Novation Introduces Scales Mode Firmware Update for the Launchpad Pro
Novation // Launchpad Pro - Scales Mode
"Introducing Scale Mode, now available in the latest firmware update for Launchpad Pro. Expanding upon the existing Note Mode, the new Scales Mode browser really opens up the ability to use Launchpad Pro as an expressive musical instrument whilst retaining it’s ability to offer intuitive control over Ableton Live and external hardware in Standalone mode. Here, Harry Coade takes us through some of the scales in this performance, utilising the Bass Station 2 to highlight scales mode and hardware control.

Novation // Launchpad Pro - Scales Mode Introduction
Published on Aug 11, 2016 NovationTV
Update: and the press release:
"Novation today launched an update to the Launchpad Pro grid controller, which brings immense playability to what is already a feature-packed Ableton Live controller. The new functionality — implemented with an easy and free firmware update — adds a Scale Mode to the ubiquitous controller, enabling any Ableton Live user to effortlessly play and record perfectly in-key basslines, melodies, chords and leads.
Until now, Note mode used a ‘chromatic fourths’ layout, which requires an element of expertise to learn the position of the notes in your preferred scale. With the new Scale function, simply press Launchpad Pro’s Shift and Note buttons, then choose from a roster of 32 keys and modes, from major and minor, through phrygian, whole tone, bebop minor, iwato, etc. Once selected, Launchpad Pro’s 64 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads will assign themselves contiguously to only the notes of the selected scale, removing all the rest.
Seven Overlap options enable the relative positioning of notes on each row to be offset, changing the chords generated by any given finger positioning. For fans of the original note format, chromatic fourths mode keeps the pads assigned to the chromatic series but highlights the notes of the selected scale, so you can see which notes are in key, but still play the notes in between if you want to.
Scale mode isn’t just for Ableton Live; you can use it to play virtual instruments in any other DAW, as well as your hardware synths. Launchpad Pro does not require connection to a computer; it can send MIDI via its 1/8th-inch output (and an included 5-pin Din adapter), so you can play external synths without a keyboard controller.
How to update your Launchpad Pro
To update your Launchpad Pro, just download the latest Firmware from the Support pages of the Novation website, connect your Launchpad Pro and run the installer. It’s really simple.

DAVE SMITH EVOLVER Analog/Digital 4 Oscillator DSI Desktop Synth SN 02232

"The original desktop Evolver is a compact monophonic synthesizer that packs an amazing amount of sonic power into a small package. It features two analog oscillators and two digital oscillators utilizing the waves from the legendary Prophet VS. Classic Curtis analog lowpass filters and real analog VCAs round out the analog section. But what really sets the Evolver apart from the rest of the pack is the way in which analog and digital are integrated. The LFOs, step sequencer, and three separate delays can all be synced for massive, rhythmic, time-based effects in stereo.
