Please add feature that exports separate stems. Ok, it’s a great app, can’t really argue with how much it does for free, but I would gladly pay for all the iap features like I did for Blocs Wave and Groovebox, if Lauchpad could export the performances to separate audio files for each track, so I can mix it in a Daw either on my IPad or MacBook Pro to polish it and get it sounding as good as possible. I know this app isn’t really aimed at pro users as far a audio production goes but exporting stem would attract more users, and also the same level of interaction with Groovebox that exist with Blocs Wave would be great. I would love to simply import my projects from Groovebox, or send them from Groovebox to Launchpad, either way would be great.

Love the App (minor suggestions). I've been using Launchpad for years and it's become my secret weapon. So much that I hardly tell people I'm using it to make full tracks. However, my only wish is that some time in the nearest future it becomes possible to edit each pad. Things like being able to switch the note of an individual melody or drum, or even the tempo of some of the instruments. I think this fine tuning capability would really kick Launchpad up another notch. Will continue to use Launchpad regardless but as a person without full access to a DAW setup and program, I'd love to be able to get as close as possible in the meantime. Keep it up!!!

Update fixed export bug from Blocs Wave. Great fix, adjusting to the new layout but all in all this is easily one of the best initially free apps for sketching out sound/song ideas. The in app purchases are typically a good buy and you can preview much of the sounds in the packs. The effects are very good, some are brilliantly realized. I applaud Novation and Ampify for creating such a deep, immersive app for everyone.....Free! The response to my inquiry into a bug with the update was addressed very quickly and within a a few days they had fixed the bug, so kudos to the app support team for their acknowledgement of the bug and their response time! Indispensable as a tool in my studio and the audio import feature is beautifully streamlined, useful and awesome! Great job!

Something very wrong. I am having a hell of a time getting the app to load at all. I select it and try to open only to have it go to the icon over and over. it just won't open and after many tries it works. Only to have it not open next time I visit the app. I think this all started after an the most current update and/or after buying the new flanger fx. I don't want to rate it down because I love this app and use it all the time but right now something is very wrong. Same problem for me as soon as I loaded latest update. App won’t open on iPad or iPhone

Great app but missing export features (Ableton). Update: love the new update but missing a “pro” version. Honestly love the look and feel of the new app and love how it works with blockswave & Groovebox. I just wish there was a “pro” version where you could dive a little deeper into midi editing or song arrangement / recoding. Please do this. Great app and even better along with the other notation apps, which are total gems! Deducted one star because it seems to have very limited export options, don’t see an Ableton export option. Would love to see a few more pro features like that added, but it’s def a keeper in the iPad arsenal.

Great sound pack(s) meh effects. Overall Some cool sounds, but really too simple and the effects are just some Gates and loops. Great for playing around with I guess not much else. However the free cataclysm sound pack was pretty awesome, most apps like this don’t go as hard as that did. Felt like I was making a Soundtrack for the game doom or something. That alone was worth the download and 3 stars. Some of the features that they are charging for should probably be free if they want people to invest in a sound pack. Was hoping for some kind of integration with GarageBand or fruity loops but I guess it only does ableton live apps? This is so basic that if your using ableton live I don’t see the need for it.

Great app good job. This app is the closest thing most people have to an actual launchpad brilliant job though i have a suggestion since this app ties into blocs wave could you add a feature to blocs wave where you can copy actual launchpad projects made by people like MDK or KASKOBI into blocs wave so people who don’t have enough money to buy a launchpad or the equipment to import the sounds they used can play the projects they have created gonna say once again great job novation hope it’s possible to add the feature that I mentioned keep up the good work

I love this game but I have some update ideas. Hello I have some update ideas. These really don’t matter I think but who knows if you read this or not. So really about the music packs I have Idea for it when you get it so I feel like me and some people would like it if it would tell us what sounds you used like what we heard in the sound pack. And my last idea for the lines. So here it is could we titles ares like work music and others and like there is a alert 🚨 if it notices we are changing it and like there is answers like go on or leave it the same cause one time I changed my that was my relaxing to hard time rock. So those are my ideas thanks for listening If you are reading this

Total Rubbish!. I purchased the “audio import” feature thinking it would do what it claims – I was sorely mistaken. The app continually locks up when trying to import any of my sounds which essentially makes it useless. It’s also very disappointing that upon submitting a support ticket to Novation I only receive a canned response with irrelevant faq links two days later. Apparently I’ll have to contact Apple in order to get the money back I paid for this complete piece of crap! EDIT: In regards to the developer response; It was too much trouble going through all the hoops and confusing support process so Apple refunded my money. Honestly I don’t like apps with fake reviews and inflated five star ratings. Judging by the real ones this app would barely be 3/5. Maybe instead of paying for bogus reviews work on the product that customers are deceived into paying for and not getting.

Favorite Dj App. Keep it up LAUNCHPAD I truly love this app. I use it almost every day and it has calmed many of my storms. I recommend it to anyone wanting to learn edm mixing at your own speed. It is intuitive and easy to use. I am getting pretty good and may end up using my mixes for open mic nights here locally. I love the electro mind bending sounds and overall the whole experience. This app is very intuitive and easy to use. I love it personally and have been using it and watching it evolve over the last 7 years. I cant wait for more sound packs to upload on the server because new sounds make me smile! Thank you LaunchPad and the makers of this application, it has truly sparked my dream to pursue music and a career in that department. Much love! I am excited to see what else you produce, maybe some collaboration with mainstream dubstep and bass artists. More premium sound packs per month I love love love this app! More sound flangers pleaaase!!!

The Most Amazing App Ever....Until it crashes. Launchpad is a very important part of my production workflow but the crashing during recording is starting to frustrate me. I have a high end 2 gen iPad Pro 12.9”. I can handle multiple hardcore apps at the same time with no issue but Launchpad crashes every other session while recording. I have lost multiple perfect sessions due to this. You all need to do one of two things, preferably both. Add a saving option so you can come back to the same point in your project or, better yet, add a timeline that we can record directly to with a save option. And before anyone yells at me about how “that’s not the point of Launchpad”, why not. I love this app, please fix this. One more thing, the entire app does not crash, just sound output. Once it crashes the app is still running but sound is no longer present. Meters move, everything works, just no sound and that is where the recording ends.

Love it but please consider these features. Like the title says, I love this app so much. The only thing I want to see is the ability to edit after a track is recorded, adjusting levels/adding effects and whatnot. Also… PLEASE add a pause button. I have so many distractions in my day to day and sometimes don’t have a full song length before getting interrupted but would love to be able to pause. *back to the after editing part — I like to just feel it out but occasionally you’ll be into a mix and mess up a little part. It’d be great to be able to correct those for recordings. Even without the changes… love this app

Has Everything. I’ve been looking for an app like this forever that is legit and worth the premium price, heck I loved the free version and after just a few hours of using it I wanted to expand to other genres and these full songs are absolutely incredible, has given me such a valuable songwriting tool, I will recommend to my musician friends who can’t always have a full band around when they want to write, awesome app guys or gals keep up the good work !! Signed, a very happy John C from Kentucky

Very Super Cool. I love this music board apps and I like all music beats and all the music buttons are totally super cool and very Awesome looking and like how you can mix the music up with different music beats and different drumming music beats and I totally like all the colored graphics and also all the other music sounds and the different music voices and different drumming music beats and I like and enjoy the whole music board apps and I hope you guys and your company can create and make more music boards for the musical professionals that are out there making and creating more music

Still blown away…..!. I’m a semi-professional musician with a music degree and a studio room with a full DAW, etc. I started using Launchpad a couple of years ago as a way to unwind and import Splice loops, and avoid the hassle of booting everything up in my music room. I’m STILL blown away by the ease of this app and decided it was time to mention it in a review! Everything is top notch in this app, and the algorithms to transpose and change tempo on loops is unsurpassed. The app is powerful, smooth, easy to use, and well supported. SO much fun! Small ask: ability to duplicate a current song? I like to use similar loops when I’m experimenting, and would be nice to start from a familiar template of loops in my library. Large ask: I know it’s been mentioned, but would be nice to have a sequencer to use drum hits. I appreciate though that this app isn’t supposed to be a literal DAW though and has to draw the line somewhere. Thanks!!

