Applies to Launchpad X

For a video guide and more tutorials, see here.

To set the Launchpad X up with Ableton Live 11 please connect your Launchpad and then open Ableton. 

Then go to the Preferences (Options > Preferences on Windows, Ableton Live > Preferences on macOS) and go to the Link/Tempo/MIDI tab:

Then select the Launchpad X Control Surface: 

And then set the Launchpad X DAW Out and DAW In (Launchpad_X_Input on Windows) for the Input and Output ports and then match the settings below:

Note that enabling MPE for the input port means that all MIDI channels are in use, so it's not possible to set a track to discretely respond to one MIDI channel. You may wish to disable it if not using Polyphonic Aftertouch data from the pads.
