This update pretty much just adds what should've been present from the jump. Velocity sensitivity would've been a great addition, a few knobs wouldn't hurt either for handling Macros.

Novation puts out great products, I don't want to imply otherwise, I'm just a bit shocked that a little more wasn't added, especially with Push released.

RGB really does seem like a no brainer at this point. I was also believeing it, forgot to mention in my previous post.

04.04.2013		Hopefully it's USB port will be reinforced against bumps unlike the original (RIP my Launchpad )

I actually have no use for this now, having a Kontrol F1 and soon to have another, I do all my Ableton work with the F1 and keyboard commands and it's fast enough. Shame, I really enjoyed my year with the Launchpad.

(Hopefully it's got more versatile MIDI mapping as well, because the original one SUCKED)