Best Music App in Store Hands Down!. I really don’t know why this app isn’t #1 on the Apple store. Loops that can be altered and moved onto another sound loop with key adjusting and recording with publishing is definitely worth the download trust me and everyone else on this! I’ve ran into ZERO bugs and and created amazing songs that I jam out to! All the sounds in every pack comes with something unique and I love it. I love how you can mash sounds together in different sounds and slap some reverb on it too! You also have the option to input your own audio! Comes with a small price but it’s totally worth it! You have my 5 star review and now go write yours!!!

The app to change my life. I’ve written a great many things about this application and I wish I could remember the words and the feelings and share them with you because of my journey in my hardships I have not been able to be right minded enough to skillfully assess my life moment to moment as a normal person will have liked to but I am not a normal person I am not just a person as I’ve said I’m not just a junkie in fact I’m not a junkie I am a human being with emotions thoughts a mother a father children and I have and I have just like any other person have made some fortunate and other less than fortunate decisions in my life I recommend this application to download for anybody they can afford to put down whatever it is they’re doing and give the effort into doing something with emotions long enough to share this joy and loving life with musicWith everyone that you know who loves music you can be a joy no matter how much you think that you’re not or not able to be a joy to yourself you can at least see the people around you dance even though you think that they can’t be in that kind of mindset towards you you know that you can make some people smile who otherwise would not have

WHY?! Loved launchpad used it all the time-BUT- Hate new version. You guys had a great thing and then you had to go and mess jt up! The new interphase blows, you are taking the ability to customize away! Are you trying to move to a more game oriented app? I used this app all the time when not in studio, with live. You ruined a good thing- very disappointed. Why is there no way to go to the old user layout? Why cant I set up my grid how I want to easily anymore. Who's great idea was this. The app was so intuitive, easy to use, with depth and flexibility. So sad novation. You guys make great hardware. Amplify you guys s ck.

I might now know what to be when I grow up!. I. LOVE. this. Game!!!!!!!!! So I’m young and all my life I wondered what to be when I grew up, like most kids my age, I never tried being D. J but i got this game today because my friend told me about it and I am obsessed I have so many recordings. I forgot to charge my headphones so it kinda annoys my dad because he’s working at home now so like, yeah. But I like it and my dad doesn’t complain because he knows I’m having a good time trying out knew rythems. Bye music class! Hello D.J’s. AND ALL THE PARENTS OUT THERE SAYING “ BEING A DJ IS A WASTE. GET A REAL JOB!” JUST HE HAPPY YOUR KIDS ARE HAPPY AND WEALTHY AND NOT DRUG DEALERS!!!!!!!!!!!! Please no one be a drug dealer. I’m over reacting again. Just great game!

Love it but. I love this app. I am not a successful producer, at all, but this app is awesome. The loops and synths are great. I only would like it if you made it free to import sounds. I work with GarageBand to make some of my songs, and I would love to be able to import things I’ve made. I understand you have to make money somehow, but just giving you some feedback. Otherwise, great music app. I’ve made 2 songs using this, and from peoples responses to them, they’re way better than my GarageBand songs, so you beat apple, and that’s an achievement! 👍

Launch ur sound. This is by far one of the best apps I have come across and is the first music app I have found that fits me. I'm not a cheap person but I would not of purchased anything from an app until I found launchpad, thank you all who put this together I can't wait to see what your next mods will be. One suggestion we'll more fin a hopeful question, a touchpad box for the effects so that your moving inside the box changes the x and y parimter and one or multi tap on a section to hold/release/ set depth or speed.? That would rock as an all in one app with featuring basically a split screen chaos pad,

Love the app! However it comes at a price, literally. I’ve been on this app for a while now and made some music with it. However it’s limited to a couple of sound packs when you start off. Yes, there are free packs in the store, but there are only three currently as of writing this review. In my opinion I think in order to enjoy this app fully you have to purchase sound packs or additional add-ons. However this issue can be resolved by having free sound packs every month or so because 1. Some people on this app are young and probably don’t have any iTunes or money to spend on this app. 2. It’ll be cool for people who make music regularly and may want to spice things up with a new and free sound pack. Other than that, I love this app!

Wonderful!. This app is amazing! It’s fun, easy to use, and has a multitude of sound packs for users to purchase; many of which I have bought myself. Now, I recently got an iPad and re-downloaded the app and previously purchased sound packs, everything working smoothly. Then comes my one and only issue with this app. There is no way to transfer previously made songs to new devices. In my opinion, an email account system would be nice to allow the transfer of all app data, including songs, to new devices. Other than that, I have absolutely no issues with this fantastic launchpad app, which has allowed me and many others to explore the magic of music! 🎶

All Novation apps are ill.... ...and I can't wait to try out your hardware next. Shot out to Dibia$e. I really only have one request: Please, (please, please), allow all of 'em, esp. Launchpad & Blocs Wave, to sync projects across all my iOS devices, (via wifi, bluetooth, LTE whatever)—in the background. Spending gobs of time setting up my joints on my iPhone while running around the city... and then having it all show up on my iPad when I perform that night, would be theeeee' killer feature. Better than the next 10 sound packs combined ;) Thanks Novation.. now back to the beats! PS. A Launchpad trigger system for stage vocalist on the Apple Watch would be crazy ✨🔓👀

BEST GAME EVER!!!!!. I’m able to make so many different beats!!!! It’s awesome because you press something at the top and you could change the beats! I am so grateful for this game❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this is the most awesome music game ever I was like mom you you like this game don’t you? And she said “this is no game this is a DJ app!” My mom likes this up too I was searching for music games I am obsessed with music all of the music apps were stupid but this game😱😱😱😱😱😱❤️❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎👑👑👑 oh my goodness I make the craziest beats ever thank you so much for this game. I gave this game five stars even though I should give it 10 stars but it doesn’t give me the option to do that that’s how much I love this game launchpad is the best DJ app ever!!!!! This game should be famous! Super duper famous pls make more awesome music games like this I was just on your DJ app! Again thank you so much for this DJ app

Amazing but a few suggestions…. With launch pad you only get 1 kit if you don’t want to spend money, with a lot of apps they make it trashy so you spend money but not launch pad. The kit that they give you is very good, it has many options that you can use. Although the kit is good it’s not good enough to produce music. I got this originally to play around with but there’s not every instrument. In the first kit you get it has about 2-4 sound effects, maybe 4 instruments total. Bass, drums, something, something. I would recommend this to play around with for fun but not to produce music. But I guess this is what you get for a free app.

Cornerstone. First, thanks to the developers and loop makers, you make a composers life so much easier. It is easy to not only generate ideas, but build compositions that are deep and theatrical. Second, my biggest wish is for more environmental and subtle orchestral loops. Other than that, you will not find a better or more versatile loop music creation app anywhere. The ability to move loops between sets you have onboard or have created (yup...you can do that) means I can customize any set anytime. I have scored both TV shows and movies with this app and it constantly exceeds my expectations as a creator, composer, and musician. Build off this app with a decent keyboard, guitar, or other instruments and you will be amazed at what you can accomplish in production.

Fantastic app but.... Unless I’m missing something, there’s still no way to move projects between different iOS devices. In other words, there’s no way to start working on my iPhone and then pick up on my iPad. This app desperately needs iCloud syncing. I can bounce a project from Wave to Launchpad but somehow can’t go from Launchpad to Launchpad. Also, the store navigation experiences are completely different among Launchpad, Wave, and Groovebox. Things like the menu and store should be unified across all three apps. Also, there needs to be integration between Groovebox and Launchpad and Wave. Currently, my work is siloed in Groovebox. Lastly, for playing back recordings in Launchpad, it desperately needs background audio playback and precise standardized playback controls - pause, fast forward, rewind, etc. Right now, if I close the screen or move to another app during playback of my recordings, it completely stops the song and I have to restart it from the beginning. It’s extremely frustrating when I’m trying to listen to what I just did and have to constantly restart from the beginning of the track.

since Novation took over. from Ampify, i’d have to say i’m extremely disappointed. ive used launchpad for several years now. but so far, since novation took over, i’ve noticed the packs are sub par in comparison to when Ampify owned Launchpad. i’m not sure why, maybe there’s a different team? idk. also to edit a pad takes way too long to load. i used to use this app with one other app, now i find myself using 4 and back in the app store looking for a replacement altogether. after being happy with this app until recently, i’m kind of sad about it. the genres of the latest packs… what? the packs sound childish. they sound awful, just awful. i’m not making ringtones… i’m trying to make actual tracks. paying $10 a month for this, idk anymore.

