How to use this app as a launchpad? #43

Thanks for this great app! ❤️

I wish to use it as a launchpad for ableton live to trigger scenes, can you please share some steps?

Hi

So the original Launchpad works as a controller for ableton because they provide whats called a control script for Ableton. I guess one could be made for this app as well and I may look into it, as per these instructions. You can still use the app to launch clips right now, if you midi map the pads to clips in Ableton's session view. That way is just a little less flexible, I guess. Anyway, I may look into the control script thing at some point. But feel free to experiment with that as well.

Yes, just to get that beat synced glow like launchpad, I had to create a dummy MIDI clip which sends(MIDI to) the exact same notes (in counts) to the app as it was used to trigger the scene/clip.

And also by any chance do you know if I can send the labels on the scene/clip to come to the pad labels on app? Is it possible by MIDI or is it possible only by those remote scripts?

I would say that's only possible with remote scripts, and even with those it would need to be sent with a custom midi sysex message, I believe, without really having looked into it.

Maybe I could implement receiving midi clock and flashing on each 4th note ?!? Would that be desirable?

Yup, this sounds cool.

souradeepDe225 commented 2 months ago

also @anzbert , if you could add an option to enter custom labels/colors to each pad, that would be great? 😊
