Ok so i bought a launchpad, hooked it up installed the drivers, never showed up on control surfaces in preferences. so i returned it, and got an akai mpd24 and installed the drivers and all that, and its not showing up undercontrol surfaces either, any ideas so i can get this thing to work properly with ableton?? i have the latest version of ableton 7. thanks.

well i really hope there is another way around this, cuz i dont have the bones to drop into a new ableton, what about if i got a cd key from someone? a couple of my buddys have cd keys, so i could use thiers. also i tried to download the demo of 8 and it keeps erroring on me so i cant even do that.

i think you can only use the launchpad with 8. maybe u coulde use it as a generic midi device

ok so i got the mpd24's knobs and sliders to work with ableton, but the only thing i cant do now is control the drums in impulse with the pads? any suggestions? also is there any way to map the rate change in albino to one of the knobs or sliders?