Rates 10 out of 10!. I love this app, there are no ads, professional performance and tons of pallets to choose from. The one bad thing about it is that you have to get a membership for most of the pallet’s. although they are good deals, you still have to pay. It also has automatic transfers so whenever you press on a different tab on the pallet in the same line it times it so that it sounds professional. And to the developers, you should make it so that two people on different devices can make music you should also make it possible upload the music or beat’s that people make.

One Thing Missing. Launchpad is a great app, one of my personal favorites. There is no better app that I’ve ever seen for playing back existing tracks broken down into loops and remixing them with effects. I love the fact that we can import our own loops that’s what makes it the most usable app. It is an app of endless possibilities and satisfying results. The one thing missing however came with the update today which is the labels on each pad. Unless there is a way to turn the labels back on in which I am missing, I see this is a step backwards, although I do like the design. I cannot remember which sample is on every pad and without the labels it makes it difficult especially when playing unfamiliar kits.

The Launchpad iOS. Thank you for your consideration I’ve been a “silent”Ambassador for Novation and there products. My first purchase was The Orginal Launchpad with an Impulse 49 with a LIVE 7 Suite . I’ve continued to Support the Novation Family Software and Hardware adding twos Launchpad X’s, Launchkey 25 MK3, Circuit Trax, Bass Satiation , Max for Live, All the IOS Applications buying the Pro Features And Live Set For each Application when I purchased the Subscription I knew Have to shell out more Cash for renewal however I was extremely taking for A loop when the Subscription came to a End I would not be able to access anything past the point of me being subscribe this seem like completely wrong for many reasons . Not being able to have and option to revisit the projects That we developed seems like comprehensive way to drain the pockets of Consumers. How is this a fair practice. We have Subscription base programs for clothing, Food….. I once had a T-shirt Subscription That was completely awesome for how exclusive it was however when the service Ended They didn’t take my shirts off my backs. The disappointment was definitely a shock for the first time in my long history of my loyalty to the Novation family of Brands . Your Product provides Superior experience in learning the craft and I personally feel that if I buy a subscription I committed myself to all the packages for that year. Looking forward to a response from the team!

Been here since day 1. I’ve been using launchpad since the early days when I got my first iPad, I have to say it’s the best music app on the App Store. Initially I was able to put it down just due to the lack of features I felt that kept me engaged, but now with the addition of audio import and it working with blocs wave as well as their incredible, and extensive library of handcrafted loop packs...it’s a clear cut above the rest. I do wish there was a bigger board outside of a 6x6, as well as the limitation of having to play a specific loop for each row or it will turn off the other in that row, but maybe someday soon, it’s not a big enough pain for me to mark it down. Must have for any music enthusiast.

Makes me sign in every time I want to browse the store. This never used to happen in Launchpad and does not happen with the other Ampify iOS apps. Love all these apps, have a Launchkey Mini Mk2, and we even bought a Focusrite USB audio interface. So, loyal customer--but sign in to look at the store is annoying. (Frankly I preferred the old project browser, too and feel it was easier to use and keep track of my projects separate from the loop packs.) ETA With all the (constant) redesigns and updates to this app, which killed many of my saved projects, WHY is it impossible to see the NAME of the SOUNDPACK to which a LOOP belongs, using the less-than helpful search function? WHY is this information apparently not available to the user? If this function exists, WHERE IS IT?!? Do I really have to examine the bass or drum section of EVERY SINGLE SOUNDPACK IN MY LIBRARY to find the name and thus identify the origin of a loop I am looking for?!?! (YES) Can't search by loop name in the store, either. The next time you're updating, FIX. THIS. AND: why do the pad selections DISAPPEAR when you hit stop? How are you supposed to make considered selections when the app wipes the work as you go along. (SCREEN SHOTS!)

Please WE NEED MAJOR KEYS. This app and it’s sister apps are truly amazing, is there anyway to change them from minor to major, or are we stuck with sad minor keys. Believe you me, I LOVE minor scales I have all my musical life, but there comes a time where the major sets a completely different tone. I would give this app 5 stars, but without major keys or the many variants that exist in the world of music. I cannot give complete support to them anymore. I love making music with your apps, and yes there are many time where the keys don’t really matter as far as making high energy “happy music”. Please maybe see if you fantastic men and women can give it a shot!!! I love you work and it’s made me a better musician even when I thought music was over and done in my life. I’ve given up a lot for my musical dreams, foolishly at times, so would you make it happen for all of us who enjoy your app.... Or if I’m that air headed could you please redirect me to what I should be doing? Maybe there’s something I over looked. I’ll try my own methods of changing the keys for now, but having that power within your app would give me the JUICE I’ve been looking for. I think the people who listen to my music would appreciate it too. Right now my work sounds like Mozart just before he di3d....not too fun eh?

Be a DJ super easy. Ok so I’m not great at sitting down at a computer with a digital audio program and develop a grand idea while following through on it. I just know what sounds good. This app let’s you just mess with the premade packs. Don’t worry about wondering if someone will hear them and call you out; they won’t. And if they do, they’re also a music maker as no one cares about paid assets like that except those using them themselves. So grab it on a phone, have fun, get good with it, and just bring your phone. You’ll be able to jump in and create something for a party that is made live right there.

Needs bluetooth MIDI desperately. With all the great feature updates launchpad has had, it is becoming a strong contender for center spot in my live rig, however poor MIDI outboard control options when coupled with the loss of digital audio (it's one or the other with Apple IOS) are holding this app back from live greatness. Everyone including the developers know that getting Live digital audio out of a iPad cannot be done if you want to plug a MIDI controller into the iPad. So if like me you plug a launchpad MIDI controller into the iPad to bring the Launchpad app outboard in a fantastic way, the big sacrifice is audio quality, as you are forced by Apple to use the headphone socket as your audio source for integrating the live output of Launchpad into a mix with other instruments. Now this developer already provides Bluetooth MIDI for one of their other apps, so it's not as if they don't know how to do it! My dream is to connect my Launchpad MIDI controller to the iPad via Bluetooth, use it to play the Launchpad app and get back the digital audio output the iPad offers. There are 3rd party Bluetooth dongles on the market that could make this connection tomorrow if this developer brings Bluetooth Midi support into Launchpad. I want to use this app a lot more as it continuously evolves in good ways but the lack of bluetooth is a show stopper as i won't sacrifice audio quality live.

There is none better on the App Store than Novation!. I have purchased every loop based app on the App Store and find that Launchpad coupled with Blocks Wave is the best bargain, bar none. I am an accredited music producer, who feels the ability to modify, then export entire songs worth of phrases is a tremendous advantage. Especially considering most packs are only a dollar or two. I wish I could share my most recent production using these products in this post to showcase the professional quality achieved with an iPad, an app and a few hours of my time. Keep nailing it Novation! You have a fan for life!

Freaking amazing. I love the iPad version of this application I am a aspiring DJ/Producer myself so the app for the phone is really good for me because I can bring my music with me everywhere I go because I have ideas going through my head constantly so if I'm on the road I can make something up real quick and I can post it to my Soundcloud right then and there which is really good because I'm signed to a record label and if they want something done right away I can do that and email it to them right then and there so this is really really good

Give more music 🎶. I like the game but it gets boring after a while and sometimes gives you and others a headache 🤕 it used to be my favorite game but sorry my favorite game is now among us go check it out on the App Store. If you guys (or girls) give more music 🎵 i will play it but for now I don’t want to see it on my iPad again. I wanted the makers of the game to please make more free music and add so people can sing 🎤 on it but you don’t have to do the singing one this is an update on the review. P.S. thank you for the update on the game! So I’m back and I liked the update it’s nice 👍🏻 good job this is the last time I’m going to be on my review so thank you bye 😃😺 👁👄👁

Wow!. I didn’t think this app was gonna be this amazing!!!! Along with blocs wave and Groovebox and a couple other apps along with my launchpad using a focusrite itrack dock for my audio interface and the possibilities are endless. I can design almost any sound I want now, sorry not much need to buy your sound packs anymore even tho I still get em sometimes for a few newer sounds. I’m really just starting to touch the surface of what it does. Tomorrow I have a volca sample coming in that I’m hoping I can integrate into this setup. It has midi sync so we’ll see. Buy the pro versions of their apps and a little hardware and almost no use for a DAW anymore. Super impressed!!!! Oh yeah. So a way to automate key changes would be awesome too and more than just the minor scale. Every time I update a sound from Blocs Wave to launchpad, Launchpad stops responding.

