In this video, I try out two new Launchpads which were released earlier this season: the Launchpad X and the Launchpad Mini MK3.
As composers go, I'm something of a rarity in that I don't actually know how to play the piano: In fact, most of my MIDI composition is actually done using a Launchpad grid controller, so I was extremely excited when I heard they were releasing a new model that featured velocity sensitivity & MIDI scale mode.

By the way, the software I wrote that brings scale mode to Launchpads that don't have it built-in is called GridInstrument. You can find the Mac version here: apps.apple.com/us/app/gridinstrument/id1455790246?mt=12
You can find the iOS version here: apps.apple.com/us/app/gridinstrument/id1296511558
