To set the LaunchControl XL up as a HUI control surface in Logic, navigate to ‘Logic’ > ‘Control Surfaces’ > ‘Setup’. Note: The ‘LaunchControl XL HUI’ port may show as ‘MIDIIN2’/’MIDIOUT2’ or something similar on Windows. Now, in the ‘Mackie HUI’ tab, set the input and output port to ‘LaunchControl XL HUI’ as shown below: Ensure your ports are set as shown below, the ‘LaunchControl XL HUI’ port MUST NOT have ‘in ‘all MIDI ins’’ enabled:Ĭlick the small ‘+’ icon in Cubase ‘Device setup’ window and select ‘Mackie HUI’. To set the LaunchControl XL up as a HUI control surface in Cubase, navigate to ‘Devices’ > ‘Device Setup’ > ‘MIDI port setup’. Once this is done, the Launch Control XL should show the two MIDI ports. If you only see one MIDI port, select ‘Configuration’ > ‘New Configuration’ and name the new configuration ‘HUI’. If using a Mac, please open the ‘Audio MIDI Setup’ application on your Mac, select ‘Window’ > ‘Show MIDI Studio’ and in the ‘MIDI Studio’ window, ensure the Launch Control XL is showing two MIDI ports - ‘Launch Control XL’ and ‘HUI’ as shown below:

#LAUNCHCONTROL XXL UPDATE#

Once you’ve installed the firmware update please disconnect and reconnect the Launch Control XL from your computer.

#LAUNCHCONTROL XXL INSTALL#

To install this, all you need to do is download the appropriate installer for your operating system, connect your LaunchControl to your computer via USB, run the firmware updater and follow the on-screen instructions. This is available from the Launch Control XL downloads page. To use your LaunchControl XL as a HUI control surface, you need to install the latest firmware version.

You will need to do this when you first load a session, when you bank tracks (9-16, 17-24 etc.), or when you change from pan to send a, send b etc. To correct this you may need to turn the control from one end to the other in order to reset the range. This is great if you want to make a small adjustment but you may find you hit the end of the pot’s physical travel before the virtual control on-screen. The pan and send controls don’t have pot pick-up, they move immediately from whatever position they are in. In order to make these work we ‘emulate’ the operation of the encoders in firmware. The Launch Control XL has pots rather than encoders which have an absolute position. HUI is designed to work with encoders for pan and send controls. The controls still work relatively to turn pans left and right.

#LAUNCHCONTROL XXL PRO#

*Due to the Pro Tools HUI implementation, the centre detent of the LaunchControl XL pan pots will not directly correspond to the centre position of Pro Tool’s pan pots. I think I will look at setting up my launchpad with this too, at the moment it is dedicated to controlling Iverson Jr but this could make it much more powerful.LaunchControl XL now features HUI integration, which means you can use it to control the Mixer in Cubase, Logic or Pro Tools*. Please let me know if you use this with your controller, I have been looking at getting that one but was holding off for exactly the reasons mentioned.

#LAUNCHCONTROL XXL MANUAL#

Just had a quick look now and it looks like midizap can do it potentially, the manual mentions a shift state so this could be a solution? I occassionally see individuals who have created some kind of script of course it is for their use and not easily transferable to other uses/controllers. I used to use Arsenal in Live and that also uses extensive shift functionality to provide a huge amount of control but I don’t think there is anything like this in Linux (or even generally outside of Live?). I would love to find a solution to this as well. That seems to be solely for ableton and not usable outside of that program (the controller scripts that Live uses are specific to it’s API). This would save a huge amount of space on my desktop and enable me to buy christmas presents for my kids. Would work for “Solo” and “Track Control 7” also Press “Mute” and “Track Control 2” and track 2 is muted. Or think about using the “Mute” and “Solo” buttons in a Mixer. I press DOWN and the channel changes back to 1. The workflow should be like this: Fader 1 sends CC #1 on channel 2.

I could save different user presets in the editor and change them, but this would not completely work. Maybe there’s module or (simple) technique to aquire this in Rack. I found no way to set this up in the Launchcontrol Editor, but I could be wrong there. I’m looking for a way to use the arrow buttons on the Launchcontol as shift buttons, so I could change the offset of the CCs or channels sent by the faders and knobs from the Launchcontrol to Rack.

#LAUNCHCONTROL XXL WINDOWS#

As I left the convenient windows path and walk along the rough linux roads, along the path I changed my AKAI Fire into a very nice Launchcontrol XL, which does the job great, but I run out of knobs and faders and buttons pretty fast.
