These installers will update your Launchpad MK2 with firmware version 171, which adds support for FL Studio 12.1.

Launch Control XL

New features:
— Added full class compliance (LaunchControl XL now supports use with MIDI-hosts like Kenton «MIDI USB Host» or iConnectivity «iConnect MIDI»)

Release notes for Firmware Updater 1.2 (firmware revision 59)

New features:
— Added HUI compatibility *
— Added additional MIDI port «LaunchControl XL HUI»

Fixes:
— Fixed crash: Sending Sysex Messages with values out of LaunchControl XL´s parameter range to the device

*Due to the Pro Tools HUI implementation, the centre detent of the LaunchControl XL pan pots will not directly correspond to the centre position of Pro Tool’s pan pots. The controls still work relatively to turn pans left and right. HUI is designed to work with encoders for pan and send controls. The Launch Control XL has pots rather than encoders which have an absolute position. In order to make these work we ‘emulate’ the operation of the encoders in firmware.

The pan and send controls don’t have pot pick-up, they move immediately from whatever position they are in. This is great if you want to make a small adjustment but you may find you hit the end of the pot’s physical travel before before the virtual control on screen. To correct for this you may need to turn the control from one end to the other in order to reset the range. You will need to do this when you first load a session, when you bank tracks (9-16, 17-24 etc.), or when you change from pan to send a, send b etc.

Project description

novation-launchpad

A Python library for launchpad mini, mk2 and pro devices with examples.

This library is based on the wonderful launchpad.py library by FMMT666. The only difference between this library and the other version is that this one uses python-rtmidi instead of PyGame.

It is also based on launchpad_rtmidi.py library by dhilowitz. The differences between this library and the other version is that this one uses callback function instead of poll for read data and support Python 3.

Tested on Launchpad Mk2 device.

Install

or clone de repo and install with

Show the exmaples folder.

• Use the Launchpad like a Piano
• Show 8×8 rgb images
• Get the firmware version
• Create a fake Launchpad MIDI ports

I don’t pretend update the repo, It is a simple project that I made playing with my Launchpad and I just decided to share it ;), but pull requests are welcome.

I add the content of the original README file for more information.

launchpad.py

If you ever dreamed of using your Launchpad for completely other stuff than music: Welcome !-)

Compatible with most [tm] single board computers.

Watch a 6s video here.
Or take a look at that one.
What about the brand new Launchpad Pro support? Right!

Hey — and the Mac? Yep, that finally works too. Look \o/

Oh, don’t let us forget the Dicer.

Older Launchpads might be documented here.

Did we mention Python 3 yet?

STATUS 2018/10/xx:

What’s hot, what’s not?

Devices

Python

Now with Python 3 support \o/

Now full functionality also on Windows 10 and macOS based systems.
Successfully tested with Ubuntu 18.04-LTS+. Requires compiling your own PyGame though (which is actually very easy; see below. ).

Installation/Usage

Install as Python package

Via pip from PyPI

Please notice that the PyPI version is not always up to date!
Simply execute

(in case you need superuser rights) to install it.
Notice that the required dependencies (see below) are not automatically resolved and you need to install PyGame separately.

Also make sure that you’re using the right «pip», matching your Python 2 or 3 preference.
Check with

Which should bring up somewthing like:

For explicitly installing this in an Python 3 environment, use

From local file system

If you downloaded the Launchpad.py source package, simply execute the command

from the base directory or

if superuser access is required.

Load and use the module with

or if you dislike typing that much, use

For compatibility with existing code, use

Install directly from Github

Instead of downloading the source distribution, you can directly install it from Github by executing

Via your system’s package manager, e.g. on Raspbian

Some Linux distributions come with their own PyGame package.
Check your manual 🙂

With «apt», for example, you could either try

Make sure to install the right PyGame version, matching your Python 2 or 3 prefewrence.
Sample output from a Raspbian Jesse:

An Ubuntu 17.0.1, which comes with Python 3 as default, outputs

but this is only a Python 2 installation of PyGame.

