Novation Launchpad programming experiments

Just got this new toy yesterday! The Novation Launchpad is supposed a dedicated controller for Ableton Live but it has a MIDI protocol that lets you switch the LEDs on and off and receive button presses. I am working in Visual C++ here with the Windows MIDI API to make a "breakout" game animation and an interactive step sequencer which sends midi note messages via MIDI YOKE to Reason.. first mapped to Redrum then to a Subtractor bass patch. Very quick experiments!

Thumbs up if you thought of Pong.

@DJSwaggaUS I was thinking of Breakout

Do you have to plug it into a computer

[hotchk155]

@Daphoeno Yes you do.... I am also thinking of making a standalone version based on a microcontroller

[Jimtheskeleton]

do you need you to use ableton. or can you download software to use with it? and can it be synced to sya a loop pedal?

[hotchk155]

@Jimtheskeleton its designed to work with ableton, but you can use it as a general midi controller/device. In the video clips I am using my own progams which you can download via link in description
