Frequently Asked Questions
The pads are noticeably smaller, which can impact precision, but Novation has done a good job with the responsiveness to compensate.
While it functions as a generic MIDI controller, the deep integration and pre-mapped functionality are specifically designed for Ableton Live.
It's a decent introduction, but you'll likely want to upgrade to the full version of Ableton Live to unlock its full potential and expand your sound library.
