Launchpad X and MPC One?

Not much I can add from the title of the post, do these play well together?
Anyone with experience with the usb midi functionality of the One overall?

I use the Launchpad with the MPC Live, I figure the experience would be parallel.

I love it. I don't do it through USB, I do it through MIDI as the MPC X needs power and I'm unsure the MPC Live can support the Launchpad's power requirement (it might, just never tried), they make up my current portable setup. The other thing I love is the Launchpad's standalone MIDI control makes it perfect to snap into any other device I bring with and record into the MPC.

Bah, I don't mean the X, I use the MK3 - the newest one with a built in MIDI sequencer.

Apologies for the necropost (and on a first post too), but has anyone here tried using the Launchpad as a sidecar controller to trigger clips? I noted on my LPP (the OG Pro), I noted that the pads have to be held to trigger the loops, and it only runs as a one shot, it can't be toggled and looped in any manner (I have to release and hold it down again to play the loop). I tried asking the new Akai forum, but was on deaf ears.

I was thinking that it was because the pads on the LPP don't act like a toggle, but there has to be some sort of workaround, I wanted to use clips to help make my live set more fluid, and streamline my setup for actual on the go use. I really hope I don't have to flip my setup, I'd like to blow more money on synths and FX before I get utilities like MIDI controllers.
