A Novation Launchpad (and Midi Fighter) control suite for Python.
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/
Upcoming attraction: Launch Control XL.
Oh, don't let us forget the Dicer.
Older Launchpads might be documented here.
Did we mention Python 3 yet?
First Mk3 and X Launchpad code snippets running now (4/2020).
Now with full Midi Fighter 64 support (8/2020).
Finally! Hehe, say hello to the Mk3 Pro (8/2020)
And here comes the Midi Fighter 3D (5/2021)
Launchpad Mk1 - class "Launchpad()" LEDs and buttons
Launchpad/S - class "Launchpad()" LEDs and buttons
Launchpad Mini - class "Launchpad()" LEDs and buttons
Launchpad Mk2 - class "LaunchpadMk2()" LEDs and buttons
Launchpad Pro - class "LaunchpadPro()" LEDs and buttons (digitally only (yet))
Launchpad Pro Mk3 - class "LaunchpadProMk3()" LEDs and buttons, pressure, everything; "should work"
Launchpad Mini Mk3 - class "LaunchpadMiniMk3()" LEDs and buttons *** RENAMED 5/2020 ***
Launchpad X - class "LaunchpadLPX()" LEDs and buttons and more
Launch Control - class "LaunchControl()" EXPERIMENTAL
Launch Control XL - class "LaunchControlXL()" LEDs, buttons and potentiometers
LaunchKey (Mini) - class "LaunchKeyMini()" Buttons, keys and potentiometers/sliders, no LEDs
Dicer - class "Dicer()" LEDs and buttons
Midi Fighter 64 - class "MidiFighter64" LEDs and buttons
Midi Fighter 3D - class "MidiFighter3D IN WORK
PRO MK3 USERS:
You need to disable the Launchpad's "Transmit Clock" in the MIDI settings!
See section "For Launchpad Pro Mk3 users"The Pro Mk3 needs the latest Firmware to operate flawlessly. FW is only available
via a Novation account- and product registration.Alternatively, visit mat1jaczyyy's Firmware Utility on a Chromium-based browser to update the firmware of Pro Mk3.
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Please notice that the class "LaunchpadMk3()" was renamed to "LaunchpadMiniMk3()" in 5/2020.
This was necessary to avoid confusion with the device search string and the new "Pro-Mk3" Launchpad.
The "Pro Mk3" now is in LaunchpadProMk3().
Please notice the changes in methods "Open()" and "Check()" for the Mini Mk3 and X.
Also, see demo files "hello.py" or "launchpad_rgb.py" as a reference on how to use them.
Now with Python 3 support \o/
Now full functionality also on Windows 10 and macOS based systems.

Please notice the new class for the Pro:
lp_pro = LaunchpadPro()
Except for a few, low level functions (e.g. "LedCtrlRaw()"), this and
probably all future classes will remain compatible to the good, old
"Classic" Launchpad (Mk1).
- added method Check(); Checks whether a device is attached.

Please notice the new class for the Mk2:
lp_pro = LaunchpadMk2()
- classes for "Pro" and "Mk2" now with default names for Open() and Check();
- "Pro" now automatically put in "Ableton Live mode" after opening it.
No need to push "Setup - Live" button anymore.
- added Mk2 LedCtrlRawByCode() and LedCtrlXYByCode()
- added Pro ButtonStateRaw(); first *damn fast* button reads \o/
- The current version does not work with Mac OS X.
Regarding that, as well as the fact that PyGame somehow reached its
end of life, I am currently looking for other Midi libraries or implementations.
- I bought a Launchpad Pro. Time to implement this, although I am not sure
what will come first, building a new Midi system or implementing the Pro.
- Support for multiple Launchpads now finally built in. Use 'em all:
lp1 = launchpad.Launchpad()
lp2 = launchpad.Launchpad()
lp1.Open(0)
lp2.Open(1)
- Added option to select a Launchpad if more than one is attached.
Also supports search for a device string, e.g. "Mini".
- Added optional parameters <number> and <name> to Open()
- "PK3": the Pro Mk3 has some issues; needs to be fixed
- "All": optionally avoid resetting the X and Pro Mk3 to Live mode in Close(); (bc LEDs turn on)
- "FNT": fix character set; e.g. "!", "0", "N" and probably many more
- "All": RGB to color code approximation (for flash/pulse and color code methods)
- "All": either remove or add the (non-) optional <colorcode> argument to all methods
- "DCR": query mode
- "All": native scrolling for RGB pads
- "All": split the doc in smaller, readable parts
- "CXL": x/y support (if it makes sense...)
- "All": LedCtrlChar() make y-offset work
- "Pro": change ButtonStateXY() to return True/False + velocity, as in the LaunchKeyMini
- "Pro": remove the "Mk1" compatibility from the "Pro" functions (blue LEDs and intensity values)
- "All": [r,g,b] lists for colors, instead of single args (might affect compatibility)
- "Pro": implement native text scrolling
- "Pro": support full analog reads (button already pressed, but intensity changes)
- "Doc": split installation and usage (and condense that a little)
- "All": fix manual text scrolling
- "All": replace MIDI cmd numbers with sth human readable (144->Note On; 176->Control Change, etc...)
- "All": custom bitmaps and graphics
- "All": event system
- "All": better custom font support
- "All": [r,g,b] lists for colors, instead of single args (might affect compatibility)
- ...
- "M64": RGB to color code mapping NOPE This does not work.
Please notice that the PyPI version is not always up to date!
Simply execute
pip install launchpad_py
or
sudo pip install launchpad_py
(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
pip --version
Which should bring up somewthing like:
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
For explicitly installing this in an Python 3 environment, use
pip3 install launchpad_py
If you downloaded the Launchpad.py source package, simply execute the command
python setup.py install
from the base directory or
sudo python setup.py install
if superuser access is required.
Load and use the module with
import launchpad_py
...
...
# Mk1 Launchpad:
lp = launchpad_py.Launchpad()
# Mk2 Launchpad:
lp = launchpad_py.LaunchpadMk2()
# Mk3 Launchpad:
lp = launchpad_py.LaunchpadMk2()
# X Launchpad:
lp = launchpad_py.LaunchpadLPX()
# Pro Launchpad:
lp = launchpad_py.LaunchpadPro()
# Pro Mk3 Launchpad:
lp = launchpad_py.LaunchpadProMk3()
# Control:
lp = launchpad_py.LaunchControl()
# Control XL:
lp = launchpad_py.LaunchControlXL()
# LaunchKey Mini:
lp = launchpad_py.LaunchKeyMini()
# Dicer:
lp = launchpad_py.Dicer()
or if you dislike typing that much, use
import launchpad_py as lppy
...
...
lp = lppy.Launchpad()
lp = lppy.LaunchpadMk2()
lp = lppy.LaunchpadMiniMk3()
lp = lppy.LaunchpadLPX()
lp = lppy.LaunchpadPro()
lp = lppy.LaunchpadProMk3()
lp = lppy.LaunchControl()
lp = lppy.LaunchControlXL()
lp = lppy.LaunchKeyMini()
lp = lppy.Dicer()
For compatibility with existing code, use
import launchpad_py as launchpad
Instead of downloading the source distribution, you can directly install it from Github by executing
pip install git+https://github.com/FMMT666/launchpad.py
ATTENTION Raspberry Pi Raspbian user. This is for you!
Some Linux distributions come with their own PyGame package.
Check your manual :)
With "apt", for example, you could either try
apt search pygame
or
apt-cache search pygame
apt-cache search pygame | grep pygame
Make sure to install the right PyGame version, matching your Python 2 or 3 prefewrence.
Sample output from a Raspbian Jesse:
python-pygame - SDL bindings for games development in Python (Python 2)
python3-pygame - SDL bindings for games development in Python (Python 3)
An Ubuntu 17.0.1, which comes with Python 3 as default, outputs
python-pygame - SDL bindings for games development in Python
python-pygame-sdl2 - reimplementation of the Pygame API using SDL2
but this is only a Python 2 installation of PyGame.
If you don't want to or cannot install the package on your system, simply copy the two files
launchpad.py
charset.py
to your working directory.
Use those files as described above, but without the "_py":
import launchpad
...
...
# Mk1 Launchpad:
lp = launchpad.Launchpad()
...
or
import launchpad as LP
...
...
lp = LP.Launchpad()
...
import sys
try:
import launchpad_py as launchpad

