Novation LaunchControl


#1

Hi guys, I just received my Axoloti and have been plauying around with it. I'm trying to connect my Novation Launch control to it but it get the following error message in the console:
No available USB device found with matching PID/VID

Does anyone have an idea if it's even possible to get the Novation LaunchControl working with Axoloti?

Correction. It is actually working. Didn't realize the order to connect up everything it important.
First connect the Axoloti and make it talk with the console, then connect the LaunchControl. Works like a charm!

What kind of interaction can you get out of it?
any ideas for an abstraction patch for the launchpad specifically so it's easy to patch up?
can you specify what type of launchpad you have? Should it work with other pads as well?
I'm considering getting one for this, sorry for all the questions smile

btw if it works, confirm it here

@DigitalStains, just to confirm...
Connecting the Axoloti board to a computer is completely independent from using a midi controller attached to the host port. if you wish to use Axoloti 'standalone' you will need to upload the patch to SDRAM or SDCard (and run on startup)

(I mention this, as you PID/VID warning, is from not having Axoloti powered up to the UI, and is just saying the UI cannot talk to the board, handly surprising if its not turned on wink)

@kaos Just to be clear I'm talking about the LaunchControl (the controller with 16 rotaries). I am able to assign knobs to wherever I want and also use the pad to play notes. Very easy smile

@thetechnobear The first time I connected the LaunchControl to the Axoloti I had no connection with the pc yet. Then when I connected the Axoloti it gave me the error message. Once I disconnected everything and first connect the Axoloti with pc and then the LaunchControl it working.
But you are right, for standalone use you need to upload the patch.
