This project is a launchpad performance of a trance-style track I produced. It utilized Ableton Live’s Session View and its direct integration with the Novation Launchpad. The track utilizes original sound design; all synth sounds were designed by me in Serum. All samples used, kick, clap, and hi-hats were heavily processed with various effects such as compression, saturation, reverb, delay, and EQ. The mastering plugin Ozone 8 was used for the EQ’ing and some rudimentary mastering.

Attached is an audio recording of the live performance I did, and an image of the launchpad and Live's Session View.

Out of this project I learned that Session View is actually really useful, because of it's ability as a live performance tool. I am planning to experiment with using Session View to produce my tracks, and performing them in combination with the launchpad and a more standard MIDI keyboard. I can the record the performance into Live's Arrangement View, which I was what I did when I performed the track in class, and that is the recording uploaded here.

===Description:===
For the composition, I made a tropical house style track. I knew that was the style I was going for, so I first created a beat, pretty simple 4 to the floor kick, clap on 2 and 4 with a prerecorded top loop sample. I then created a chord progression and put it to a rhythm. To develop a melody, I used a “random” technique by taking a pen and paper and drawing a line on it. This was completely free-form, and this was the very first thing I did to develop a melody. I made the melody follow the line I drew, thus implementing randomness into this project.
The other concept I implemented into this project was interactivity using a novation launchpad. I exported the completed track as a .wav file and loaded it into a new Ableton set, chopped it up into samples and loaded them onto the launchpad. This makes it so that a specific pad is mapped to a sample(technically this is also mapping), and the sample plays when the pad is triggered. If I was provided with maybe another week for this project I might have been able to develop light effects for each sample, so that the final project includes a track and a light show, however, there simply isn’t enough time with my other classes for me to develop a light show. Also, I need more experience performing with the launchpad before I attempt something like that, however, I also plan to do it.

Feel free to check this out. I may or may not put stuff on it as I produce more music.