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:
- Launchpad Pro
- Launchpad Pro Mk3
- Launchpad Mk2
- Launchpad Mini Mk3
- Launchpad LPX
Supported completely different stuff:
- Launch Control
- Launch Control XL
- LaunchKey (Mini)
- Dicer
- Midi Fighter 64
Notice that Novation now (1/2016) sells an RGB Launchpad under the same name it once shipped the first red/green LED with!
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
sudo apt-get install <package name>
I recommend installing these one after another (for easy "debugging")
git
automake
cmake
libsdl1.2-dev <--- for older PyGame versions
libsdl2-dev <--- for newer PyGame versions (ca. mid 2019+)
libfreetype6-dev
libportmidi-dev
python3-setuptools <--- for Python 3
python3-dev <--- same
...

Download the PyGame source code.
Notice that this will create a sub-folder named "pygame":
git clone https://github.com/pygame/pygame
Enter that directory and type
python3 setup.py build

will not run. Would you like to continue the configuration? [Y/n]
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)
sudo python3 setup.py install
After a short time, you now should have PyGame in the default path

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...
Also valid for the Mk1 Mini.
(Most likely still) requires an USB driver for Windoze (7/10/...).
Look out for the Novation USB Driver 2.xx.
USE CLASS "Launchpad":
lp = launchpad.Launchpad()
USE CLASS "LaunchpadPro":
lp = launchpad.LaunchpadPro()
As of 2016/01/24, the "Pro" is now automatically set to "Ableton Live mode",
which is required for launchpad.py to work.
USE CLASS "LaunchpadProMk3":
lp = launchpad.LaunchpadProMk3()
You need to disable the "Transmit Clock" in the Launchpad settings!
Hold "Setup" and disable the 2nd LED from the left (must be red).
Otherwise the receive buffer will be spammed with messages.
USE CLASS "LaunchpadMk2":
lp = launchpad.LaunchpadMk2()
USE CLASS "LaunchpadMiniMk3":
lp = launchpad.LaunchpadMiniMk3()
USE CLASS "LaunchpadLPX":
lp = launchpad.LaunchpadLPX()
USE CLASS "LaunchControl":
lp = launchpad.LaunchControl()
USE CLASS "LaunchControlXL":
lp = launchpad.LaunchControlXL()
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.
USE CLASS "LaunchKeyMini":
lp = launchpad.LaunchKeyMini()
USE CLASS "Dicer":
lp = launchpad.Dicer()
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.
USE CLASS "MidiFighter64":
lp = launchpad.MidiFighter64()
The Midi Fighter needs to be set to MIDI channel 3 (factory default). It does not matter which bank is selected, both are supported.
Switching the banks does currently make no difference in button numbers or events. Drop me a note if it would make sense to change that ...
Several users reported errors because of a missing alsa.conf file, e.g.:
ALSA lib conf.c:3009:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /etc/alsa/alsa.conf
ALSA lib seq.c:935:(snd_seq_open_noupdate) Unknown SEQ default
If /etc/alsa/alsa.conf does not exist, you can create a symbolic link to where it resides on your system. Find it with:
find /etc /usr -name "alsa.conf"
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!
sudo mkdir /etc/alsa
sudo ln -s /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf /etc/alsa/alsa.conf
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:
Exception AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'quit'" in <bound method __Midi.__del__
... of <launchpad_py.launchpad.__Midi instance at 0x7f0860cb3128>> ignored
In this case, the default sequencer entries might be missing in your alsa.conf.
You might wish to add this to your alsa.conf:
#
# Sequencer interface
#
seq.default {
type hw
hint.description "Added by experts. Source: Internet \o/"
}
seq.hw {
type hw
}
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...)
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:
pip
If it isn't, you can install it with:
sudo easy_install pip
If pip is working, search for Pygame via pip (console command):
sudo pip search pygame
Somewhere in the list, you should see something like
Pygame (1.9.2b8) - Python Game Development
Install that with:
sudo pip install pygame
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.
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
cat /etc/os-release
Which outputs something comparable to
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="8"
VERSION="8 (jessie)"

