I've now been looking at Novation Launchpad S. Mainly as it seems a little more intuitive and apparently works well in FL11. The Padkontrol has more focus on pad sensitivity which is something I'm not as fussed about as I'll not be using it for playing individual drum sounds. I'll have to compare ...

If it does seem to do what I want it to do, i'll be using it alongside FL11, which has FPC (Fruity Pad control) which appears to be quite good. I can't seem to find much information or videos showing people triggering anything but one shots / drum sounds, thats what made me question it.

I have been looking at these for live performance, I want to be able to play a constant loop of a sample and then layer over the top vocal samples etc.

Is this possible or will I only be able to perform one shots?

Cheers for the reply, I've taken on board what you've said. After using the software for 3 weeks I'm still getting to grip with functions but will definitely work on loops when I know what I'm doing, I'm trying to take small bites of the apple to start with, producing is very new to me.

Check out my track 'Fear' not sure if it's the filth you're looking for.

I've been in an electro / indie / rock band for the last 13 years playing synth and keys, I've recently followed up a sideline in Dubstep and have made 3 tracks so far.

I'm steadily learning the ropes, but know I have a long way to go. I'm using FL Studio 11 and so far have about 3 weeks experience ...

I like it! What software are you using? I'm also new to the forum, check out my tracks, see what you think:
