will be ready to use. You only need do this
|
|
|
|
|
once: once these ports are connected and your session has been
|
|
|
|
|
saved, the connections will be made automatically in this and other
|
|
|
|
|
future sessions.
