What is the best way to get started with the Novation Launchpad for beginners?

I'm new to the Novation Launchpad and want to learn how to make music with it. Any tips, beginner tutorials, or software recommendations would be really helpful!

For beginners, start by downloading the free Launchpad app or connecting it to a DAW like Ableton Live (which often comes bundled). Learn the basics of triggering loops and samples, then practice simple beat-making. Watching beginner tutorials and experimenting with light shows or sample packs is a fun way to get comfortable.

It is always good to begin with small details and add effects and own sounds.

1. Install the free Launchpad software Ableton Live Lite.
2. Begin with the simplest tutorials about grid pads, clip launching and rudimentary beats.
3. Watch YouTube video lessons on how to play a finger drum, how to use effects.
4. Button mapping practice with pre-made project files.