MIDI implementation in PyGame 1.9.2+ is broken and running this might
bring up an 'insufficient memory' error ( pygame.midi.Input() ).
SOLUTION: use v1.9.1 or try v1.9.3
Due to some bugs in PyGame's MIDI implementation, the buttons of the Launchpad Mk1
won't work after you restarted a program (LEDs are not affected).
WORKAROUND #2: Simply hit one of the AUTOMAP keys (the topmost 8 buttons).
For whatever reason, this makes the MIDI button events
appearing again...
WORKAROUND #1: Pull the Launchpad's plug out and restart... (annoying).
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).

All RGB Launchpads have a 128 color palette built-in.
Controlling LEDs with colors from the palette is about three times faster than
using the, indeed much more comfortable, RGB notation.
Functions requiring a color code have a "...ByCode" naming style.

The Midi Fighter 64 only supports a color table.
There is no possibility to control the RGB LEDs individually.
Opens the a Launchpad and initializes it.
Please notice that some devices have multiple and even up to six MIDI entries!
To open the first Mini Mk3 or X device, "number" needs to be set to "1", not "0",
as valid for (most) of the other Launchpads.
Some Launchpads, e.g. the "Mk3 Pro" come with 3 MIDI devices. While the first device's
number is "0", the 2nd device will require opening number "3" and not "1".
(1) Notice that <template> is only valid for the Launch Control XL pad.
A number of 1..8 selects and activates a user template (1 by default)
or 9..16 a factory one.
This corresponds to holding down one of the "Template buttons" and
selecting the template number via the bottom button row.
A dump by ListAll(), with a "Pro", a Mk1 "Mini" and a "Mk2" might look like:
('ALSA', 'Midi Through Port-0', 0, 1, 0)
('ALSA', 'Midi Through Port-0', 1, 0, 0)
('ALSA', 'Launchpad Pro MIDI 1', 0, 1, 1)
('ALSA', 'Launchpad Pro MIDI 1', 1, 0, 1)
('ALSA', 'Launchpad Pro MIDI 2', 0, 1, 0)
('ALSA', 'Launchpad Pro MIDI 2', 1, 0, 0)
('ALSA', 'Launchpad Pro MIDI 3', 0, 1, 0)

('ALSA', 'Launch Control XL MIDI 1', 0, 1, 1)
('ALSA', 'Launch Control XL MIDI 1', 1, 0, 1)
You'll only need to count the entries if you have two or more identical Launchpads attached.
PARAMS: <number> OPTIONAL, number of Launchpad to open.
1st device = 0, 2nd device = 1, ...
Defaults to 0, the 1st device, if not given.
<name> OPTIONAL, only consider devices whose names contain
the string <name>. The default names for the classes are:
Launchpad() -> "Launchpad"
LaunchpadMk2() -> "Mk2"
LaunchpadMiniMk3() -> "MiniMk3"
LaunchpadLPX() -> "LPX" and "Launchpad X"
LaunchpadPro() -> "Launchpad Pro"
LaunchpadProMk3() -> "Launchpad Pro Mk3"
LaunchControl() -> "Control MIDI"
LaunchControlXL() -> "Control XL"
LaunchKeyMini() -> "Launchkey" (should work for all variants)
It is sufficient to search for a part of the string, e.g.
"chpad S" will find a device named "Launchpad S" or even
"Novation Launchpad S"
<template> OPTIONAL, ONLY FOR LAUNCH CONTROL (XL)
The Launch Control XL supports eight user and eight factory settings,
selectable via the two "Template" burrons on the top right.
By default, Launchpad.py uses the template "User 1".
Simply don't touch this and you're safe.
Notice that these values are internally remapped to 0..15, as they
appear in the Novation documentation. The buttons on the HW are labeled "1..8",
that is why Launchpad.py uses 1..16 rather than 0..15.
1.. 8 -> select user template 1..8
9..16 -> select factory template 1..8
RETURN: True success
False error
As of 12/2016, the name search patterns are case insensitive, hence strings like "mk2", "pRo" or even "lAunCHpAd MiNI" are valid too.
Notice that the default name for the class Launchpad(), the "Mk1" or "Classic" Launchpads,
will also react to an attached "Pro" or "Mk2" model. In that case, it's required to either
enter the complete name (as shown by "ListAll()").
EXAMPLES:
# Open the first device attached:
lp.Open()
# Open the 2nd Launchpad:
lp.Open( 1 )
# Open the 3rd Launchpad Mini:
lp.Open( 2, "Launchpad Mini")
# alternative:
lp.Open( name = "Launchpad Mini", number = 0)
# open the 1st "Mk2"
lp = launchpad.LaunchpadMk2() # notice the "Mk2" class!
lp.Open() # equals Open( 0, "Mk2" )
# open the 1st "Mk3"
# NOTICE: Mk3 has two MIDI instances and we need the 2nd one.
# So, to open the first attached devices, use "Open(1)" and not "Open(0)".
lp = launchpad.LaunchpadMiniMk3() # notice the "MiniMk3" class!
lp.Open() # THIS WILL NOT WORK!
lp.Open(1) # this will open the first device
lp.Open(3) # this would open the 2nd attached Launchpad
# open the 1st "X"
# NOTICE: The X has two MIDI instances and we need the 2nd one.
# So, to open the first attached devices, use "Open(1)" and not "Open(0)".
lp = launchpad.LaunchpadLPX() # notice the "LPX" class!
lp.Open() # THIS WILL NOT WORK!
lp.Open(1) # this will open the first device
lp.Open(3) # this would open the 2nd attached Launchpad
# open the 1st "Pro"
lp = launchpad.LaunchpadPro() # notice the "Pro" class!
lp.Open() # equals Open( 0, "Launchpad Pro" )
# open the 1st "XL" with user template 3
lp = launchpad.LaunchControlXL( template = 3 )
lp.Open()
# open the 1st "XL" with factory template 2
lp = launchpad.LaunchControlXL( template = 10 )
lp.Open()
Checks if a device is attached.
Uses exactly the same notation as Open(), but only returns True or False,
without opening anything.
Like Open(), this method uses different default names for the different classes:
Launchpad() -> "Launchpad"
LaunchpadMk2() -> "Mk2"
LaunchpadMiniMk3() -> "MiniMk3"
LaunchpadLPX() -> "LPX" and "Launchpad X"
LaunchpadPro() -> "Launchpad Pro"
LaunchpadProMk3() -> "ProMk3"
LaunchControl() -> "Control MIDI"
LaunchControlXL() -> "Control XL"
LaunchKeyMini() -> "Launchkey"
Notice that the first Mk3 and the first X Launchpads need to be checked with "1", not "0".
Notice that it's absolutely safe to query for an "Pro" or "Mk2" from all classes, e.g.:
lp = lauchpad.Launchpad() # Launchpad "Mk1" or "Classic" class
if lp.Check( 0, "Pro" ): # check for "Pro"
lp = launchpad.LaunchpadPro() # "reload" the new class for the "Pro"
lp.Open() # equals lp.Open( 0, "Launchpad Pro" )
As of 8/2020, the recommended way is to simply omit the name and trust the
internal name search, though the above "name search variant" might be helpful in a pinch.
if launchpad.LaunchpadPro.Check( 0 ): # check for "Pro"
lp = launchpad.LaunchpadPro() # "reload" the new class for the "Pro"
lp.Open( 0 ) # equals lp.Open( 0, "Launchpad Pro" )
Search patterns are case insensitive.

