launchpad out of ableton help

i am looking forward to buying a novation launchpad,
altought before i need to know a couple of things:
does all of the functions apply in all softwares? ex: the user modes, can i still use them to select the modes of all of the 64 buttons?

can i use the mixer function out of ableton? to control a knob in a vst per example

im not going to use the launchpad in music software, i want to use it with a lighting control software named martin lightjockey to trigger cues, if any of you have any experiences with that and midi, let me know

Can pretty much get the launchpad to do whatever you want for any software with a little work.

Found this: http://www.martin.com/fORUM/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19913

what kind of work? can you name some software names please

outside of ableton/automap the launchpad just sends a fixed midi note/css per button and will set the led based on midi feedback to the same note/cc

it’s automap+ableton (not sure how much of each) that gives u the multiple pages and virtual mixer etc etc

you can use my midimasher to do the same thing. the default launchpad config gives u 4 virtual pages with led feedback and a virtual mixer on one of them, but u can configure what u want if you’re willing to learn/code some LUA.

where can i find you midimasher?

look just a tiny bit harder :stuck_out_tongue:
