Accessibility Comments

This app is very accessible. The pads are labeled very well. Although, there are a lot of cases in the app where buttons will read that they are dimmed, when they are in fact clickable. Most notably, the effect buttons at the bottom; You can double tap and hold on them to trigger them.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

Other Comments

This app is better when it is linked to another app or hardware device(e.g. GarageBand or any others supporting AudioBus, or a hardware synthesizer). Now that Ableton Live is accessible, you can try it with that too.

How do you use the efect buttons at the bottom of the screen? I can't seem to figure it out.

hi, I have spent several hours with Launchpad, but I cannot seem to figure out how to use it. I would appreciate any advice on resources that may be available for effectively learning to use Launchpad with voiceover. Thanks in advance, Keith
