Default Anybody got launchpad?

I'm not talking about lunch

The novation Launchpad. Mini in particular. I'm thinking of adding it to the Reaper. Will it be useful with reaper or does it loose the potential once outside Ableton?

Anybody got it with Reaper?

I have the original launchpad but I've only ever used it in Live not sure what I would use it for in Reaper. I have just picked up a Launch Control that I can see more use for in Reaper because of all the knobs.

Used to have the original for use with Ableton Live. I found it was more suited for live use so I decided to sell it. The non-velocity sensitive pads were killing me so I decided to get something else.

Overall, great controller for Ableton Live since it's already mapped and ready to go out of the box - I don't know how it will function in Reaper.

Launchpad can be used as additional shortcut keys for Reaper's actions (though if you don't write on the buttons or attach some stickers on them, it might be tough to remember what button is for what action...)

I've myself done some experiments with Justin's new midi2osc tool, various things for controlling effects or Reaper's mixer can be implemented by generating OSC messages in response to the keys pressed on the Launchpad. This requires writing some custom script code, though.

It is second rate with Ableton compared to what it does in FLS and you can run FLS as a plugin in Reaper (Not entirely sure why you would run Reaper at all when using Launchpad as a performance controller anyway, but hey you asked)