Absolutely amazing. I never write reviews, that alone should be testament to the fact that I love this app so much. I have so much respect for the creators, it seems like every app nowadays wants to shove an ad down your throat every five seconds. In the good hour I was messing around with it, I didn't see a single one. Several sound packs are free and the ones that aren't are very reasonably priced. It's high quality audio, there's a very handy "tips" page to help you get started, and it's extremely fun making a beat of your own. Five stars, you guys are awesome.

AMAZING!. This app is simple easy to use. But there are tons of fun fun sounds to put into your music. And it would be hard for me to pick a favorite sound pack. Maybe drum and bass. there are so many sound packs that cost money, why not make some of those free? Now I do completely understand that you are a company and a company does need to get paid, but just a few of those to be free would be nice. I have lots of music apps, and this one is my favorite. And I have checked out your other apps. I really liked groove box, but I wasn’t a big of blocs wave. But really do love you company and would like to see you make more amazing things!

Genius. I’ve been using this app for 6 years. The sound packs are so unique and creative that you get so much more than just what your looking for. Customizing your own pack using different samples is a breeze. The sound packs are way ahead of their time and you can literally generate song ideas from the first bar of these riffs. Worth every single penny and very inexpensive. No problems with syncing right into garageband. No ads no bugs. Honestly my favorite app. Extremely user friendly, I’ve made so much music with this app I could go on all day and I literally hate just about every music app out there.

Best music making app available. I’ve tried every music making app around (from free to expensive) and this is by far the best one on the market. I’m not super hi-tech so I really appreciate how easy it is to use, but it also has the best sound samples anywhere, so it’s a win all around. I’ve created songs on here that I listen to all the time. I absolutely love this app, thank you for making it! Currently my favorite hobby and is what keeps me going during these difficult times.

i'm mad. ive been using this app since 2021 and have bought over 20-40$ of packs. and now i cant use any because its hidden behind a subscription???? the only reason this app was worth it is because it was mostly free and didn't push a subscription on you. now all that money spent over the years means nothing?? so I'm being forced to spend 50$ a year now??? i understand if the company isn't making enough money so you have to do a subscription. but if not then why?????

Jason Rose, Umm I might be stupid?. So launchpad is amazing and is getting frequent updates, sound packs, and is always open for review. The free sound packs are amazing and the ones you buy could be better or worse depending on perspective. The one thing I don’t like about it is that once you’ve purchased something then exit out of the soundtrack you can’t restore your purchase so I might be missing something or I’m just stupid. I would really like if one of the developers could help me out here. I just read some of the reviews and saw that 2yrs ago someone had the same problem I did so where is the restore purchases page and by restore I mean get rid of the sound packs and get my money back because I bought one and realized it was the wrong one. If you could reply pls do ASAP. But this is still an amazing app and I would recommend people to download it. 20/10. Other than my bug it’s amazing so much appreciated developers for all you’ve done for this app.

Needs list of everything about like everything. This game might need a fix on deleting things I recording because when I touch delete on the side my screen is just frozen like all the time I’ve tried 7 times today and still it may be because I’m not using delete right or it needs a fix also when I deleted the app and got it back did not work but the game is still a great work on and it has made me get into good beats and anything with it goes good with the buttons. 😀This game also needs a way that people can send songs to other people like in music the app

Love it, but suggestion. I’ve been using this app since it was was first released and I absolutely love the whole thing so much! That being said, I do have an idea for an improvement, I think you should add a button to switch projects during live play, the launchpad has the capability if the software supports it. If I could change from one set to another with the push of a button it would help a lot with fading into the next track during live performances using the app. Just an idea, I love the program, and I’m a big fan of your instruments as well!

Bug found, I hate the bug. Hi! Something has been really bothering and it’s this bug that makes this happen: When I set the bpm of a project say 162bpm to 93bpm, I noticed that if I then increase that new bpm (like 93 to 94) by 1 then decrease it by 1bpm (increasing and decreasing quickly and having the increasing and decreasing of the bpm start before the sounds on that will load to become a new sound) the sounds will never load! This is a way to help it: closing the app and reopening it. That way is the ONE and ONLY way to help it but if I do the thing that CAUSED the bug last time AGAIN, the sounds STILL don’t load! STILL the bug happens if I delete the app from my device and redownload the app again if I do the thing that CAUSES the bug! NANI?!??!?!?!?!

Love it. Love love love this app, and looks even better now it has had a complete refresh. As a complete non musician this is just great fun way to play with tools that pro's use and make some amazing sound come out of your speakers...and a great way to spend some time on a plane

Great but What is Launchpad Premium. I love the app but I'm curious what Launchpad Premium is and how do I get it. Each update refers to it but I cannot find any other reference to it, anywhere.

Highly rate this app!. So as someone who is not a hard out muso or music producer. This is a genuinely fun and relatively easy app to use to understand some of the basic in terms of timing and pitch etc Wide range of packs and sounds, definitely a plus Only thing I wish we could do is mix and match loops from different sound packs to build our own packs, bonus points if you make this happen. Even then I’ve enjoyed making some cool stuff 💯

This app is AMAZING!!!. So I downloaded the app just to try it out and make music. At the start I was a trash so I left the app and here I am coming back to the app this week and with the updates they are putting out with the free music pack is amazing and I have made at least 5 new bangers with the new free packs.

We need more pages!. Recently I have used samples for BeatPad PC and I was wondering if pages could be a feature. It would be a great feature to have in the app as users can perform launchpad covers on iOS. Thank you!

Amazingly creative!!!. I just did a long haul flight and ran my ipad battery down playing launchpad. Absolutely amazing app. 1 feature request. When pressing the tempo button, can it also display the key please? When using the ableton live function I keep having to go into the sound pack store to determine the key of the sound pack to key match with other apps.

BEST GAME EVER 💋❤️. This is the best music app unlike some games you should all get this app once you try it you will want to play 24 7 but don't actually that's bad for i sight

NovationLaunchpad review. I Say get LAUNCHPAD APP for your iphone and you won’t look back , I love it. It’s so flexible and mind numbing and expansive beyond your imagination. Iv been using this app for more than few years now. The app is Excellent. It’s a forever evolving platform The app is great for someone with a good imagination Make your own genre if you want It’s the Launchpad Evolution, I highly recommend Launchpad the app and notation and all the related products keyboards , pads, list just goes on... and to think how clever the sound engineer who designed this platform . 👍

Launchpad has always been brilliant. But now they want to send you broke.. The company that makes Launchpad have introduced a subscription model, a “Launchpad Pro” level of membership in which you get access to their entire catalogue of soundpack, plus new ones each week. But it's not cheap. Obviously, you are not *compelled* to sign up for this higher level of access, but if you already have, eg, an account on Loopcloud or Splice, or similar, then this new thing will seem like a very big ask.

OMG THIS SHOULD GET APP OF THE DECADE. never has been travelling to school been so much fun for my Kids. Each child has an absolute hoot making music to groove whilst being stuck in traffic. Also so good for my love of music making now I can music for my drone videos. I love it Can we please have a COUNTER at the top of the screen so I can see how long my music is playing for AND or recording for. A lot of my time is spent making music and having a ball and then realising that I’ve been going for 6 minutes to long on a track. Thanks for an amazing APP guys

GENIUS. Cleverly designed and planned beautifully. This app is a true work of craftsmanship and Art combined. It compensates for its limitations (all music apps have them, no matter how sophisticated) by compensating for what it cannot do by absolutely empowering the end user with what it can do in a beautifully well executed and genius level crafted app that is an absolute joy to use. Take a bow people. Super impressed and loving what’s happening every time I enter this music application. I can simply and easily say there has never been anything better cross my path on an application that can be used on a handheld device. Instant favourite! 10 stars out of 10 stars! AMAZING

👌. It works well and it is easy to use. Doesn’t take up too much space and it doesn’t crash.

