Does the Launchpad support cross-fade between A and B for Ableton Live according to the manual?
AI Answer
- Short answer: no. The Launchpad/UG never mentions Live's crossfader or the A/B Crossfade Assign buttons.
- Session Mode track controls are Record Arm, Mute, Solo, Volume, Pan, Send, Device and Stop Clip (Launchpad/UG/05 Session Mode/04 Track Controls). None of them controls the crossfader.
- Custom Modes can act as CC faders. Custom 2 ships as eight bipolar horizontal faders on MIDI CC 15–22, which "can be mapped in a DAW" (Launchpad/UG/08 Custom Modes/02 Default Custom Modes).
- Workaround, not in the Launchpad guide: Live's crossfader maps to any continuous MIDI control (Ableton/Live/UG/18 Mixing/05 Using Live's Crossfader). Use MIDI Map Mode (Ableton/Live/UG/34 MIDI and Key Remote/02 The Mapping Browser/01 Assigning MIDI Remote Control) to map one Custom 2 horizontal fader to the crossfader. Each track's A/B assignment is still set in Live.
- Checked against the garden's import of the guide, not Novation's original PDF.