Requires (less than) half of the commands to update all buttons:
[ LED1, LED2, LED3, ... LED80 ]
First, the 8x8 matrix is updated, left to right, top to bottom.
Afterwards, the algorithm continues with the rightmost buttons and
the top "automap" buttons.
LEDn color format: 00gg00rr <- 2 bits green, 2 bits red (0..3)
Function LedGetColor() will do the coding for you...
Notice that the amount of LEDs needs to be even.
If an odd number of values is sent, the next, following LED is
turned off!

Sends character <char> in colors <red/green> (0..3 each) and
lateral offset <offsx> (-8..8) to the Launchpad.
<offsy> does not have yet any function.
It is highly recommended to use <offsx> and <offsy> as
named parameters, for compatible code with the RGB Launchpads, e.g.:
lp.LedCtrlChar( 'a', 3, 2, offsx = xvar )
PARAMS: <char> one field string to display; e.g.: 'A'
<red> red LED intensity 0..3
<green> green LED intensity 0..3
<offsx> x offset of the character on the main, 8x8 matrix (-8..8)
Negative is left and positive right.
<offsy> no function

EXAMPLES:
# scroll a red 'A' from left to right
for x in range( -8, 9 ):
lp.LedCtrlChar( 'A', 3, 0, offsx = x )
time.wait( 100 )
Scrolls <string> across the Launchpad's main, 8x8 matrix.
<red/green> specify the color and intensity (0..3 each).
<direction> determines the direction of scrolling.
Dirty hack: <waitms>, by default 150, delays the scrolling speed.
WARNING:
Too short times will overflow the Launchpad's buffer and mess up
the screen.
For future compatibility, it is highly recommended to use
<direction> and <waitms> as a named arguments, e.g.:
lp.LedCtrlString( "Hello", 3,1, direction = -1, waitms = 100 )
PARAMS: <string> a string to display; e.g.: 'Hello'
<red> red LED intensity 0..3
<green> green LED intensity 0..3
<direction> -1 -> scroll right to left
0 -> do not scroll, just show the character
1 -> scroll left to right
<waitms> OPTIONAL: delay for scrolling speed, default 150
RETURN:
Returns True if a button event occured. False otherwise.
PARAMS:
RETURN: True/False
Returns the state of the buttons in RAW mode.
PARAMS:
RETURN: [ ] An empty list if no event occured, otherwise...
[ <button>, <True/False> ] ... a list with two fields:
<button> is the RAW button number, the second field determines
if the button was pressed <True> or released <False>.
Returns the state of buttons in X/Y mode.
PARAMS:
RETURN: [ ] An empty list if no event occured, otherwise...
[ <x>, <y>, <True/False> ] ... a list with three fields:
<x> is the x coordinate of the button, <y>, guess what, the
y coordinate. The third field reveals if the button was pressed
<True> or released <False>.
Applies to "Pro", "Pro Mk3", "Mk2", "Mini Mk3" and "LPX" unless otherwise noted.
Sets the Launchpad's mode.
For proper operation with launchpad.py, the "Pro" must be set to "Ableton Live" mode.
There is no need to call this method as it is automatically executed within Open().
PARAMS: <mode> 0 selects "Ableton Live mode" (what we need)
1 selects "Standalone mode" (power-up default)
RETURN:
WORK IN PROGRESS! ONLY A FEW COLORS, SO FAR!
Returns a color in the special Launchpad Pro color code format, derived
from a color name, in the string <name>.
[...]
PARAMS: <name> a name of a color in lower caps, "red", "green"...
RETURN: number Launchpad Pro color code
EXAMPLES:

