The idea behind the project is give the user more control over the launchpad than automap does and allow the user to custimise the layout and functions of the launchpad to their own preferences.

Features supported so far are…

• Hold button
• Toggle button
• Horizontal fader
• Vertical fader
• Horizontal slider-zone
• Vertical slider-zone

Currently the app is in beta and the source code has been released so there will be bugs.

This video comes all the way from Tokyo and shows a live performance at Loop using 2 launchpads and what I can only guess is Ableton Live. I’ve been trying to find more videos of 2 launchpads in action but so far I havn’t seen many. I also havn’t seen many videos of the launchpad in live performance, are most launchpad users keeping them at home?
