How To Open Launchpad Project Files - 'Media Files Missing' SOLVED

Рет қаралды 132,074

Күн бұрын

When you’ve downloaded a Launchpad project file from KZfaq, it’s possible to get a series of error messages that prevent you from using the project file how you intended to. These include ‘media files missing’, or can be the fact that the lights aren’t working in your light show.
Either way, it’s very frustrating! In this video, I’m going to take you through exactly how to configure your Launchpad to get up and running with these projects.
Check out www.melodics.com for some great lessons in finger drumming coordination.

The Launchpad S is great, it's an old one compared to the MKII though, which is why Novation don't sell the S anymore, but you may be able to find it online with a search. I would recommend the MKII.

Is this ALL still possible with ableton lite? I wan't to get the launchpad pro but i'm getting very conflicting opinions on whether you need to buy the full software or use the lite version that comes with the launchpad?

@TheAudioJourney 6 жыл бұрын

Good question - the short answer is no. Live Lite has track and scene limitations (only 8 of each), and use plug ins that are only available in higher versions of Live. You can get a free trial of Suite on Ableton's website here: www.ableton.com/en/trial/

Me again! How different are the mk1 generation launchpads to the mk2, mainly because they are cheaper I was wondering if the project files fare still compatible with the mk1 or whether I should just man up and buy a mk2 with ableton 9 live

Hey there! So I bought myself a new Launchpad the mk2 one because i wanted some improvement from my Launchpad Mini. So I plugged it in and I cant really play the Project I've put in (Virus - Martin Garrix). The problem is I cant change between the pages of the project, lights and sound work but not the pages... When I clicked on Midi in the top right corner there is not standing light show. Can you please help me I dont know what to do? :)

Hello! I am trying to work on the hello cover that you did in your tutorial, as the first launchpad cover ever, since I got the Launchpad yesterday. I am using Ableton Live 9 Lite, and working on a MKII. I am trying to connect lights, and make the audio work correctly. I followed your tutorial completely, and went back over to make sure I was right. I still have only one button that will make any kind of sound (and it isn't even the right track for the file) and no lights show up at all. What am I doing wrong?

Hi there, you shouldn't be getting that issue as long as the samples are in the right folder. You can also do a manual search and select the folder of samples. if that fails, redownload the file and put it straight into your 'Launchpad Projects' folder.
