Reaktor + Launchpad

I’ve been working on a reaktor ensemble that will interface with the Novation Launchpad, and allow me to use it as a sequencer without buying Max for Live.

I have a working rudimentary drum sequencer that you can download below. It will not yet work properly in Live because I need to make the proper note/button mappings for User1 mode. It will work in reaktor standalone or in something like Kore (to control other plugins).

Here’s a simple demonstration video:

Nice effort there. LED feedback would be awesome. Definite potential.

hey thanks! what LED feedback do you mean? in my interpretation, there already is some feedback..

Ah ok. Maybe I didn’t have the LP in the right mode but when I pushed a LP button, the button wouldn’t light up but it did in the ens.

make sure the midi in and out for the launchpad seq instrument are set to your launchpad..
are you trying this in reaktor standalone?
also, out of curiosity, what platform are you on? i’ve noticed some midi+CPU weirdness in XP, but on the mac it works great. i’m interested to get your feedback!

i should clarify, it does work as demonstrated in XP, it’s just a little ugly if you hit a bunch of buttons at once