It’s good. It’s super fun to use and even when your first starting out with it it’s not like those other fancy apps where there’s buttons over and over there that do this and that, it’s super simple and easy to figure out with hardly any effort

Won’t open after update. Won’t open after update Please fix this, I want to be famous how can I if won’t open But other wise it’s a great app, one of the best apps Works great with bloc waves

Held back just that bit.... It would be great if hardware launchpad or at least if launchpad mini would work in the iPhone with the app, like it dies on the iPad version. Would be good for a more compact live setup for gigs

Guitar 🌈🌹PnW PWBB 💋. Please l am just curious about what your thoughts are on the application l have spent $$$galore and Please l am just curious about what your thoughts are on the application l have spent $$$galore and we have been there since 79 e have been there since 79

Inspiration for making music. I Absolutely love launchpad it my go to App when I want to start any track and it usually evolves into a full blown live set that gets exported to Ableton live using the export Ableton live session function that loads straight into live exactly the same as it appears on the launchpad App, I also use the Novation Launchkey mini connected to the iPad and works seamlessly I also use the Akai APC 40 mkii when using Ableton. If you are going to purchase Launchpad then do yourself a favour and get yourself BLOCS WAVE & GROOVEBOX and unlock all the features coz you will want to use them I spend a lot of time sampling in blocs wave and love it it’s a constant evolving creative space, only advice would be to have folders to organise your own samples and loops and the ability to over dub on the same sample but other that this very small wish I LOVE AMPIFY 😁🙏👍🤟

Overall useful and nice sounding but not without issues. V.7 has a nice interface and some nice new features. Still, the glaring omission of a reverb effect and ifx per clip keep this from being an iOS production staple. There are still some issues with sample import like difficulty getting loops to sync and stuff as well. Seems V.7 was mostly a UI update. I still don’t understand the effect IAP’s as they should come standard and free. Novation certainly makes enough income off their “launch packs”...

Launchpad. Hi everyone I am a BIG BIG fan of all of novation/ampify Apps as I have them all. But I’m here to talk about the launchpad app, the one and only thing I could fault on the iPhone version is that there is no option to controll volume of individual sections like you can on the iPad version. But apart from man I love it I use it everyday no joke, I use it to make all of my music so far along side blocks wave which is a another winning app. I would recommended this to anyone for sure. I wish they had a Mac version too but no doubt that’s in the works. Anyway this is one longgggg review GREAT PRODCUT

Pre updated version back pls!?. I've been using this app for awhile now.. I've been disappointed with the latest updates tho... it's not random enough with pre selected sounds anymore.. Any change would be appreciated...

Best beats to vibe too. As an artist I love the simplicity that this app brings it gives you a way to stay ahead of your creative flow and allows you to grow and learn from other talented amazing creative minds ❤️❤️

Simply Brilliant. I was hooked the first time l downloaded it and l have not wavered regarding those initial feelings ever since. The updates and tweaks over the years were introduced to us “end users” of this app, with a seamless integration which meant the benefits these updates brought with them, were able to be enjoyed and used to enhance something we were already doing on the previous platform and the effect was immediate. Simply put, l never felt the need nor was l required, to spend hours or even days re-training myself on how to use the app. No such drama with this one..! Wish l could rate it higher than just five stars. I have mixed samples from years ago on this app and play them every now and then. It stills feel great to see people genuinely yet pleasantly surprised, when they learn it was one of my creations. Now that’s kicking a goal.....to the creators off this app, all l can say is, keep creating guys, cause these sort of achievements are only spawned by and with, passion. Christos Giorgio

Great new look! Absolutely best inspirational composer. Period!. Amazing new update! Always a go to on the iPad. Great sound libraries too. Integrates super with blocs. Hope bloc gets a fresh new look too.

Overdoing it on the updating the GUI.. It was much better before, it was already minimal. The latest updates have made the GUI look more kindergarten. Improve it under the hood, each iteration gets less responsive. Also, can you unlock it so the cheesy sound packs it comes with can be deleted? Haven't yet found a way to do this.

A seriously amazing app. This app out performs all others that I have come across. The sound packs are highly creative, easy to use beautifully presented. The apps ability to sync with other music programs is just one of the many bonuses that are provided. If you can’t make music using this app then you are in the wrong profession.

Great app!. Amazing app, used it for nearly 5 years, very good for making music. I wish I could use beats horizontally at the same time though

This is an amazing app. This app is so good because all the sound packs are so diverse and unique! I really enjoy making recordings. So far I have around 60 recordings. This is an app worthy of ten stars!

LaunchPad Is AWESOME. This App Has Kept My Intrest For 3 Years and I would just love to say a big thank you for making my time using the app worth it, I would love it more if you could make up your own loops or record your voice for them but I hope this will stay my favourite app for many years to come! XOXO kai

Good app but needs a way to export music to files. I love launchpad but there needs to be a way to export recordings to files so I could use the music for stuff

Literally the best music making app ever!. This app is literally the best app for making music! It comes with so many soundpacks and if you don’t want to use them you can buy soundpacks from the launchpad store! There is only one thing, please add more free soundpacks! Other than that it is literally the best music making app ever! 😄

Amazing. The controls are sooooo easy to use and the experience is amazing you can even listen to your jams made by you even when your not on the app e.g. you can play that music while your playing your favourite game

This is the best launch pad app ever!!!!!. I think you should get it and even if you’re a pro I’d still recommend it and the subscription is not too expensive Grate app

Clever stuff. It’s a very clever way of pitch and time shifting while mixing any sounds stored together seamlessly. I have mad a bunch of tracks using Launchpad as a template and finishing it all off in a DAW. I genuinely can’t fault this app and the sound packs (if you want to use them) are added regularly. Not only that but you can add your own and they will be pitch and time shifted perfectly too when you change tempo or key and it can all be done live. It’s very clever stuff.

Crashes while working. Don’t bother adding favourites or trying to create a track from an empty sound pack. After hours of work the app will crash and all that effort becomes pointless. It’s happened several times to me. Pretty disappointing. If you choose to use this app, take the time to write down the pads your using in a note pad so when it crashes (and it will) you’ll be able to start all over again. Yay

The best app ever. OMG! This is the best music app ever! So many samples, so many features, so much fun. I could lose my social life from playing this app, it’s so hard to stop playing it! Definitely the best music app out there to create your own songs.

Despite update, still great. I deducted a star for the new update as it’s a step backwards, but still a very good app. Please listen to feedback from ma y and return to the old design. You tried the new one but it didn’t work as well. Also, try responding to Facebook messages.

crashes on my projects. All of a sudden just crashes on my projects paid for.... very annoying

Launchpad. Launched is good but I had one problem when I brough the import audio for $4 I had a go at it (I imported files and stuff). And then when I updated launchpad I was going to import a new file then it came up with the purchase screen and I am not paying for it agin Launchpad DEV please help me

Very nice. I love this app and I can just sit for hours while mashing very nice sounds that work together wonderfully. I’m curious on one thing, what can I do with the Ableton link feature? I have linked my iPod and phone together both via this app and I’m just curious what I can do with it.

Launchpad, It’s good but has problems.. The software works ok on the ipad or iPhone but downloading soundpacks is a problem. I recently purchased a sound pack but then found it would not download onto my iPhone. This problem stops me buying any further sound packs. Very disappointing.

🤩 wow. At first I thought it was gonna be a launch pad with adds everywhere and paying membership for better stuff but this app is so cool and good and the fact you can make the beat drop sound so good with any of the sounds created is the best. -Santiago

I want to see my sounds I used. Love the app, I have one problem. Once I stop playing a sound, I forget which sounds I used. Could you make it so that when you click on a recording, you can see which sounds you used. Thanks

Really cool. That you can take videos and change the title of the Recording and when you swipe up it does that thing and make a update That you can do all of the beats

Nice!. It would be even nicer if you can change the key of the project like you do in Blockwave. I know this is all about marketing, what you get in one you don't in the other, you have to get both so you purchase more. Isn't that right?. What about showing the original key in the Project for every pack, like Remixlive does? I know that you are going to tell me that you can see the key of the pack in the Store but that's not good enough. Am I missing something here?

Key change is awesome!. Wow, the second last piece of the puzzle has been completed for Launchpad! Lifting this flexible piece of live software to a new level! The final piece would be the ability to load another project without a break in sonic output.

Amazing app, can’t import.... I love this app. It’s so much fun to mess around with but a while ago I purchased the audio import and was very pleased that I could import sounds from other apps. I recently got a new iPad for Christmas and stopped using my parents Apple ID and got my own. I have family sharing so that I get all my old purchases but when I re-downloaded launchpad it didn’t have audio import, so I logged back into my mum’s account and deleted and downloaded launchpad again and the import was unlocked. So I went to sign back into my account and it was still there, so far so good. I later went to buy a soundpack I really liked and it asked me to sign in to the App Store. So after I did that I couldn’t use audio import any more. I don’t want to have to pay $10 again so is there any way to fix this? Thanks, Charlie

The apps great. You’re pretty good at making lots of great apps. I really love those apps, especially this one. Launchpad is one of the best apps in the world. and you can make whatever music you want in the genre thing. but it would be excellent if you put an EDM and dubstep in there as well. after all, I love dubstep. although I’m not critical, so you don’t need to worry. anyways, I like the app, it’s so good.

