Launchpad Step Sequencer Lauflicht 3 - Full Details

This is a follow-up to the video posted here.

"An upgrade of the step sequencer "Lauflicht" for the Novation Launchpad to the version 3 has been released. The plugin for Renoise is a moving light, multitrack and multitimbral step sequencer with 8, 16 or 32 steps, turning your Launchpad(s) into a hardware step sequencer. It was especially designed for editing beats, melodies and patterns without the mouse in order to allow an intuitive workflow in the studio or an excellent possibility to perform live.

The version 3 has two new core features: multiple Launchpads support and a new pattern load and mix mode in real time.

If more than one Launchpad is connected to the computer, the plugin will detect all Launchpads automatically and cascade them to one big hardware step sequencer. Two Launchpads will result into a hardware 16 step sequencer and four Launchpads will result into a hardware 32 step sequencer. With the different note resolution modes and unlimited tracks this setup leads to a huge level of granularity and in-depth step sequencing.

The pattern load mode enhances the variety of sequencing in live situations. While the current pattern plays, it is possible to switch between up to 16 different patterns instantly by pressing an appropriate button on the Launchpad. This makes it easy to arrange and build up a new song sequentially. To mix between patterns, or to create a seamless transition or a surprising break in your performance also a split pattern can be selected, which contains the half of the available tracks, and loaded into the currently playing pattern. In the studio or on the stage - it is really fun to switch between the patterns.

Besides these two new features, a lot of other improvements found their way into version 3. For example, presets for the control matrix can be stored to modulate up to eight different parameters of every single step of each track, like Filter-Cutoff, Delay, note value or any other controllable midi or vsti parameter.

Features:
- 8, 16 or 32 steps
- multiple Launchpads support: automatic detection of up to four Launchpads
- unlimited tracks, unlimited patterns
- set up for each track a sample, sample bank, a vst instrument or a Midi instrument of your choice
- chord mode: insert up to 3 notes in one track
- variable note resolution: 3 modes switchable (for example edit 1/2, 1/4 or 1/16 notes)
- quick clear: delete all steps of a track at once
- complete bidrectional Launchpad integration: all changes made with the Launchpad are visible in the software plugin at once and vice versa
- autoload: new patterns are loaded into the plugin/Launchpad display automatically on pattern change
- all parameters are editable during play in the plugin in real time
- keyboard mode: create melodies with a virtual keyboard in an intuitive and easy way
- powerful controller matrix: assign up to eight parameters to every single step, like filter cutoff, delay, velocity or any other controllable parameter and change them in real-time. Also the note values of the steps can be controlled.
- pattern load mode: switch between up to sixteen stored patterns in real time or even mix the tracks of two different patterns.
- easy installation of the plugin, all available Launchpads are detected automatically.

The Lauflicht Launchpad Step Sequencer 3 Plugin costs 24 Euro and is available on http://www.stepsequencer.net. It runs on runs on Windows, Mac and Linux, and there is also a new free demo version for the Launchpad available.
Requirements:
- Novation Launchpad(s)