Direct usage

If you don’t want to or cannot install the package on your system, simply copy the two files

to your working directory.
Use those files as described above, but without the «_py»:

Universal loading template code

Checks for an installed version first, loads local one as the last resort

Requirements

Some Pygame versions do not work on some OSes (e.g. v1.9.2 might cause trouble with Windows 7/10). I cannot tell you any more than just «try!».
The latest fixes (4/2017) were tested with v1.9.3 (via pip from Python 2.7.13) and Windows 10 (x64). That seems to work fine again.

As of 2/2018, launchpad.py comes with Python 3 support.
Tested, so far:

• Windows 10, Python 3.6.4, PyGame 1.9.3 (via pip), MK2 Pad
• macOS Sierra, Python 3.6 (Macports), PyGame 1.9.3 (via pip), Pro Pad
• Raspbian Jessy, RPi3, Python 3.4.2, PyGame 1.9.2a0 (via apt), Mini Pad

Python 3 might not (yet and out-of-the-box) work for:

• stock Ubuntu 16.04.3-LTS (requires building PyGame from sources)
• stock Ubuntu 17.04 (same)
• stock Ubuntu 17.10 (same)
• stock Ubuntu 18.04 (workaround available)

See below for instructions on how to compile PyGame on your own.

Previously, launchpad.py was tested under

• Linux, 32 bit, 64 bit
• Windows XP, 32 bit
• Windows 7, 32 bit, 64 bit
• Windows 10, 64 bit
• macOS Sierra
• Raspberry-Pi 1/2/3
• Beagle Bone (Black)
• Banana Pi (Pro/M2/R1)
• pcDuino V3
• .

Supported and tested red/green LED Launchpad devices, here referred to as «Classic» or «Mk1»:

• Launchpad (the original, old «Mk1»)
• Launchpad S
• Launchpad Mini (Mk1)

Supported and tested full RGB Launchpad devices:

Supported completely different stuff:

• Launch Control XL
• LaunchKey (Mini)
• Dicer

Notice that Novation now (1/2016) sells an RGB Launchpad under the same name it once shipped the first red/green LED with!

Compiling your own PyGame

If you have problems with errors like «alsa.conf» or the ListAll() method not recognizing any attached Launchpads on newer systems, especially Ubuntu 17/18, you might consider compiling your own PyGame version.

This explanation is for Ubuntu 18.04-LTS and Python 3, but it should work [tm] for most other systems too.

Additional package requirements, install them with

I recommend installing these one after another (for easy «debugging»)

Compile via «setup.py»

Find the complete compilation instructions here.

Download the PyGame source code.
Notice that this will create a sub-folder named «pygame»:

Enter that directory and type

which results in something like:

If you need a fully working PyGame, with all features, I leave it up to you, to resolve the remaining «not found» issues, but they’re not required by Launchpad.py

Make sure PORTMIDI and PORTTIME are marked with «found», then continue the build process. After a hopfully error-free build, execute (Ubuntu example for superuser access)

After a short time, you now should have PyGame in the default path

Compile via «configure» (old)

Newer Python variants come with a fully functional setup.py (see above).
I just leave the old compiling instructions here.

Download the PyGame source code.
Notice that this will create a sub-folder named «pygame»:

Enter that directory and type

which results in something like:

If you need a fully working PyGame, with all features, I leave it up to you, to resolve the remaining «not found» issues, but they’re not required by Launchpad.py

After a short time, you now should have PyGame in the default path

Random Notes

Button, value and potentiometer polling

Until now (6/2017), Launchpad.py does not have an event system built in. You need to poll the buttons’ or potentiometer’s values manually.
Notice that actually nothing will get lost, but every event you create will be buffered (until you run out or memory :). If you don’t poll the buttons or potentiometers regulary, your might end up with thousands of old states and values, blocking the current input.
Especially rotating a potentiometer or pushing a slider, creates an event for each single value that was sampled. This can easily be hundreds of messages in a few seconds.

So either poll regulary or use the ButtonFlush()/InputFlush() method to clear everything.

Also notice that the buffer might be filled right after you started your application.

For Launchpad Mk1 users (the original «Classic» Launchpad):

For Launchpad Pro users

For Launchpad Mk2 users

For Launch Control XL users

For LaunchKey (Mini) users

Even it is named «Mini», it also supports most of the bigger keyboards’ functionalities.
Notice that some of the button and key numbers collide and cannot be differed.