Creativity in a box. This app helps you to create and gives you ideas with a touch of a button please take a look

OMG I though this would be like one the Ames where there is adds every second. I take a back. I was wrong so good amazing not one criticism to make not one that’s a first for me

Confused. After updating such an exciting update ,it now doesn’t load at all...please help me fix this issue as iv spend over$200 on this app and to have this bug sure is disappointing

Legit awesome app. Sick

Pretty good. I like it. Free. Simple. Awesome

Super cool !. Kind of cool for a music lover like me

Free sound packs. This is a really good app. I would really really really like to see some more cool, epic, free sound packs please. I love the free packs that you guys have.

Omg 😱. I love this game it’s just so much fun 🤩

Pretty good. The only thing you could change is sharing to spotify and other music apps

I love it. Because I can change the sounds on the button

Cool game. Cool beats

Fun App, All I Gotta Say. This app is really fun and easy, I love it. The only problem is though, I want to delete some of my recordings of my mess - ups when I was trying to record a song, and I don’t have enough space for me to record the full song and I want to see if deleting my recordings would work, but I can’t find a delete button. I held things, double tapped things, I even looked up on how to delete recordings off of Launchpad, but I have to figure out how to hook my phone onto my computer and I don’t want to go through all that trouble. I even looked in the tips, settings and I even tried to restart the app! But, I can’t delete my recordings. So, pretty fun app, but guys, the one thing that you forgot was a delete button for the recordings. EDIT: Nevermind, I am just an idiot all I had to do was just swipe. Yeah, so there was a delete button. This app is amazing umm...yeah check it out.

Wow. Best app ever

Fun. I wish I could do a bit more without paying but still great

Amazing. It’s really good I love making songs on it

Amazing app!. Fun and Great!

REALLY GREAT!. This is really good, it's the best musicmaker I've found on Appstore, you can pick different style (electro, trap, hip-hop, and others). It make you feel really creative and there's a tone of different sound, you can mix them, and there is also effect you can had to the beat to make it sound like a really song. For free, you can make an infinity of different music, download now!!

Lunch Pad. Is a great app to make new instrumental music for the song I'm currently working on, I just finished the recording I’m gonna use for it and it sounds great, I’m actually impressed with how it turned out and I’m sure it has huge potential for a new single to hit the charts. MR MATTHEW t POLLARD, SoBErLight Productions, Inc.™©®.

hell yes. just superb

Super Cool!. I love Launchpad! It has so many different soundtracks and you can record them too! Getting Premium Mode is HIGHLY recommended. The one thing I wish this game actually had is a voice recorder where you can sing to the song too. Otherwise—WAY FUN!

Launchpad. Good music mixing app

It’s great. Love the sound packs , easy to be creative

Cool. So good at at making beats😍

Great game🤩. I can even play with my friends! Well on FaceTime if they have the game too. I can make the same beat as someone else! Its a amazing game 🥰

Great app. Only reason I dont rate it 5* is because I’m a broke boy and no premium plan for me. If it was entirely free it would be 6/5*

Loop need. Excellent app I make a lot of music through need more loops to attach

Thank you launch pad. This is so easy to use, no adds and retro funk sound pack is beautiful

Gud. [insert music login here]

More dubstep. I like dubstepSo I need more

Fat sounds and a slick interface. Designed for the armchair warrior, can't tell if it's advanced enough to use for an actual gig but i could definitely take my way through a home party with just the free sound packs alone for a couple hours.

Very bad. All the good songs are payed for so I went to import my own and boom also pay for that and theres only 5 free songs

Maudit abonnements !. Pas question d’abonnement ! J’aimerais payer une fois tout simplement sans contrat de mariage !!!

The Amazing Launchpad. I struggle with a TBI and Launchpad allows me to be creative and express a feeling, even a sensation. I love it so much I’ve paid for premium the last few years!

so good. this is so cool

Bon. Le jeux et plus bon

The best there is!. I believe it been a year since I started using Launchpad. The learning curve was almost non existent as this app is so user friendly, the sound packs are cheap and there is always a new one every week or two. You can interchange any sound from any pack, and u get a 7x7 board to build whatever song u want, it amazing! On top of the fact you can change the key of all tones, or speed up and lower the speed of the beats. Plus there is a hot bar with a flanger etc. The options are endless just like the sounds and if your hobbie is music or your trying to start out as a musician this app WILL get you there. 5 out of 5 worth every cent!

It’s pretty good. Not much you can do without paying, but still pretty fun. Even though 90% of the entire game restricts you unless you pay 3 dollars.

Amazing. I get lost in sound for hours. One of the best apps out there.

It’s a Great song and great remix but. I like the idea of Mixing it and music as well but does these old once be turned into download whenever this doesn’t gets used on it, I mean if the Other album never been used or it has a sale on it can you make some of them downloadable for some of it becuase some of them are old and some of them are new but half good ones we try then we buy and half is old which we can use them! Thank you for reading this!

From bucket head. It’s so great I’ve made a great career out of this

Needs more starting genres. I believe that there should be a wider range of genres to start out with instead of just a bunch of house ones I wish that the chip tune genre could be one of the starters.

Amazing. This app really helps you get in touch with your inner musician! My only complaint would be I wish all of the songs were free instead of having to buy the premium version. Great app otherwise!!

Incredible. Incredible

Wonderful app. 😎👏🏻

Worst game. You have to Pay to play it I’m sick of apps doing that

Meh. Not bad. Would’ve been better if there was a built in keyboard or something like in GarageBand

THIS IS SO COOL!. Great game! 😁 soooo fun!!!!! get it!

Such great fun.. Fun.

Outstanding. This beat making app is literally the best thing I’ve used in along time

This is amazing I just love how you can create different beat. Download now to be even cooler and popular

Sounds the best. You can make the best Music

Free sound packs. I got all the free sound packs authorized then I dont receive them. I try pressing it again and it does nothing

“!!!!! I’m Definitely In Love With This App!!!!!”. (“!!!!!Holy Marry Mother Of All Might God!!!!!”)... I Am Most Undeniably So Loving This Music App I Have Been Up All Night Playing The Music That I’ve Been Making Myself Just Jamming To The Many Different Styles Of Sweet Melodies With This Be Your Own D.J And Make Your Very Own Trap Music 🎵 Has Captured My Attention In Such A Extremely Entertaining Aspect, In Which No Other App I’ve Downloaded Ever Did! I Bow My Knee In Aw To The Developer’s Ingenious Creation Of This Greatly Appreciated Music App’s Making.💯🎶❤️😎👍😁❤️🎶💯. Great Work On Developing This App Can’t Wait To See What’s Next Great Work Indeed.💯👍💯

Issue with new update. First off love the app, very powerful! Maybe I’m just doing some wrong but now with the new update any project I try to export from blocs doesn’t load at all. Launch pad will try to load then it crashes. Note: I have recently updated both apps and this seems to be when the trouble started. If you guys could look into this as I use that export feature almost exclusively Regardless, both apps let you make very dense and tight tracks and I am having a lot of fun with both

Beautiful. This is a really cool app. It offers quite a good deal of quality content for free. While you can buy more from the app the amount of choices you are given for free is awesome, especially the record option, which is free. You can also share, (for free) which I have used another music app like this and these were not free options. All in all, this is an awesome app for music creating. I HIGHLY recommend this.

Port the V-Station software synthesizer to the iPad!. It really is a no-brainer request - V-Station is positively brilliant - we’ve been just talking about it again on KVR (it still gets attention after 15 years - it still has a few bugs that need to be squashed, too!) You guys just did a patch on it this past October bringing it up to ver 2.6, so you’re still at least marginally supporting it. Honestly: what’s keeping you from porting it to the iPad?

Expensive!!!. Overall the app is pretty good and well designed but it could use work on its appearance. The only thing that really bugs me is how expensive the sounds are for just a few loops. I think if the sounds were less expensive I would have bought more. The app has a lot of potential and I think it could be one of the superior beat making apps. Also, more synth-wave/ 80’s loops could be more beneficial since that’s the only reason I download this app.

