loop-launchpad-pro

Novation Launchpad PRO bindings for loop-grid for using with Loop Drop.

This code is heavily derived from the Novation Launchpad bindings developed by Matt McKegg, with the buttons correctly mapped for Novation's Launchpad PRO.

Note - you must put your Launchpad PRO in to "programmer" mode for the best experience (press setup and the 5th button on the top row).

Todo

  • Support for the Launchpad PRO's velocity sensitive pads
  • Support for controller aftertouch
  • Support for RGB lights on the PRO.

Controller Mapping

Trigger sounds using the main grid on the Launchpad PRO hardware that corresponds to the interface grid that you have added chunks to.

Beat Repeat

The side buttons (marked with right arrows) on the Launchpad enable beat repeat mode as follows:

  • None (free play),
  • 1
  • 2/3
  • 1/2
  • 1/3
  • 1/4
  • 1/6
  • 1/8

When beat repeat is enabled, hold down a trigger on the main grid, and it will be continuously triggered at the selected rate to the project tempo specified. This allows you to play in perfect time with the tempo.

Store Loop

By default the last 2 bars of everything you play is being recorded. The top buttons (1-8) control the current loop. Press 1/Up arrow to start looping the events you just played.

Clear / Flatten

When no transformations are currently active (no beat repeat held or active suppression), 2/Down arrow clears the currently playing loop, otherwise it locks in the current transform.

Undo / Redo

Top buttons 3 and 4 (the left and right page buttons) trigger undo or redo of stored loop on press.

Beat Hold

Top button 5/Session will loop the currently playing beat at the rate specified by the Beat Repeat buttons when held down. You can lock in the loop by pressing the Flatten button (2/down arrow) at the same time.

Suppress

Top button 6/Note will suppress all current playback when held down. You can lock that in by pressing the Flatten button (2/down arrow) at the same time.

Select / Move

To select buttons, hold down top button 8/user, and press some buttons on the grid and release. You can now hold Suppress to mute the selected slots, or hold another button on the grid to move/offset the loop events.

Loop Length

Hold select (8/user) and press the undo (3/left arrow) button to halve loop length or redo (4/right arrow) to double.
