+ Novation Launch Control XL is a compact control surface with 8 faders, + 24 encoders, and various keys like track selection, muting, soloing, + and arming a track for recording. +
+ + + ++ Plug the USB cable from the Launch Control XL into a USB2 or USB3 port on + your computer. The device will be automatically recognized by your operating + system and will appear in any of the lists of possible MIDI ports in Ardour. +
+ ++ To connect the Launch Control XL to Ardour, open the + Preferences dialog, and then click + Control Surfaces. Tick the Enable + checkbox opposite to "Novation Launch Control XL" to activate Ardour's Launch + Control XL support. +
+ ++ Once the device is activated, click Show Protocol Settings and in + the newly opened window select the device in the drop-down lists for incoming + and outgoing MIDI events. +
+ ++ 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. +
+ ++ The Launch Control XL was designed for use with Ableton Live, so it has a Mix + mode for controlling the mixer and a Device mode for controlling various + devices. 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: +
