I’ve checked firmware, tried different USB cables, turned off USB power saving for the internal USB hub, all without any luck. Sometimes during operation, it would get stuck with one or a few keys lit and stopped responding to any input, so I had to reconnect the USB cable.

Please let me know if you also had problems with pad sensitivity and how you resolved those. I’ve also seen the video about the different Launchpad controllers, but two units with problems make me wonder if I’m doing something wrong… Is that “normal” that these pad controllers have sensitivity issues? I watched Rob’s YouTube videos and those recommendations led me to the Maschine Mikro. I don’t have the budget to buy a “pro” unit.Īny suggestions on what to do? I think I could get a 3rd replacement unit, but if there’s something that’s better than the Maschine Mikro (in more or less that price range), I’d go for that. The second unit however has the same problem on a different pad. The store was nice enough to send me an exchange unit right away after discussing the matter with Native Instruments. I had some issues with one pad that sometimes got stuck - either it stayed lit or wouldn’t trigger. I didn’t like the sensitivity (even though I changed it to the most sensitive level), so I returned it and got a Maschine Mikro instead.

I started out with the Launchpad X, cause I thought I wanted more than 16 pads to also be able to play melodies. So it seems that my personal quest for groove is also the quest for a usable controller.
