Launchpad Arcade is a place where you can get straight into making music with Launchpad's familiar clip-based user interface. You can perform tracks from an extensive loop library, and you can even design and play lightshows, too — if you already have a Launchpad device. Launchpad Arcade works inside the Google Chrome browser. All you need is a computer and an internet connection to get going.
Launchpad Arcade is ready for players at all levels. Whether you have zero music-making experience, or you're an intermediate or advanced user, the quick setup guide will fast-track you to the action.
We teamed up with Launchpad artist Kaskobi to release a pack which allows the user to play their performance of "Stay Here Forever" by Nytrix.
It's hard. But that's the point! It's a small detail, but we've labelled the lightshow packs as "easy", "medium" and "hard" to reflect their game-like aesthetic. The thinking is that people have no patience for fiddling with MIDI channels, but plenty of time for perfecting a performance.
If you want to take things further, you can download the Ableton sessions for each pack. Soon, you'll be able to customise the lights to make your own unique performances.
Imagine a world where you can upload a track, create lights and perform it yourself in Launch Arcade, without even needing to install Live.