+++ NOTICE:
+++ It is recommended to always call this with a "blue" parameter.
+++ The compatibility mode will be removed soon.
Controls an LED via its number and red, green and blue intensity values.
This method uses system-exclusive MIDI messages, which require 10 bytes to
be sent for each message. For a faster version, hence less comfortable version,
see LedCtrlRawByCode() below (though even sending 10 bytes is pretty fast on the Pro).
If <blue> is omitted, this method runs in "Mk1" compatibility mode, which only
had red/green LEDs and intensities ranging from 0..3. In that mode, the input
arguments are multiplied by 21, to map 0..3 to 0..63.
Notice that the "Pro" and "Mk2" have different LED number layouts.
Please see tables, somewhere below.
Notice that even though the Mk3 and the X support 0..127 intensities,
only 0..63 can be used here. The values will be scaled up, resulting in the
same intensity.
Technically speaking, 0..63 is shifted left to match 0..127 with the LSB being omitted.
PARAMS: <number> number of the LED to control
<red> a number from 0..63
<green> a number from 0..63
<blue> OPTIONAL, a number from 0..63
RETURN:
Controls an LED via its number and color code.
If <colorcode> is omitted, 'white' is used.
This is about three times faster than the comfortable RGB method LedCtrlRaw().
PARAMS: <number> number of the LED to control
<colorcode> a number from 0..127 (see image; white if omitted)
RETURN:
Controls an LED via its number and color code, as "LedCtrlRawByCode()" does,
but pulsing the LED instead of just turning it on or off.
If <colorcode> is omitted, 'white' is used.
Pulsing can be turned off by simply sending another on/off command.
The pulsing rate can be (roughly) set by LedCtrlBpm()
Notice that there is no RGB control variant of this method (not supported by Launchpad).
PARAMS: <number> number of the LED to control
<colorcode> a number from 0..127 (see image)
RETURN:
Pulses an LED via its x/y coordinates and color codes.
An additional <mode> parameter determines the origin of the x-axis.
For "Pro" only:
By default, if <mode> is omitted, the origin of the x axis is the left side
of the 8x8 matrix, like in the "Mk1" mode (those devices had no round buttons
on the left).
If <mode> is set to "pro" (string), x=0 will light up the round buttons on the
left side. Please also see the table for X/Y modes somewhere at the end of this
document.
PARAMS: <x> x coordinate of the LED to control
<y> y coordinate of the LED to control
<colorcode> a number from 0..127 (see image)
<mode> OPTIONAL: "pro" selects new x/y origin >>> PRO ONLY <<<
RETURN:
Flashes an LED between two colors or on/off.
The first color can be set by any "LedCtrl...()" command, the second color and the
activation of the flashing is then done by this method.
Flashing can be turned off by simply sending another on/off/color command.
The flashing rate can be (roughly) set by LedCtrlBpm()
Notice that there is no RGB control variant of this method (not supported by Launchpad).
PARAMS: <number> number of the LED to control
<colorcode> a number from 0..127 (see image)
RETURN:
EXAMPLES:
LP.LedCtrlRawByCode( 81, 16 ) # set top left LED (#81) to green ("16") (Mk2)
LP.LedCtrlFlashByCode( 81, 6 ) # now set 2nd color to red ("6") and flash LED #81
LP.LedCtrlXY( 0, 1, 63, 63, 63 ) # set top left LED to white (Mk2)
LP.LedCtrlFlashByCode( 81, 6 ) # now set 2nd color to red ("6") and flash LED #81
Flashes an LED via its x/y coordinates and color codes.
An additional <mode> parameter determines the origin of the x-axis.
For "Pro" only:
By default, if <mode> is omitted, the origin of the x axis is the left side
of the 8x8 matrix, like in the "Mk1" mode (those devices had no round buttons

If <mode> is set to "pro" (string), x=0 will light up the round buttons on the
left side. Please also see the table for X/Y modes somewhere at the end of this
document.

<y> y coordinate of the LED to control
<colorcode> a number from 0..127 (see image)
<mode> OPTIONAL: "pro" selects new x/y origin >>> PRO ONLY <<<
RETURN:
EXPERIMENTAL/PRELIMINARY
Sets the LED's pulsing or flashing frequency in beats per minute (bpm).
By default, the Launchpads are set to 120 bpm.
Notice that this comes with several restrictions (yet):
- This function blocks for 67.5 / bpm seconds, e.g.:
40 bpm - 1688 ms
100 bpm - 675 ms
240 bpm - 281 ms
so it should only be called if absolutely necessary, preferably right in the beginning.
- Due to the shortest time step of 1ms and the way the Launchpads handle the timing settings,
the bpm values are restricted to:
10 ms - 250 bpm 23 ms - 108 bpm 36 ms - 69 bpm 49 ms - 51 bpm
11 ms - 227 bpm 24 ms - 104 bpm 37 ms - 67 bpm 50 ms - 50 bpm
12 ms - 208 bpm 25 ms - 100 bpm 38 ms - 65 bpm 51 ms - 49 bpm

LP.LedCtrlBpm( 100 ) # set LED flashing/pulsing to ~100 beats per minute
+++ NOTICE:
+++ It is recommended to always call this with a "blue" parameter.
+++ The compatibility mode will be removed soon.
Controls an LED via its x/y coordinates and red, green or blue intensity values.
An additional <mode> parameter determines the origin of the x-axis.
If <blue> is omitted, this method operates in "Mk1" compatibility mode.
The Mk1 Launchpad only had 2 bit intensity values (0..3). In compatibility
mode, these values are now multiplied by 21, to extend the range to 0..63.
That way, old, existing code, written for the classic Launchpads does not
need to be changed.
For "Pro" only:
By default, if <mode> is omitted, the origin of the x axis is the left side
of the 8x8 matrix, like in the "Mk1" mode (those devices had no round buttons

