I tested on Windows and Linux, ,no issues at all with drivers or other connectivity problems.
For my application it works great. I am able to map the sliders and nobs and buttons to VCV Rack with no issue.
The unit is plastic but with a metal feel. It is very solid, does not feel cheap. Small foot print saves space but its not so small that its difficult to deal with. Everything has a good feel the action is smooth with slight resistance, Just enough to feel comfortable.
I really don't think you can beat this for the price. I just wish someone would make a unit specific to VCV.
I use the Launch Control XL with a Launchpad X, and the two devices together are amazingly capable. There are very few features I would want that are not available when using these two devices together.
The Novation costs about $50 more than the Akai, but I feel like the price difference is well worth it!
I only took off one (half) star because it is not a simple process to edit the LEDs on the pads to do what I want, compared to Livid's Ohm editor software that makes it very easy. Unlike the Ohm, there is no option to edit any LED controls from the Novation editor software; it appears I would have to program it myself using other software, which I am not knowledgeable about whatsoever. It came with a programmers manual but it's like another language to me. I was able to individually map all the controls to GrandVJ very easily, but since I'm not using Ableton or a program that has a template for the Novation, the LEDs only light up momentarily when I am switching templates, and are otherwise off all of the time. So for now I'm basically using it without any LEDs, and those are half the fun of a controller, especially this one since it has four different colors. I don't even need the LEDs to have feedback; I was hoping to have the row of pads be set to one color LED per template, and have them be constantly on simply so I can see the controller better. That's how I have my Ohm set up and it was slightly disappointing to get the LC and not be able to easily configure it like that.
It allows the user to have tactile, physical control of ANY parameter that can be mapped to it, and even offers custom User Profiles, for creating your own control maps.
The LCXL also works with Novation Components and this makes it easy to work with, along with my other Novation gear, when working in Components.
10/10 - would buy again
