Description
THIS APP DOES NOT PLAY AUDIO BECAUSE IT'S A MIDI CONTROLLER FOR ABLETON LIVE
Launch Buttons is a MIDI controller that lets you perform your tracks wherever you go. You don't need to carry your expensive gear; your phone/tablet is just about enough. Works with virtually any DAW after a very simple set up. Ableton + Launchpad 95 script is recommended.
This free version gives you access to all 64 buttons on the 8x8 grid, 8 scene launch buttons, 8 buttons to navigate and 7 buttons for transport controls. The Launchpad95 script gives you a step sequencer, scale mode, and many more functions.
The Apple Watch extension lets you access about one fifth of the Buttons. This means that you can use the app to control a 3x3 clip launchers, 3 scene launchers, and 4 arrow keys to navigate through your clips. It also can display some of the buttons used for step sequencing, good enough for a little stunt in a live set I'd say.
It includes the the "old" colors (red-orange-yellow-green) - if you want to upgrade, Launch Buttons Plus provides you with
- full color support (RGB)
- 16 more functions buttons (in addition to the 16 you already have)
- 16 freely assignable knobs
Have fun :)

Ratings and Reviews
See AllGreat once set-up but a bit inconsistent
Took me quite a while to get this hooking up to Ableton correctly. Had trouble getting it to receive midi notes even though I could see the notes arriving on my iPad in midi wrench. Eventually got it going and it’s really pretty good, certainly a big improvement over tea hung for the trackpad on my Mac all the time. Only issue I have is that sometimes the buttons don’t always respond correctly. For example I arm a track in mixer mode and the pad doesn’t light up so I can’t tell if it worked without checking the arm icon has lit up in Ableton. It’s free though so can’t complain. I’d probably upgrade to the paid version if these minor glitches were ironed out.
awful-read this review if u are thinking of getting this stupid app
I don’t care if there is no audio because of ‘midi controller’ or whatever that is, go on to any other launchpad app such as Super Pads or LaunchPad and guess what it’s free and it won’t chanter you anything but oh no not with this horrible app, it charges you about 25 pence/cents a minute, but the sound doesn’t even work! If this app sorts this out by not ‘buying cheap sounds’ as it says for itself as soon as you click on it. I’m sorry but this app needs a lot of improvement, don’t get this app because it will be charged every minute, I cannot think of any app that charges you money every minute you play, ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL AND DISAPPOINTING!!!
MIDIHub quite inconsistent, but this isn’t the full focus, app is so good!
I see all these reviews about the sound not working, just makes me laugh so much. A MIDI device is NOT supposed to play sound from it!
Also MIDIHub captures Discord every time I launch it, and when I restart it to capture Ableton live, it instead doesn’t work and doesn’t connect up my iPad.
When it does work though, my god it’s worth your time, the free version I’ve used is so low latency, plus I saw it doesn’t include the full colour range, therefore I’ve paid for the plus. I’d say worth it.