If <mode> is set to "pro" (string), x=0 will light up the round buttons on the
left side. Please also see the table for X/Y modes somewhere at the end of this
document.
This method uses system-exclusive MIDI messages, which require 10 bytes to
be sent for each message. For a faster version, hence less comfortable version,
see LedCtrlXYByCode() below.
Notice that even though the Mk3 and the X support 0..127 intensities,
only 0..63 can be used here. The values will be scaled up, resulting in the
same intensity.
Technically speaking, 0..63 is shifted left to match 0..127 with the LSB being omitted.
PARAMS: <x> x coordinate of the LED to control
<y> y coordinate of the LED to control
<red> red LED intensity 0..63 (or 0..3 in "Mk1" mode)
<green> green LED intensity 0..63 (or 0..3 in "Mk1" mode)
<blue> blue LED intensity 0..63 (omit for "Mk1" mode)
<mode> OPTIONAL: "pro" selects new x/y origin >>> PRO ONLY <<<
RETURN:
Controls an LED via its x/y coordinates and a color from the color palette.
Except for the color code, this function does the same as LedCtrlXY() does,
but about 3 times faster.
PARAMS: <x> x coordinate of the LED to control
<y> y coordinate of the LED to control
<colorcode> a number from 0..127
<mode> OPTIONAL: "pro" selects new x/y origin >>> PRO ONLY <<<
RETURN:
Controls an LED via its x/y coordinates and a list of colors in RGB format.
This function does the same as LedCtrlXY() does, except that the color information
is now passed in as list [R,G,B].
PARAMS: <x> x coordinate of the LED to control
<y> y coordinate of the LED to control
<colorlist> a list with [ R, G, B ] color codes; each from 0..63

RETURN:
EXAMPLES:
LP.LedCtrlXYByRGB( 3, 7, [63, 42, 0] )
+++ NOTICE:
+++ It is recommended to always call this with a "blue" parameter.
+++ The compatibility mode will be removed soon.
Sends character <char> in colors <red/green/blue> (0..63 each) and
lateral offset <offsx> (-8..8) to the Launchpad.
<offsy> does not have yet any function.
It is highly recommended to use <offsx> and <offsy> as
named parameters, for compatible code with the RGB Launchpads, e.g.:
lp.LedCtrlChar( 'a', 3, 2, offsx = xvar )
If <blue> is ommited, this methods runs in "Mk1" compatibility
mode and multiplies the <red> and <green> intensity values with 21, to
adapt the old 0..3 range to the new 0..63 one of the "Pro" mode.
That way, it is compatible to old, existing "Mk1" code.
Notice that even though the Mk3 and the X support 0..127 intensities,
only 0..63 can be used here. The values will be scaled up, resulting in the
same intensity.
Technically speaking, 0..63 is shifted left to match 0..127 with the LSB being omitted.
PARAMS: <char> one field string to display; e.g.: 'A'
<red> red LED intensity 0..63 (or 0..3 in "Mk1" mode)
<green> green LED intensity 0..63 (or 0..3 in "Mk1" mode)
<blue> blue LED intensity 0..63 (omit for "Mk1" mode)
<offsx> x offset of the character on the main, 8x8 matrix (-8..8)
Negative is left and positive right.
<offsy> no function
RETURN:
EXAMPLES:
# scroll a purple 'A' from left to right
for x in range( -8, 9 ):
lp.LedCtrlChar( 'A', 63, 0, 63, offsx = x )
time.wait( 100 )
+++ NOTICE:
+++ It is recommended to always call this with a "blue" parameter.
+++ The compatibility mode will be removed soon (and the output on
+++ Mk2 and Pro pads might be messed up).
Notice that the Launchpad Pro has string scrolling capabilities built in, but
this function provides the old, Mk1 compatible functionality. Advantages
are custom fonts and symbols (in the future).
Scrolls a string <str> across the Launchpad's main, 8x8 matrix.
<red/green/blue> specify the color and intensity (0..63 each).
<direction> determines the direction of scrolling.
Dirty hack: <waitms>, by default 150, delays the scrolling speed.
If <blue> is omitted, "Mk1" compatibility mode is turned on and the old
0..3 <red/green> intensity values are strechted to 0..63.
For future compatibility, it is highly recommended to use
<direction> and <waitms> as a named arguments, e.g.:
lp.LedCtrlString( "Hello", 3,1, direction = -1, waitms = 100 )
Notice that even though the Mk3 and the X support 0..127 intensities,
only 0..63 can be used here. The values will be scaled up, resulting in the
same intensity.
Technically speaking, 0..63 is shifted left to match 0..127 with the LSB being omitted.
PARAMS: <string> a string to display; e.g.: 'Hello'
<red> red LED intensity 0..63 (or 0..3 in "Mk1" mode)
<green> green LED intensity 0..63 (or 0..3 in "Mk1" mode)
<blue> green LED intensity 0..63 (omit for "Mk1" mode)
<direction> -1 -> scroll right to left
0 -> do not scroll, just show the character
1 -> scroll left to right
<waitms> OPTIONAL: delay for scrolling speed, default 150
RETURN:
Quickly sets all LEDs to the color code given by <colorcode>.
If <colorcode> is omitted, 'white' is used.
PARAMS: <colorcode> OPTIONAL, a number from 0..127
RETURN:
Returns the state of the buttons and pressure events in RAW mode.
Notice that this is not directly compatible with the "Mk1" ButtonStateRaw()
method, which returns [ <button>, <True/False> ].
Only the Pro, X and Pro Mk3 support pressure events.
They can be enables by passing "returnPressure=True" to the method call.
Notice that the Pro and X behave differently:
Pro and Pro Mk3:
There is only one pressure value for all buttons together. If multiple buttons
are pressed, the biggest value is returned. There is no possibility to determine
which button caused it. To distinguish the pressure events from button events,
a fake <button> number of "255" is returned in the list: [ 255, <value>].
X:
The X supports multiple pressure values. For a distinction between button events
and pressure events, "255" is added to the button number:
[ 255 + <button>, <pressure> ]
PARAMS:
RETURN: [ ] An empty list if no event occured, otherwise...
[ <button>, <value> ] ... a list with two fields:
<button> is the button number (0..127), the second field, <value> determines
the intensity (0..127) with which the button was pressed.
0 means that the button was released.
[ 255, <value> ] ... PRO: a list of pressure events with two fields:
"255" as an indicator for a pressure event and <value> for the the intensity
of the pressure (0..127).
[ 255 + <button>, <value> ] ... LPX: a list of pressure events with two fields:
"255" + the button numbericator for a pressure event and <value> for the intensity
of the pressure (0..127).
Returns the state of the buttons in X/Y mode and optionally the pressure value.
Notice that this is not directly compatible with the "Mk1" ButtonStateRaw()
method, which returns [ <button>, <True/False> ].
Only the Pro, X and Pro Mk3 support pressure events.
They can be enables by passing "returnPressure=True" to the method call.
Notice that the Pro and X behave differently:
Pro and Pro Mk3:
There is only one pressure value for all buttons together. If multiple buttons
are pressed, the biggest value is returned. There is no possibility to determine
which button caused it. To distinguish the pressure events from button events,
fake coordinates of "255" are returned in the list: [ 255, 255, <value>].
X:
The X supports multiple pressure values. For a distinction between button events
and pressure events, "255" is added to the coordinate:
[ <x> + 255, <y> + 255, <value> ]
PARAMS: <mode> OPTIONAL: "pro" selects new x/y origin >>> PRO ONLY <<<
RETURN: [ ] An empty list if no event occured, otherwise...
[ <x>, <y>, <value> ] ... a list with three fields:
<x> and <y> are the button's coordinates. The third field, <value> determines
the intensity (0..127) with which the button was pressed.
0 means that the button was released.
Notice that "Mk2" Pads will only return either 0 or 127.
They don't have the full analog mode like the "Pro" has.
[ 255, 255, <value> ] ... PRO: a list of pressure events with two fields:
"255" as an indicator for a pressure event and <value> for the the intensity
of the pressure (0..127).
[ <x> + 255, <y> + 255, <value> ] ... LPX: a list of pressure events with two fields:
"255" added to the <x> and <y> coordinates for a pressure event and <value> for the intensity
of the pressure (0..127).
WORK IN PROGRESS
Activates one of the user or factory templates, as specified by <template>.
Don't touch this, unless you know what you are doing. Settings other values
than "1", the default, might have an impact on other functionality like LedAllOn().
PARAMS: 1.. 8 activate user template 1..8
9..16 activate factory template 1..8
RETURN:
Resets the Launchpad and (quickly) turns off all LEDs.
Only resets the currently active template.

