I have a Launchpad S and a Mini, and I use the Launchpad95 script with both. It takes some time to learn; I would recommend going through the documentation and getting used to each of the different modes at a time, instead of trying to do everything at once.

The way I've been working is like this: I use the drum sequencer mode to create a few drum clips that I like, mostly based on what I learned from the book Drum Programming: A Complete Guide to Program and Think Like a Drummer.

For other instruments I use the melodic step sequencer. I usually chose a scale depending on my mood, and then I use the random button to create a few patterns, until I find a few that I like. In addition, I also add some chords using the melodic step sequencer, creating some pads for the song.

Once I have enough clips for drums, bass, pads and leads I record an arrangement by using the Launchpad in session mode to launch clips. And when I have an arrangement that I'm happy with I'll record the automation of volume and filter parameters on top of it, using a Launch Control.

These are both dead-tree books and digital resources.

Live itself:

  • The manual/built-in tutorials
  • Jon Margulies' 365 Live Tips from a few years back (best after you've gone through the manual and know what most of the Live features are)
  • Margulies also wrote a book, Live 9 Power, that's supposed to be good but I haven't read it

    Synth/creative stuff:

  • Welsh's Synthesizer Cookbook
  • The Dance Music Manual by Rick Snoman
  • Any music theory book
  • The manual to your favorite synth or effect (just pick one you like and dive in deep)

    Production:

  • The Mixing Engineer's handbook by Bobby Owsinski
  • Practical Recording Techniques (more about traditional recording but I've found that to be very useful)
  • Zen and the Art of Mixing by Mixerman
  • Mastering Audio by Bob Katz (haven't read it but it's been well-recommended)

Find sample packs with sounds you like and make your own racks.

Then, go learn music theory. If you don't know the basics (never played any instrument) it will be hard to do anything good.

I'm a drummer, so I have a hardtime with notes and chords, so I started reading a music theory book for computer musicians. It's not great and it can be hard if you don't know nothing, but it sure helps.