One small error.. I love this app I’ve been using it for about 2 years now and it is amazing but I tried sharing one of my songs on Instagram and it stopped when i was about to upload it, I don’t know if this is a problem for launchpad or Instagram but I’ll leave a comment for Instagram to. Also if this app is really amazing and with this apps simple and easy audio import the possibilities are LITERALLY ENDLESS!!!!! Love this app though!😁 keep up the great work!

Awesome app read my review. Well i am using this app around 5 even could be 6 years . You can greatly make your own music by this awefull app because you will have nice sample's that its connect together by automaticly cync . You guys know everywere have bad and goods but this app just have one bad part , that you have to pay money if you want to have more sample . I am djdarki that you guys can find me in instagram . Take care ❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful….But. Hey, this app is completely 👏🏻 awesome 👏 but there’s a limit to the amount of starting packs. I wish there was a few more, maybe add the already free packs and a few others? Just saying. Also, could you make accessing your recordings easier/better? For example: add it’s own button on the top of the screen, or add a ’Your Records’ section? That’s all, I love the app, just have a bit more for the completely free players.

Need more free sound packs although great. I love this game I make lots of music and record a lot but I don’t put money on my iPad I need new beats I use the ones that are free but I sometimes get sick of them and get off of my iPad I would love for you to get a new thing for lots of new FREE sound packs but I still love this game and you should get it to but please fix the problems

Nice Toy. unfortunately no manual and specs to be found, Pros probably not the target group of the devs, audio glitches with my loops that work perfectly in logic, cubase and pro tools. of course I paid for the audio import feature, but glitches in loops? not acceptable. now I would love an explanation why this happens, maybe a sample/bitrate issue, I use 48/24 throughout all my audio, my loops don‘t necessarily end at zero crossings, why should they, it‘s live piano. so, no info anywhere, no contac/support on website, three stars cause I‘m generous. how about a refund?

Launched Me Into My Music Career. Forever grateful for this app, because of it I have an album up and will be producing more. I don’t want to steal all the credit though and always give thanks to the apps for helping me. It’s beyond amazing and I’m so happy something like this exists. I do have a question though. I did mention I have an album up. Is it ok to do that using these sounds? If not, let me know! Anyway this is my secret weapon in so much of my work.

Make your own music!. Sometimes you just can’t find the music you’re looking for. So why not just make your own. This is great for people like me who want to produce unique tracks but can’t because of all the technical training or money for equipment. This is a way to help find your own sound based on existing samples. I’ve been playing on this for hours and love it. Can’t wait to share some tracks with friends soon. Strictly hobby.

There’s NO adds!!!👏🏽😁. There is not a single add and that’s why I’m giving it five stars. It’s a pretty decent app though. It’s got future trap which is pretty good and future hip hop, and retro house and stuff like that, but there’s not a big selection at all. But on another bright note you can do like repeater or the wobble and that stuff for free which is AWESOME! It’s pretty fun, I’d played some better ones like DPM and Groovepad. But there is adds and you have to pay for the effects. So over all it’s a decent app and I think y’all should give it a try.

Best music. I love this app. It allows you so much diversity in the music and allows you to make awesome tracks. One thing i really love is that you can post the music you create, i post mine on soundcloud. One thing i would like for the creator to change is to make it so while im making the song and recording it that i could say change the volume or number of beats but quickly so it doesn’t mess up the song. But overall besides that one detail i love this app and anyone who is interested in music should get this. :)

I have become an Amplify convert!. I downloaded this app originally just to play around with sound arrangements as I travel, but it has now replaced expensive software in my production workflow. While it is as simple to use as a child’s toy, it produces high quality beats. My only critique is that I spent decades building technical expertise and, now, a good ear is all it takes to become a master producer!

It’s amazing. It is very good and I hope may people get this beat making app because it’s not every day you get to make your own kind of music that you like in your own way. What I’m trying to say is that you own everything on this app and you feel like you can’t break any rules because you make the rules in this app. Make sure no one tells you otherwise or you’ll have very poor decisions in your life, like not getting this app. ;)

Recording artist master audio engineer. extremely easy to set up compared to the big ones I think I like this actually better because it actually sounds better works a lot easier very user-friendly and very easy to understand once you figure out where you were running up to the sound sound of generalized them in groups and mission preview

Good, but..... I’ve had the app for years now. I have always enjoyed it, however now that I got back on it after such a long time. I noticed that they removed the titles for each section that identify what each section of each pack is. So I don’t even know what I’m using at all except for the colors and rows that separates them from each other. Other than that, there is nothing to help tell them apart or know exactly which section does what.

I love this app. I love this app a lot i have made a lot of stuff with them but the only reason i am giving them 4 stars is because I feel like they need to release more music that can be used for people that don’t have the membership like if they released new beats every month or every other month that would satisfy. I have tried a lot of other apps because i dont own a laptop or anything. And this is the one app i actually like. But i think they need to add more music for non membership people.

It’s fun and cool 😊❤️❤️❤️. I love this app I love making beats and new sounds and I have made some songs with it.I really like this app and if you are doubting this app I know how you feel that is how I was,but trust me in my opinion I really like it but I hope they did not have to make you pay for like textures and very very cool sounds I am not saying it’s over priced but I don’t really want to pay for cool and awesome sounds. So all I am trying to say this is a VERY cool app and you should get it HOPE you ENJOY IT 😊

Give us back the labels. Edit: Labels are back! Great job listening to the customers! Sincere thx! Great app, nice update, but... With the labels missing on the buttons, it became extremely difficult to remember which button gives what sound. There is some color coding, but that is just not enough! I would have given 1 star, since this makes the app close to impossible to use for me, but knowing how good it was before the update, I couldn't bring myself to score low.

It just amazing.. I have been a Launchpad user for a few years now. In addition to the other Novation apps, Launchpad continues to be an outlet of musical creation. I do not consider myself professional on any level, however, I can entertain myself and create some great tracks! If you want intuitive, easy to use, and able to import your own sounds and tracks, give it a try! Thank you for continuing to update and bring more sound packs into the mix!

I LOVE THIS APP 🔥🔥🔥🔥although one bug. This app is amazing I use it so much because I love to make music. Now their is one big just one just one bug. I have some apps that I like to go to while I’m listening to my recording but when I go into Disney emoji blitz’s (I’m not partnered with jam city) it sounds like the music is on the other side of a football field and just sounds off. So Developers plz change that so I can go into any app without it sounding like that. Yes I play Disney emoji blitz don’t judge me. 💪🏻🔥🔥🔥

Blocs & Launchpad-. You wanna write with more samples than your imagination could ever hear: Eq, Slice, Match Any Style, Export To Ableton, Record & Export, Ad Effx, Back and Forth Edit & Re-edit from B’s to Lpad for Perfection and Perform Live with DJ effects(specifically in Launchpad only), add a Flanger in there and it is all here. A match made in Heaven! Now, you can even slide over to there New Mac App Workstation from Ampify with over 10,000 samples from Trap To Metal to Classical and now diving in to the K-pop world. No, I dont work there or invest in it.

Will kill your battery (UPDATED). EDIT: Thanks for the response. I realize now the error is on my part and I apologise for the review. Gonna leave my original up in case anyone runs into the same issue 🤪 (ORIGINAL) Make sure you kill the app when youre done, or it will eat most of your battery in about half a day. Battery usage was at 53% for this one app from the time I unplugged (8ish) to right after I finished work (3pm). NOT ok!!!

An honest review. Ok to start off, I am NOT a bot! Ok I love just messing around with the different soundtracks but it gets annoying when you accidentally push record. Can you guys add like when you push it, it says “are you sure you want to record?”, that would be so SO helpful! Also I have a buncha recorded stuff that I wanna delete so an option to do that would be wonderful! But overall great app 10/10 I personally recommend it!

Its a dream for al of thouse who hace worked wichi hardware EM. Smashing aplication forma a house i have been working for a decade using Excélsiors hardware from Novation. I was a little eskeptic, but i tried, and maybe im amazed 😅 but it is a Groove box from the late ninities, a sampler when you get trough blocks ( the app) and the lots of automatizations that i have to program befare on my Roland 808, or Groove box functions works here very easy to recognize. I love it ❤️ im Gonna buy it, at léast some functions….

