The Launchpad BLM is implemented as a feature of the JUCE-based BLM emulator software. The launchpads don't connect to the SEQ directly. Instead, they connect to a computer running the JUCE BLM emulator - the emulator software acts as a translator, converting the BLM Protocol sysex messages into midi signals to light the LEDs on the Launchpad, and translating button presses on the Launchpad into a format the SEQ can understand. | The Launchpad BLM is implemented as a feature of the JUCE-based BLM emulator software.

- | This has been tested with Novation Launchpad Minis. Presumably, the Launchpad S should work as well, since they're essentially the same controller. The original launchpad hasn't been tested. If you have one, try it and post a comment in the forums to let us know if it works. | + | This has been tested with the Novation Launchpad Mini.

Support for button grid controllers other than the launchpad may be possible in the future. | Support for button grid controllers other than the launchpad may be possible in the future. |
