LaunchPad MK2 colours vs BrainBud - Bud App Controller Usage & Stats
The LaunchPad MK2 has been a reliable tool for creative minds, standing the test of time. While newer versions have hit the market, we believe in using our devices responsibly, considering the environmental impact. That's why we continue to cherish and use our trusty LaunchPad MK2, which still serves its purpose faithfully.
However, we do acknowledge a limitation - the lack of support beyond the Novation software can be disappointing. But fear not, as we're on a mission to expand the horizons of loyal LaunchPad MK2 users.
Our journey led us to BeatMaker 3, our primary creative tool. Now, we're inspired to take things a step further. We've developed a unique tool that allows you to assign colors to the LaunchPad MK2's pads. This is dedicated version for iOS and iPadOS due to Safari's lack of WebMIDI interface support. Stay tuned for exciting updates and join us in exploring the endless possibilities of your LaunchPad MK2.