RETURN:
Returns True if a button or potentiometer event occured. False otherwise.
PARAMS:
RETURN: True/False
Flushes the Launch Control XL's input buffer.
If you do not poll the buttons or potentiometer values frequently or even if your software
is not running, the Launch Control XL will store each event in its buffer.
This function can be used to clear all button and potentiometer events.
PARAMS:
RETURN:
Returns the state of the buttons or the value of the last potentiometer change in RAW mode.
In case the last event was caused by a button being pressed or released, this function
returns the button number and either "True" or "False" or if a potentiometer was rotated
or a slider moved, its value (0..127).
Notice that this is different from other's Launchpad "ButtonStateRaw()" methods, as it
forces you to check whether the 2nd field is a number or a boolean value.
Notice that the Control XL buttons do not support an analog velocity value.
For compatibility, either "0" or "127" are returned in the third list field, corresponding
to "False" (0) or "True" (127).
PARAMS:
RETURN: [ ] An empty list if no event occured, otherwise either
[ <button>, <True/False>, 0/127 ] the button number, True or False and the velocity
[ <potnum>, <value> , 0 ] the potentiometer number and its value 0..127
<button> and <potnum> are the RAW button or potentiometer numbers, the second field
either determines the state of the button ("True" if pressed, "False" if released) or
returns the value of the potentiometer that was changed.
EXAMPLES:
xlEvent = lp.InputStateRaw()
if xlEvent != []:
if xlEvent[1] is True or xlEvent[1] is False:
print( "Button ", xlEvent[0], xlEvent[1] )
else:
print( "Potentiometer ", xlEvent[0], xlEvent[1] )
Returns True if a button, key or potentiometer event occured. False otherwise.
PARAMS:
RETURN: True/False
Flushes the buffer of the LaunchKey (Mini)'s.
If you do not poll the buttons, keys or potentiometer values frequently or even if your software
is not running, the Launch Control XL will store each event in its buffer.
This function can be used to clear all button and potentiometer events.
PARAMS:
RETURN:
Returns the state of the buttons, keys or the value of the last potentiometer change in RAW mode.
In case the last event was caused by a button being pressed or released, this function
returns the button number and either "True" or "False" or if a potentiometer was rotated
or a slider moved, its value (0..127).
Notice that this is different from other's Launchpad "ButtonStateRaw()" methods, as it
forces you to check whether the 2nd field is a number or a boolean value.
PARAMS:
RETURN: [ ] An empty list if no event occured, otherwise either
[ <button>, <True/False>, <velocity> ] the button number, True or False and the velocity
[ <key>, <True/False>, <velocity> ] the key number and its velocity 0..127
[ <potnum>, <value> , 0 ] the potentiometer number and its value 0..127
<button>, <key> and <potnum> are the RAW button, key or potentiometer numbers, the second
field either determines the state of the button or key ("True" if pressed, "False" if released)
or returns the value of the potentiometer that was changed.
EXAMPLES:
lkEvent = lp.InputStateRaw()
if lkEvent != []:
if lkEvent[1] is True or lkEvent[1] is False:
print( "Button/Key ", lkEvent[0], lkEvent[1], lkEvent[2] )
else:
print( "Potentiometer ", lkEvent[0], lkEvent[1] )
Resets the Dicer, (quickly) turns off all LEDs and restores the power-on defaults.
Notice that an enabled light show will *not* be stopped.
PARAMS:
RETURN:
Enables on of the seven modes (or button and LED "pages") of the Dicer:
0 cue
1 cue + shift
2 loop
3 loop + shift
4 auto loop
5 auto loop + shift
6 one page mode
See ButtonStateRaw(), LedCtrlRaw() or the Dicer's button and LED table at the end of this
document to see how mode 0..5 work.
If the "one page mode" is enabled, the mode buttons themselves do not select a bank anymore,
but return a value instead.
PARAMS: <device> 0 = master, 1 = slave
<mode> 0..6 as specifies above
RETURN:
Returns the state of the buttons in (an already nicely mapped :) RAW mode.
The returned numbers of the buttons equal the labels on the Dicer's buttons, with
the following extension (also see the LED/button mapping ASCII drawing somewhere below):
The three mode buttons "cue", "loop" and "auto loop" act as a modifier and add the following
