+ +

+ Once you select the input and output port, the Launch Control XL 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. +

+ +

Behavior and Configuration

Therefore, For Ardour, only a subset of features is available out of + the box. The vast majority of supported features are not configurable, the + user interface exposes only one setting: making the 8th fader control the + master bus. +

+ +

+ Features supported out of the box are: +
