Speaking about Launch Pads I’m confused. First, it seems that Ketron leaves an explanation part to enthusiasts, or did I just miss an official video?
Second, it’s not clear, how can wave files be suitable for accompaniment, there’re just too many possible chords to follow.
Forgive me for skepticism (ignorance), but is it really more than just taking advantage of the fact that memory is very cheap today and it doesn’t take much thinking to put a lot of wave samples into a keyboard? By the way, Dexibell is also about audio accompaniment, and I’m skeptical and ignorant about that as well.
Tthe launchpads can both work as an arranger type accompaniment as well as a sequencer, with preprogrammed chord progression.. so i guess you either need to play the right chords.. or preprogram your chords...
Could also work more like an arpegiator, where the audio file gets transposed up or down based on the mainchord... but then you would keep minor and major differences and it would require the keyboard to know the scale youre playing in...
So basically i guessed normal wav files work best with preprogramme dprogressions
