140Control Surfaces Support Guide
Novation Launchpad multi-device support in
Logic Pro
You can use multiple Launchpads in a single Control Surface Group to extend the number
of tracks or scenes, or you can create a new control surface group and use each Novation
Launchpad independently.
Extend scenes or tracks in an existing Control Surface
Group
You can extend the existing 64-pad (8x8) grid by increments of eight tracks or eight
scenes by simply attaching another Launchpad device. When you connect another
Launchpad, its icon appears to the right of the first one in the Setup window at Logic Pro
> Control Surfaces. The Live Loops Scene Offset parameter is automatically extended to
accommodate the additional Launchpad. The navigation arrows on any Launchpad device
shown there control navigation for similar devices in the Control Surface Group.
To change the scene or fader bank offsets, do the following:
• To extend the number of scenes: Change the Live Loops Scene Offset parameter. For
example, change Live Loops Scene Offset to 8 to show scenes 9 through 16.
• To extend the number of tracks: Change the Fader Bank Offset parameter. For example,
change Fader Bank Offset to 8 to show tracks 9 through 16.
Create a new Control Surface Group
You can also add a Launchpad device to a new Control Surface Group and use each device
independently. In the Setup window, arrange the Launchpad icons in separate rows—that
is, one above the other. This creates a second control surface group with its own set of
parameters (mode, fader bank, scene bank etc.). You can use the second Launchpad
independently from the first one.
Novation Launchpad buttons overview
In addition to the 64 trigger pads, each Launchpad model has several buttons you can use
to perform various other functions. Use the Scene buttons to trigger scenes in Session
mode. In Mixer mode, use them to access various mix parameters and perform other
functions.
Buttons available in all modes
• Navigation arrows:
• Up Arrow/Down Arrow buttons: Shifts the shown grid up or down by one track.
On the Launchpad Pro, hold the Shift button while using the Up Arrow/Down Arrow
buttons to shift the grid up or down by groups of eight.
• Left Arrow/Right Arrow: Shifts the shown grid left or right by one scene.
• Session: Return to Session mode from any other mode. On the Launchpad X and Mini
MK3 models, the Session button toggles between Session and Mixer mode.
