If you cannot afford a controller for your production setup, then you probably need to reexamine your priorities when it comes to making music.  Perhaps you spent too much money on an awesome monitor to view your session mode in Ableton, and now you are forced to activate each sample using the dreaded keyboard.  Well, fear not – there is always a cheap way to control and produce your music, and it starts by owning an iPad.  The iPad is a big investment no matter how you justify it, but when you consider the type of hardware and desktop software that you can own for a fraction of the price, the cost may be worth it in the long run. [embed width="656"]http://youtu.be/o_Tt17Zl6co[/embed] The Novation Launchpad is perhaps one of the best deals that can be had for any producer looking for a controller.  As it is built for Ableton, the workflow should be instantly recognizable, and the cost of it is more than justified.  Novation has recently created a new app called the Launchpad for iPad, but it is much more than the software version of the hardware controller – it actually contains some of the functionality of Ableton, meaning you won’t need a separate computer to use it.  http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2013/03/01/launchpad-for-ipad-review-demo

The Novation Launchpad is still one of the best selling and most sought after live production controllers.  There are few things that make it less of a contender than its competition.  It is light, portable, and cheap.  It is meant to mimic the layout inside Ableton, and it also frees the performer from having to find keyboard keys in the middle of the dark.  Before the Launchpad was a success, the idea had been floating around that producers wanted something better than a MIDI keyboard to trigger their cues.  Other devices like the MPC by Akai came close to settling the dispute, but for what it was worth – it was still better suited as a live drum machine. Ableton’s Push is the supped up version of a simple MIDI controller, and it offers more control – but it also comes at a very steep price.  Beginners are less likely to drop that kind of money on something that is meant to be beat up.  Now that the iOS has become a stable platform for live production, pairing the Launchpad with a digital app version of it only makes sense; and since they are designed to work together it is actually quite easy to use well. http://www.djtechtools.com/2013/08/22/review-novation-launchpad-and-launchkey-ipad-apps-with-hardware-integration/
