Launchkey Pad Colour
Hi all,
I guess some of you have one of the newer versions of the Launchkey (mk3 or 4). I’m trying to override the default LED colour of the LK pads, but without success. I understand the general principle, and can get it to work on my Midi Fighter buttons. But the MF accepts velocity messages on the same channel. I browsed through the LK programmers manual, and I understand that the LK listens to specific midi channels for colour messages when in DAW mode.
Has anybody managed to make it work when in a custom LK mode? If so, care to share some scripting tips please? Thanks!
OK, managed to make it work. The Launchkey needs to be in DAW mode. To do this, launch a reaction when initializing the script and send raw midi data to the Launchkey.
(0x9F, 0xC, 0x7F), optimized = True
The encoders listen to cc 21 tot 28 on channel 16
The pads listen to notes 96 to 103 and 112 to 119 on channel 1
They receive color velocity messages on the same channel.
The control surface midi in and out ports in Ableton are the DAW ports.
