I'm looking for a 64 pad velocity and touch sensitive midi controller. It seems the Novation Launchpad Pro, but I don't need lights (especially ones that don't work with Sonar) and it's note mode is set to chromatic with each row and 4th above.
 
I have the Korg NanoPad, and it has 4 scenes for different midi mappings, which are easily editable. I've considered second one, by my inquiry from Korg was 'try it, I think it will work', and I'd like more that 32 ideally
 
Any suggestions?
 
 
If this was touch and velocity sensitive it would be perfect

 

Launchpad Pro is is going to be the least expensive option.
 
Push is also very nice (albeit much more expensive).
Push features are pretty limited with 3rd party DAW applications (those other than Live).
You have to use a 3rd-party utility called "Shove"... to allow selecting notes/controllers.

Good grief, who comes up with these names... Push... Shove... Assault (NI)... Battery (also NI)... I am frightened to use my DAW now :(

Thanks, I was hoping there would be something without the lights that would be cheaper, but this seems it. For once it seems easily available in Vietnam and Cheaper than the UK
 
I've just noticed they have a firmware update that provides a scale mode, so that's a major obstacle out of the way fr what I want it for.
 
Trying to find out how sensitive it is, but most  abetone users don't seem to care abut it velocity sensitive pads in their demos. The Korg Nano pad effectively runs for 27-127, seems no worse than my old MAudio trigger finger

Apparently the pad sensitivity is just 'Okay'

Re-mapping keys in general is not a big problem. Sonar does not allow to do this before saving notes, but allow to do this "on the fly" in MFX processors and these processors can be (quickly) bounced.
Alternatively, external (software) MIDI translators can be used to map notes before they enter Sonar.
 
I am not sure any ready to use solutions are there for Launchpad, but something simple it not hard to DIY quickly.
Well, not on the level of mentioned "Shove" for Ableton Push (which is specially written for it external MIDI mapper which is then used with loopback).
 

Re-mapping wouldn't have worked for me, as the note mode set each chromatic row a fourth above. Not starting at where the last row finished. meaning each row repeats the same notes. The first 2 rows of 16 pads is only 12 notes, not 16. The reason I want 64 pads, is a want 64 notes. So the Firmware update makes this possible.
