I have access to 24 knobs, 8 faders, and 16 buttons x 8 USER and 7 Factory presets...so I could control a ton of parameters with it (which was the point of buying it). The two are the same size, and the XL does for Live's Mixer what the S did for Clip launching, offering plenty of hands-ons control in a straightforward, compact unit.

Getting Started Guide

Grab a Launchpad. Now you can launch your clips from a grid of pads that match your session. Add a Launch Control XL and take hands-on control of your filters, effects and instruments too. The sturdy design makes it ideal for live performance, but it's quite at home as a mixing tool in the studio too." If you only see one MIDI port, select ‘Configuration’ > ‘New Configuration’ and name the new configuration ‘HUI’. Don't expect to be able to use either of those with Groovebox, I think Launchkey is the only supported controller. Also pretty sure they won't work with Cubasis mixer either, you can use it with synths/FX hosted in Cubasis though .Combined with Launchpad's intuitive 64-button grid, Launch Control XL provides unrivalled simultaneous control over Ableton Live's session view, mixer, effects, and instruments – it’s never been easier to craft the perfect mix. The lower row of buttons is used for Mute, Solo or Record Arm. You can chose which parameter you want to control using the ‘Mute’, ‘Solo’ and ‘Record Arm’ buttons on the right-hand side of the unit. Extended Parameter Device Control – User Six Mode 24 Pots control AutoMaps to the parameters of the currently in focus device, with the configuration of the Device_32 parameter you can extend this to include the 8 fades taking each bank to be 32 parameters. The third row of knobs can map to whatever device is currently selected. Automatically without mapping. Novation are excited to announce an extension to the standard limited warranty, which comes with all new products.

I had this very dilema and spent almost a month deciding what to get. I went for the launchpad with Control XL. The Control XL only works fully…with live 9.1.4. The quality of the unit is good, it`s solid enough..and the faders are long which is how I like it. The APC faders are much shorther. The Control XL with Launchpad S is a pretty awesome combo though, and both units are better quality that the new APC40 mk 2. Pro Tools will also not allow the 4th dial in the second row to be assigned to parameters as it treats the message as park of a bank select fine message. FunctionalityOk, I tried. There is a MIDI script. It only works with the Factory Preset 1, which gives you 8 knobs in total to control the Device. Due to the Pro Tools HUI implementation, the centre detent of the LaunchControl XL pan pots will not directly correspond to the centre position of Pro Tool’s pan pots. If using a Mac, please open the ‘Audio MIDI Setup’ application on your Mac, select ‘Window’ > ‘Show MIDI Studio’ and in the ‘MIDI Studio’ window, ensure the Launch Control XL is showing two MIDI ports - ‘Launch Control XL’ and ‘HUI’ as shown below: Settings for pads and buttons include the ability to set the control type (Note or CC), set the Press type to Momentary (press to turn a value on, release to set it off) or Toggle (press once for on value, press again for off). This is sometimes referred to as 'blue hand' behavior. It gives you 8 parameters to control at a time with a bank select. In the case of the EQ I forget what each bank does but there is a handy note that shows up at the bottom of the screen when you switch banks.

If you are interested in diving deep into custom mappings and bulk editing the .syx file using hex editors and python and stuff I found this. https://www.reddit.com/r/novationcircui ... &context=3 hi - yeah i havent mapped much because with the control surface thing i found i dont really have to but ive done a few things and the midi mappings are still there - 5 of them at the moment in preset user 1. my macro mappings are still there too Produced by Sigabort the LaunchControl XXL Remote script doesn’t require Max4Live, when used in conjunction with the LaunchControl XL you’ll find all the standard functionality with two new User Modes and a few key enhancements… LAUNCHCONTROL XXL – SESSION CONTROL

INSTALLATION:

In the case of EQ Eight, for example, the first bank sees the knobs controlling each band's on/off state, the second band frequency, the third band Gain, and so on. The ideal use for this device would be the ability to treat a VST like a full-fledged hardware synth...with that number of controls, it makes no sense not to give us that option. Once you have the editor running, connect your Launch Control XL. You then need to load the templates one at a time and save them to your unit. The steps are: Set to user mode I can midi map each of 24 knobs to reflect the 8 EQ options, in EQ8, each row for frequency, gain and Q.
