hey all! i not toooo terribly long ago got a launchpad pro and i've not had any luck with getting it to work and was wanting to see if anyone else had ideas? the power cable and usb both work, power does indeed get to the device but no data is ever sent through. i have tried many usb cables but it never shows up in my device manager or even make a noise, literally as if its not plugged in at all. i've followed the 2 guides on the website relating to my problem but still no luck :(

Makaras Music - Platforming Perfection / re-imagined music for Mega Man 2
Created upon request of a fellow gamer - but as I have never played any of the Mega Man games, I watched the below video of "Mega Man 2" -
Then after creating a re-imagining of "R-Type" boss encounters called "Boss Type" without using my Launchpad -
- I wondered what the same VSTs would sound like on the Launchpad...
...and they sounded rather "cute" compared to when playing them on the Yamaha arranger
So I used both instruments to make an alternative to the official Mega Man 2 music...
...and YES...my finger DID slip at 0:39 to 0:42
- so I improvised rather than start again ;-)

Makaras Music - Challenger 2026 / Re-imagining and Tribute to "Challenger 1985" music from Gradius
The original "Gradius" arcade game (known as "Nemesis" in the West) included what I consider one of the best pieces of music ever - "Challenger 1985" from the first level
This is my re-imagining of what the Gradius soundtrack might have sounded like had it been created now
- hence named as "Challenger 2026"

Fiz um site chamado Unipack Studio para quem cria projetos de Launchpad/UniPad de forma bem mais fácil.
Unipackstudio.com
Nele dá para:
- Criar e editar projetos no estilo UniPad
- Montar animações de LED por frames com preview no launchpad
- Cortar áudios e organizar os sons por pad
- Salvar animações em biblioteca local
- Publicar animações na comunidade para outras pessoas usarem
- Importar e exportar projeto em .zip
A ideia é evitar editar arquivos tudo na mão e deixar a criação mais visual e rápida
Pra quem já usou o “Unitor” é bem semelhante, porém mais intuitivo!
Quem for usar deixe o feedback aqui no post para eu atualizar melhorias, ele é 100% gratuito.
Publiquem animações de led na aba da comunidade para construirmos um banco forte de animações para nos usar!
Obrigado.

Script to replace the onboard interface of Launchpad devices (including multiple at once) as to offer a consistent experience across product generations. Entirely via programmer mode, so inbuilt Mk3 features such as Novation's note mode and custom modes are bypassed. That means the following features on all product generations:
Currently supported devices - Novation Launchpad - Novation Launchpad S - Novation Launchpad Mk2 - Novation Launchpad X - Novation Launchpad Mini Mk3
Maybe supported devices - Novation Launchpad Mini Mk1/Mk2
Note mode (6th key on the top, first press)
It's the note mode you know and love from the Mk3 line, with some extra sauce in the form of extending to the ninth column, panning of columns by the arrow keys, and the settings menu when you hold the access key having two extra options. Seventh key on the first row swaps the horizontal and vertical axis, switching from a guitar-ish layout to a more accordion-ish layout. The scale selector spills over to the ninth column with Aeolian Dominant support and an option to disable scale highlighting and show all lights.
Custom mode (6th key on the top, second press)
From the "custom modes" folder load any custom mode .syx files. On Mk3 devices, we also try to load any custom modes stored directly on the device itself. The right column selects your custom mode, and if we overflow past 8 total, there selector keys allow a second press to show modes 9 through 16. If all pads are set black & the color on press is also set black, we turn off the control LEDs for a completely dark Launchpad. This is not a bug.
FPC mode (7th key on the top, first press)
We initialize to a dark pad if no FPC instance exists in the scene. Otherwise, the first FPC in the scene is automatically mapped to the bottom half of the device. Top four buttons on the ninth column map bank A of the currently selected FPC to one of the quadrants of the pad. Bottom four do the same for bank B. Long hold to unmap the current FPC from the respective pad. Pad colors should translate to Launchpad devices with RGB pads. Arrows flip through four pages; arbitrarily assign 16 FPC banks.
Step sequencer / Channel Rack (7th key on the top, second press)
A basic step sequencer and channel rack implementation. Ninth column enables/disables channels. Hold in ninth column keys to preview the channel's sound (while playback/performance is not active) and display a menu for quickly setting a routing lock for note mode or one of the 16 custom mode indices to that channel. Settings toggle for half-height mode to display twice the steps for a maximum of four channels.
Performance mode (5th key on the top, first press while FL Studio's performance mode is active)
A basic controller for FL Studio's performance mode with panning. Similar to the official Mk2 script and its derivatives. Ninth column first four pads hotkeys to jump to four distinct pages. Press the up and down arrows simultaneously to replace the ninth column with a modwheel fader.
Hybrid performance mode (double tap of the 5th key while in performance mode to toggle)
Supports arbitrary panning across a 16x16 area, past those bounds functions like regular performance mode. For empty clip slots, fall back to our mapped FPC banks. Allowing per-pad choice between playlist clip/pattern playback and oneshot drum rack playback through FPC.
Modulator mode (5th key on the top, second press while FL Studio's performance mode is active. First otherwise.)
Pages for XY pad, horizontal faders, and vertical faders. Microvalues like official firmware are supported. Recenter bipolar faders by pressing both center buttons simultaneously.
Lights out (5th key on the top, long hold)
Toggle all LED output on and off globally.
Rec button (8th key on top)
Two main functions: Hold to toggle record arm, release a short press to toggle playback.
This is presently highly experimental code I created for personal use that I am sharing. Tested with 25.2. I mostly just wanted note/custom mode support on the MK2 since I'm not really a lightshow or DJing guy. It was put together in three days with significant AI help, with a fourth day for debugging edge cases. First version WILL have issues. Want support for Launchpad Pro models with a less cramped layout? Send me one, lmao. I don't have one.

Ever since I saw Prismatic’s video, I fell in love, and now I can finally try it out for myself. The project file is here after many years!
This is so fun to play. I LOVE fast paced projects like this, and it’s sampled incredibly well (despite the project mainly focused on the light effect design). Go play it for yourself and check out the insane Colour Cannon video. This is coming across as a bit of a promotional thing, but I just love this too much, that I had to share.

I recently got myself a Launchpad X because I was tired of only ever using MIDI keyboards to make music and wanted to mix things up.
Then I discovered that it has MIDI in...
Needless to say, I haven't made any music with it yet, but I did make a program that makes the lights blink real nice.
The video is a screen recording of the UI overlayed with a video of what's happening on the Launchpad during playback.
Here's the program if you want to play around with it. It's browser-based and does not require any hardware to start building a light show. Note that it's not really intended for mobile use:

A while ago I impulse-bought a Launchpad Mini MK3, not realising it was quite dependent on Mac/Windows software. I only have Linux. But it can do midi in & out, programmer mode... Latest plaything :

(there are more useful Launchpad plugins nearby)
I did a video short which looks rubbish - but I stumbled on a glider!
