120 Minutes to Make a TUNE (Only Launchkey + Klevgrand Plugins Allowed)

video upload by Novation

"We teamed up with @klevgrand to set ourselves a challenge - can our in-house music producers create a track in 2 hours, using only a MIDI keyboard and a limited set of plugins?

Back in early summer, our very own Vini from Novation and Lucas from Klevgrand met for the first time in Berlin and set themselves the ultimate challenge: producing a track from scratch in only two hours. With just a Launchkey Mini 37, Logic Pro, and the full suite of Klevgrand plugins to hand, how did they get on?
