If clip launch is done like Ableton, then its looped samples all stretched to same bpm. Can be different lengths. 4 bar sample plays once during loop while two bar plays twice, one bar plays 4 times, etc
Clips can have wait times quantized so if you launch a clip and its on the wring timing, it will actually wait to start until it can sync correctly. You can also choose immediate launch, but make sure your timing is tight.
All timing synced up, but clips run independent. Means you could potentially load up 16 pads on 16 banks and pick and choose loops that run on them all synced. Haven't seen video, but thats how they run in Ableton. Ableton allows clips to be arranged horizontally in scenes and whole scenes can be launched with one click.
Kind of like pattern play on the mv8800. You can load up 16 patterns by 6 banks and live play your song. All timed right. Also record performance into song I believe. In the MV, you can use phrases to do this onto a single audio track in a pattern. The mv modes only allow pattern play with one pad at a time.
Beatmaker 2 on ipad does quantized launch, but not quite as accurate with longer wait times as Ableton. Beatmaker 3 should have full clip launching features though I think. BM2 allows recording these looped samples into sequencer to further edit or quantize. Also has choke groups so launching a new loop clip can choke off a loop playing if in the same choke group.
Trigger type can be set to loop, one shot, toggle, etc, multiple pads from multiple banks can run at the same time.
In Ableton, it is essentially the "Live" part of Ableton Live. You can have clips and scenes ready to launch and arrange in a live play and still record your whole performance spit out to multitrack regular tracks to further edit and finalize. Ableton takes it a step further by allowing midi clips also. You might have a midi clip (loop running 4 bars or something) output to a vst. It will sync up with audio clips easy. Also, the midi data will show up in arrangemen view as horizontal midi track and audio clips as horizontal audio tracks, while session view is clip view essentially and tracks arranged vertically.
Clip launch is a big deal if you want to play out your song and record your performance in the same program simultaneously.
I use to run my Korg padKontrol mapped to clips and scenes. They came out with APC40, then Push later for launching stuff live. Novation Launchpad too.