For Dicer users

The Dicer uses «page» mode by default. The three small buttons «cue», «loop» and «auto loop» select six different pages (per Dicer module) and each of those can be handled independently.

The first set of the six mode is enabled by simply pushing (and releasing) on of the three mode buttons, the second set, «shift-mode» is activated by holding down one of the mode buttons while pushing a number button.

So, if the «cue» page is active and you try to activate an LED in the «loop» page, that will not be visible until you activate that page.

alsa.conf issues

Several users reported errors because of a missing alsa.conf file, e.g.:

If /etc/alsa/alsa.conf does not exist, you can create a symbolic link to where it resides on your system. Find it with:

If that command can not find «alsa.conf» (a common place is /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf), you probably don’t have Alsa installed at all.

In all other cases, you can create a symbolic link from /etc/alsa/alsa.conf to the real, existing file (assuming /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf here).
Warning: Double check whether /etc/alsa/alsa.conf really does not exist first!

After that, you still might experience that Launchpad.py cannot find any MIDI devices.
The output from «lp.ListAll()» does not return anything and executing the «hello.py» example just shows something like:

In this case, the default sequencer entries might be missing in your alsa.conf.
You might wish to add this to your alsa.conf:

Thanks to MartinPaulEve for pointing that out.
Please notice that this «fix» won’t work on all systems. While it does, for example, work with Ubuntu 17.04, the same error usually just indicates that your system was not built with a PyGame compatible ALSA (PortMidi) version.
There is no easy fix for this (unless you wish to spend a lot of time completely recompiling your system. )

For Mac users

Mac Python and Pygame

Good news, everybody. It now works with macOS Sierra \o/
Best part: It even works with the stock «Apple Python».

Pygame can be installed via «pip». Just enter «pip» on the console to see whether it is installed:

If it isn’t, you can install it with:

If pip is working, search for Pygame via pip (console command):

Somewhere in the list, you should see something like

Install that with:

Hardware

Notice that the original Launchpad Mk1 requires an USB driver. Thanks, Stewart!.
Get it from here (Novation USB Driver-2.7.dmg).

As it seems, all newer Launchpads work right out of the box, no driver required.

For Raspberry Pi users

Please notice that some the newer RGB LED Launchpads consume more current than a Raspberry Pi can deliver. If you turn on a lot of LEDs, the Launchpad will just reset and show the fireworks demo.
At least for the Launchpad Pro, you could use an external power supply adapter. For the Mk2, you would need a an «USB-Y» cable, with the «power plug» connected to an external power supply (or other PC).

As written somewhere above, at least for Raspbian (Jesse), you should install Raspbian’s PyGame version via the package manager or apt. The PyPI version (installation via «pip») will not work due to some missing SDL components.

Btw, you can check your Raspbian version with the console command

Which outputs something comparable to

For Windows users

For Linux and especially Raspberry-Pi users:

Other Notes

Launchpad (Pro) not recognized, playing fireworks demo

Just discovered another oddity.

I attached a Launchpad Pro to my Linux box, as many times before, to finally add the button methods, but it refused to show up as an USB device. Instead of the «note mode», indicated by a turquoise/pink colour pattern, it played that «fireworks animation» and did nothing.

The first time I discovered that, I blamed it on an attached FTDI UART chip, but as it turned out, that was not the reason it didn’t work.

It simply was a power issue.

So, if your Launchpad Pro shows that firework demo, check your USB cable!
Seriously. That thing draws a lot of current and most USB cables simply do not conform to the USB standard (or your USB port isn’t, e.g. Raspberry Pi).

On Linux, you can check that via the console command «dmesg».
If the output contains hundreds of «urb status -32» errors, followed by

My USB cable «looked quite good» from the outside.
With its

5.5mm diameter, I assumed it had AWG 22 (

60mOhm/m) or better, but it in fact has drumroll AWG 28 (

240mOhm/m) and two thick plastic strings to fill the gaps.

Well, we all know that companies try to save money wherever they can, but that’s just fraud.

Btw, the fireworks demo will play whenever the Launchpad cannot be enumerated (configured).
