Command line tool allowing you to use Novation Launchpad as a step sequencer.
The lss
handles bidirectional communication with your launchpad using MiDI protocol.
Communication is done using mido (python midi wrapper).
When started lss
creates new MiDI source named Launchpad Step Sequencer
. This source
can be used as input in Logic Pro (or other DAW).
In Logic you may need to select
Control Surfaces > Bypass All Control Surfaces
to avoid default mode of launchpad.
The sequencer allows you to change tempo, mute particular instruments and reset the playhead.
To install locally run:
pip install -e .
Then start the sequencer by running
lss run --device-type=<DEVICE_NAME>
To list supported devices run:
lss devices list
