The Launch Control XL became a true extension to the Circuit. Like the Circuit, I also have to remember what all the knobs do on the LCXL since there are no labels. Without needing to use the iConnectMIDI4 software, the devices started working together right away. I was able to load the mappings using my Macbook Pro instead. It turns out Novation is aware of the problem. Using Windows 10, I had a problem loading the custom mappings from Novation into the LCXL. My first attempt was to use the Launch Control XL (LCXL) with the Novation Circuit. The device also has several DIN MIDI ports and USB ports for complex routing setups.

With the growing popularity of synthesizer apps for IOS devices, I have the option of utilizing the iConnectMIDI4 between my iPad and DAW. I also bought it due to the feature of audio over USB. I chose the iConnectMIDI4 since I had a 20% off coupon at Guitar Center to reduce the price. Some make the mistake of getting simple USB to MIDI adapter and discover they do not work. The most popular USB to MIDI adapters for this set up is the iConnectMIDI4 and the Kenton USB MIDI Host.

Unfortunately, the accessory needed to make this happen is some what costly.