numbers to the button value.
For "shift" operation, continue to hold down one of the three mode buttons while pressing a number.
Master, "cue": 01 .. 05 +shift: 06 .. 10
Master, "loop": 11 .. 15 +shift: 16 .. 20
Master, "auto loop": 21 .. 25 +shift: 26 .. 30
Slave, "cue": 101 .. 105 +shift: 106 .. 110
Slave, "loop: 111 .. 115 +shift: 116 .. 120
Slave, "auto loop": 121 .. 115 +shift: 126 .. 130
In "one page mode", the mode buttons do not have a special function but return a value upon being pressed:
Master, "cue": 6
Master, "loop": 7
Master, "auto loop": 8
Slave, "cue": 106
Slave, "loop: 107
Slave, "auto loop": 108
The mode can either be set by pushing/holding down the corresponding buttons
or via ModeSet( <device>, <mode> ).
PARAMS:
RETURN: [ ] An empty list if no event occured, otherwise
[ <button>, <True/False>, <0/127> ] the button number, True or False and the velocity (only 0 or 127).
Enables or disables the built-in LED light show of the Dicer.
Notice that the dicer will do nothing (else) during the light show.
PARAMS: <device> 0 selects master, 1 selects slave
<enable> True turns the light show on, False off
RETURN:
Control an LED via its number, a hue and intensity information.
The number of the LED to control corresponds to the button's labels 1..5,
with the following modifiers:
Master, "cue": 01 .. 05 +shift: 06 .. 10
Master, "loop": 11 .. 15 +shift: 16 .. 20
Master, "auto loop": 21 .. 25 +shift: 26 .. 30
Slave, "cue": 101 .. 105 +shift: 106 .. 110
Slave, "loop: 111 .. 115 +shift: 116 .. 120
Slave, "auto loop": 121 .. 115 +shift: 126 .. 130
In "one page mode", the mode LEDs can be controlled via:
Master, "cue": 6
Master, "loop": 7
Master, "auto loop": 8
Slave, "cue": 106
Slave, "loop: 107
Slave, "auto loop": 108
The mode can either be set by pushing/holding down the corresponding buttons
or via ModeSet( <device>, <mode> ).
The color shade can be controlled with <hue>, avalue from 0..7:
0 red
1 red-orange
2 orange
3 orange-amber
4 amber
5 yellow
6 yellow-green
7 green
I just leave that as it is. Complaints can be sent to Novation :'-)
PARAMS: <number> number of the LED (see Dicer mapping table somewhere below)
<hue> 0..7 hue value (see text above)
<intensity> LED intensity value 0..15
RETURN:
Quickly turns off all LEDs on all Dicers.
No other settings are affected.
PARAMS:
RETURN:
The following constants can be used instead of using integer values for the LED modes.
MODE_BRIGHT[0..15] instead of 18..33 for brightness
MODE_TOGGLE[0..7] instead of 34..41 for toggling
MODE_PULSE[0..7] instead of 42..49 for pulsing
MODE_ANIM_SQUARE instead of 50
MODE_ANIM_CIRCLE instead of 51
MODE_ANIM_STAR instead of 52
MODE_ANIM_TRIANGLE instead of 53
Some examples:
lp.LedAllOn( 5, 18 ) becomes lp.LedAllOn( 5, lp.MODE_BRIGHT[0] ); LED RED BUT OFF
lp.LedAllOn( 5, 33 ) becomes lp.LedAllOn( 5, lp.MODE_BRIGHT[15] ); LED RED FULLY ON
lp.LedAllOn( 5, 33 ) becomes lp.LedAllOn( 5, lp.MODE_BRIGHT[15] ); LED RED FULLY ON
Accessing "out of bounds" list values will of course crash your app.

Controls an LED via its number <button> and <colorcode>.
See table with button number at the end of this document.
Color codes are somewhere above (see image).
The optional <mode> parameter selects the brightness, toggling, flashing
or animation setting of the LED.
This also needs to be used to turn an LED comnpletely off.
Values for mode:
18..33: set brightness of the LED (0..15)
34..41: set toggling speed from every 16 beats down to 1/8 beat
42..49: set pulsing speed from every 32 beats down to 1/8 beat (*)
50: animation set to square

52: animation set to star
53: animation set to triangle
(*) This might be an error in the manual, as it does not contain an 1/4 setting
and starts at 1/32. Need to check ...

<offsy> does not have yet any function.
The optional <coloroff> parameter specifies the background color.
Notice that it is not possible to set this to "black" or off as the
Midi Fighter doesn't support this.
Also notice that this method is not compatible with the Launchpad "RGB-calls",
because the Midi Fighter also lacks RGB support. For 500 bucks. Lol :-)

Button and LED codes depend on the selected bank, the bottom row with the small buttons.
Selected bank is indicated with a #x# here.
Notice that the side button codes 36-40 might overlap with the arcade buttons.
This behaviour can be reprogrammed with the Midi Fighter Utility.
