The Launchpad and Style are mutually exclusive so it's either or. The great thing about the Launchpad is creativity is now totally in the hands of the musician. You can combine up to 3 waves and 9 midi phrases which you can decide to either have chord progressions within or follow your lead on progression. We also added a new CHORD RECORDER (similar to Chord sequencer) which allows you to write or record your chord progression ... then simply touch a pad(s) and have it(them) follow that progression. You can also determine which pad(s) follow the progression and which don't.

Other professional applications of the Launchpad include being able to record complete audio phrases and play along with them in sync to the tempo of the over all Launchpad. This means the line between audio and midi just got a lot thinner with the SD9 PRO. With STYLE IMPORT and MODELLING, you can take advantage of style tracks (Ch1, Ch2 ...etc) and LIVE GUITARS to build complex scenes (up to 6) per performance. With controls like VOL, REV, CHO and EFX for each scene, only your imagination will limit you.

Here is a screen shot just to give you an idea.....

Hope you now have a better understanding of the new Launchpad....