Premium subscriber, app not recognizing. Love launchpad on iPhone and was excited about the extra features on iPad but its trying to charge me. App Store confirms subscription, uninstalled and reinstalled, app has option to restore packs but not subscription Edit for dev: There isn't a premium page, that's my point. No option for anything premium like the iPhone app.

Good, but could be better.. The app is great, one of the best music maker apps that I’ve downloaded. But one problem with it, and maybe it’s just me, but when I’m making a song, there is sometimes a delay which screws up my whole song. I don’t know really how to describe this, I’m not the best with words, It may be just me, I don’t know if anyone else has this problem. But, if there’s a way to fix that then this app would be perfect!

Best music app. If you want to get a track but don’t want to pay a monthly subscription to a music service. If you have a short video that needs some royalty free tracks. You can use launchpad to quickly create a track and make variations to suit the footage. The ease with which someone with minimal musical knowledge or experience is just amazing. Straight forward and awesome track samples and great quality as well. Well recommended.

So addictive. I’ve had this app for quite a while and I never get bored with it. Being able to connect with others and play music together is my favorite part. I love all the information that’s available and the seemingly infinite sound boards that are released. It’s very comforting to know that stuff like this is still available and is constantly being tweaked to make it that much better. Get this and you will be glad you did.

Hello!. I usually don’t write reviews and not sure if anyone on the team will see this, but I really like using the app! But… I’m not sure if this is a glitch or not. The “Buy” button that sits over the “Free Trial” option is gone! I don’t know why, buying packs individually has been helpful before. But that’s my review! I really really like it! I just thought I’d ask about the “buy” option, given it seems odd that it’d just… disappear.

I Love this app!. This app works great, specially with the import feature, I'm using it a lot, I do have a feature request, as you make your own projects they can add up, and there seems to be no way to back them up from the app. So that they can be restored on another iPad. So a project backup and restore feature would be most welcome. Thank you for the great job you're doing :-) ****** Asking for a feature on a future update, the ability to import MP3

Big beats and sounds and most importantly this app is accessible.. I’ve use this app for years and the accessibility keeps getting better. Thank you so much to the developers as I enjoy all the sound packs you make available. As a blind/visually impaired user, without accessibility this app would be useless. However, I use it quite frequently so thank you.

Simply great. Fantastic app for those that enjoy and love music. Wether a boba Fide music maker, remixer, pro or amateur. This app will have you hooked! Beautifully designed and smartly put together. The whole suit of apps and functionalities from this developer is outstanding and so far unmatched for the price. I hope it never goes away and it never ceases to offer a free version - that was my gateway to getting hooked! Awesome way to discover new musicIan’s and creators as as well.

used to be. i added up all the reciepts i have from launchpad and its hundreds of dollars. i remember when this app was fresh and new and the developers were hungry. i bought their app, and god knows how many soundpacks. but those went away and now they want me to buy the app every month in a subscription. golly ,they will even give me a free soundpack if i susbcribe. sorry but i dont subscribe to apps. that is basically buying the app every month. all the songs i created aregone and almost all the soundpacks i bought are gonei used to be a big supporter, but i wont be telling anyone about it now, unless i tell them how you treat old friends. there is cautionary tale here, when you buy digital material, apps and such, you might think you own something. guess again, it can be taken away on a whim. if you have digital content that you want to keep, better put it on a hard drive, or cd or something, because eventually the developers are going to want you to pay and pay and pay for the same thing over and over and over.

I literally love it!. Hi im an artist named Amaruuq Inu Polii, I used to use this app with all my music, but I stopped using it about 1 year ago because I didn’t know if I would get copyrighted. I recommend this app if you like making music for fun but you don’t have anything to make beats with. I’m really thankful this app existed when I started making music. Or I wouldn’t have learned about how to make beats at all. I use garageband now.

4 Stars because I need this one Feature!. I love this app and it has really helped me shape up my debut album with the sound packs provided. However, the one thing I really wish you’d give is a preview of the pack. Not the song y’all made, but we could click on the sound pack and have the option to listen to the sounds one by one before making the purchase. Sometimes the song y’all made is great but then I buy the pack, and the sounds are all there but majority of them I’ll never use, so that would be great!

Quick question 🧐✅. I have been using this Launchpad for a while now, and I absolutely love it. Now, I have one question, it’s sort of a request. Yet I don’t know if the program itself would be able to have a voice recorder in an option in settings. I don’t want to pressure anything, knowing adding that might take some time and money. But just to let you know and ask. Thank you for all your hard work on this successful music app.

Great App But..... This is a great app and fun but that is all it is fun, it has absolutely 0 production value and NONE of the features of the physical units which you would expect see in an app such as this, especially with it being named exactly the same, but so far as I can tell, you cannot connect it as a MIDI device to your DAW, nor assign samples to the pads to trigger sounds in the DAW, or anything else you would think that it would as a launchpad. In the end this app does a good job of mimicking the real thing, and the sounds included are decent, but this is definitely not what it appears to be.

What happened to the names for each loop?. Hi, I’ve bought several sound packs and like them. After a recent update, I can no longer see the names of each loop on the grid. This makes triggering on the fly much less intuitive. I’m posting this as a question in hopes that it will get answered and help others. Did I miss the feature somewhere?

Just another great one from Novation. I can see that it’s going to be easy to use and also the feature to be able to load loops and apply fax is amazing. I didn’t think I would be able to find something like this quickly and free. Not sure if this will sync with Launchpad keyboard but I’m going to give this a shot at some point.I’m already loving this app. Mister Lo Figh

ALMOST there. This really is an excellent app, with great features and new sounds being added regularly. But — and I know I’m odd — I want other time signatures! I’m working on a 5/4 track and really want to be able to use Launchpad for it. I’m using another percussion app for world beat instruments and it does support 5/4, 7/4, etc. But even using Ableton Link and doing math to get the beats to line up, the downbeat is invariably in the wrong place, at least four times out of five. You would be heroes if you could add this as an option!

please bring the old soundpacks back. I was thinking about getting a soundpack and the next day its gone, i think some of the old one’s are some of the best to, its nice that the store is a little more organized but some of those soundpacks were worth keeping...anyway LOVE the app, i think it deserves a number one spot on the music making apps👍, oh and one more thing, can you make songs made (in the “recordings” part) like a playlist, that we can edit (slide up and down), i dont know why it bothers me but im pretty much OCD

Dig it LARGE!. Whether I simply get bored at the airport or have a good song idea, Launchpad lets me sketch - and it almost always surprises me with the outcome because of the breadth of sounds and sources combined with the "limitations" of a Key-Structure box. Nice challenge that, thinking outside the box… I am smiling! I would like to see chord/key changes within the song - perhaps along the lines of arranging per measure ... Song structure... picky, picky. I adore this!!!

My suggestion. I personally love the app, I’ve made some great some from it. My suggestion would be to make a feature for users to be able to sync their music and projects to iCloud that way we can upload our projects from one device to another, because I have made a lot of songs and projects on my iPad using the app but cant transfer those same songs to launchpad on my iPhone.

What happened to the other 2 free sound packs?. I used to have launchpad on my old phone, then I got this one. I loved this app, so this was one of the first apps I downloaded. On my old phone, I had not purchased anything, but remember there being 11 free packs. Now there are only eight. The names of the packs now missing are dubstep, breaks, and trance. I noticed now in the description of the app that it says eight, so what happened? Great app, just disappointed that the other 3 were gone.

BEST GAME EVER!. OMG! I love this game so much, you can create songs, create your own styles of music, record your awesome beats, and so much more! I 1,000,000% recommend this to all the music lovers out there, this game is just the best I can’t stop playing music, I also love the feature where you can play other games while listening to launchpad! And one of the best parts are, you can turn your phone off, and still have it play! BEST GAME EVER!

Excellent. This app is one of the very best made apps ever made for IPhone and iPad: both as a music app that offers all kinds of possibilities, AND as a well-constructed app compared to any app of any kind in the entire Apple App Store. The makers of this app have created thousands of sound loops that are expertly balanced with each other, as if the best studio engineers are working invisibly in your phone or iPad. Tons of fun and options: enough to be able to put your own personal imprint on the tunes you make.

Yezzah!. I’ve used this app for years and I have to say that it has been a total and complete honor to have access to all of the wonderful samples that so many have created in order for so many to utilize to re arrange etc into something enjoyable. I truly believe that this application has helped me out and through some very trying times, thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart :)
