ALSO: This should go without saying but take care of your launchpad! If you wipe it don't expect it to be properly responsive until fully dry and even then wiping it can have risks if the liquid goes inside. Similarly, do not bang it and probably don't leave it upside down (especially if for long periods of time) in case it causes the velocity sensitivity to go weird. Treat it as an instrument. If you do all this, it should be fine to use it for its intended purpose: just don't press ''too'' hard; try not press with more velocity than the buttons actually require, if possible. (Because of my silliness (not heeding such obvious procedures) there is a possibility that I may have weared my launchpad slightly in that I think I now require more pressure for the pressure-sensitive pads. I thought it responsible to add this note about taking care of your launchpad, as we are technically using it in a nonstandard way by treating the buttons as though they were just insensitive pads that require extra velocity/pressure.)
