Since the update to Live that moved the Push 2 out of the Control Surface slots in Live Preferences you’ll need to add a line to your options.txt file to revert to the previous treatment of both scripts.

The LaunchSync Series began life over the coffee table in the office of Novation, the team there had an idea of syncing together their LaunchPad family with the forthcoming LaunchControl XL. As we developed the idea it became apparent that everyone has a different view of what made the perfect performance set up, whether it be an Ableton Push based one or revolve around an APC40MKII the same things became clear!

Maybe the best of all Isotonik tools, at least for me. Mandatory if you are playing alive with Ableton Live, in my opinion. When playing alive, the main problem is move around your tens of Tracks, knowing where you are instantly, and avoid messing with more than on MIDI controller. Solved with LaunchSync.
Great after-sales assistance and advice to help me sync my 2 Xone K2s. The support was prompt and very helpful, and I will certainly be a returning customer.
Isotonik team !! you rock , you know it !!
The Graal to simplify multi midi controller set up in ableton!
Using LaunchSync with Push 2 and a LaunchControl XL is as close as I’ve experienced to making working with Live like working on hardware. The way LaunchSync glues everything together has made Live so much more fun to work with that I now miss hardware less and less. Also, shoutout to Isotonik support. Super responsive and always helpful.
Works great. Had some issues at first with my system (history of Max Live Devices “Track Select” that hijack the Undo/Redo, which was a “no-go” for me), but Darren did a fix for my particuliar situation. Great support. Now works flawless. 🙂
I was looking for a quick’n’dirty way to sync my Novation Launchpad and move around scene with 16 x 8 and that’s just what i found. This can be a very easy setup if you RTFM .D (and, err, understand it ;). Otherwise, great after buy support here. Thanks again.
You can probably get very complicated stuff setup as well but that’ll be for another day for me ^^
Hi Louis, Surprised to see a poor score based on a feature that’s not advertised, the auto follow feature relies on the API to read the selected track and then syncs based on that. No one else has requested such a feature but I’m sure something could be arranged if you want a custom version built. Please get in touch via the support channel using the Contact Us Option in the header of the website.
Thanks you a lot for that quick and passionated response.
I just contacted you trying to go ahead with your proposal. 🙂
It is a way for me to put Push 2 more in a vintage straight-forward working, or so to approach the “each thing its place” style
I got what I wanted! A movable red box / green box / blue box / focus ring box (really just depends on what place in Ableton’s script list in preferences your controller occupies) that snaps to my selected or highlighted scene. I have selected scene mapped to a rotary encoder on the APC40 mkII, so now I can just turn that to scroll up and down and have the focus ring follow along perfectly! So much more useful. Darren helped me out when I had an issue with the actual scene itself not being triggered by the plugin (rather just the clips within the scene, ignoring scene specific BPM and time signature changes) by providing a different version that DOES trigger the scene itself if you’re not using track “exclusions”. Since I didn’t need exclusions, this worked great for me. Thanks again for all the help and great service!
did not work for me tried everything it will not show ring focal boxes very disappointing
For anyone else reading this review, MaxforLive cannot create a Ring Focus Box for a controller that does not have one. The Novation LaunchControl XL is such a controller, whilst it’s focus can be controlled and synced with LaunchSync XL you will not see an on screen box, all updates to the position would be written to the Yellow information box at the bottom of the screen.
If you’re rocking multiple controllers this is a nice way to keep them clean.

“In live electronic music, the endless free expanse of the computer screen tends to run up against the limited ability of your brain to tell just which freakin’ track am I on, anyway? In the studio, it can be annoying. Live onstage, it can be train wreck-inducing.
Ableton Live’s Session View has for years exacerbated this problem. You can limit your options to eight (or even four) tracks. But that doesn’t always work. You might need more than eight tracks for particular routings of audio or MIDI. And unless you use Device Racks and chains, you’ll also need extra tracks to switch instruments.
LaunchSync XL is a solution to that problem. Instead of all of your controllers going their own way and controlling different parts of Live separately, they can now move in tandem. So, rather than doing scrolling on multiple devices and squinting at the screen to see where the heck you are, you can navigate on one controller and everything else follows.”
With the launch of Live 10 we knew that we’d need to go back to the drawing board and rewrite the code from scratch, advances in the way the control surface scripts for Live have been written mean that we are now able to provide compatibility for every controller that has an onscreen RedBox (Ring Focus Box to use the official terminology).
In addition to supporting the factory scripts included in Ableton Live 10 we also provide support for our enhanced range of control surface scripts from Sigabort
PLEASE NOTE: The Exclude feature is not compatible with Scene Follow Actions in Live 11.
PLEASE NOTE: Not compatible with Push 3 Standalone
Since the update to Live that moved the Push 2 out of the Control Surface slots in Live Preferences you’ll need to add a line to your options.txt file to revert to the previous treatment of both scripts.

Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live. When you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
.amxd files – These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
Control Surface Scripts – Please refer to the individual User Guides provided with your download, an abridged version of the installation will be shown further down this page.
ClyphX Pro – Please refer directly to the manual and installation video for this specific product.
Novation Circuit Packs – These are provided as individual Sysex Files and as a complete bank file. All are to be installed using a version of the Circuit Editor and not via Novations Components back up utility.
