For example, you might not want LK to listen directly to the controller because you plan to use a the controller with a number of apps and use a script or MIDI filter that sits between the launchpad controls and any apps/plugins to direct the controls where you said: One thing to note for potential hardware buyers, lightning iPad doesn’t provide enough power for the Launchpad X, you need a powered usb hub. One thing to note for potential hardware buyers, lightning iPad doesn’t provide enough power for the Launchpad X, you need a powered usb said: Can the ‘capture midi’ button be assigned to that? Great having the solos, mutes, stops, record enables and triggers on the launchpad, but I still have to keep reaching for the iPad to toggle record once I’ve practised a part. One thing I’m missing is LK’s master record toggle on the launchpad X. It’s clearly a problem for but I’m happy dedicating the Launchpad X clip launching to LK.Īll working well so far. I’m not sure other than the Launchpad App itself this would affect many other Apps? The issue would be with the Launchpad’s session / control input. This doesn’t apply to note input, that works through AUM’s midi routing. Anyway, my main point was that it really does need to be an option to not have the controller automatically listen on the hardware input. But I expect that people will try to have something like the LPX working both with LK and with something else at the same time. He was saying that LK was grabbing the LPX even when he didn't want it to.

I was referring to wanting to use the controller for something else at the same time that it's in use as a dedicated controller for LK. You'll still get people wanting to do both at the same time, but it'll just have to be explained to them that it has to be either / or.ĭefine "wanting to do both at the same time" There are a number of apps that are rendered difficult to use because they listen to hardware you want them to said: Please add a way to ignore hardware input and only listen to MIDI sent from the host. How many of you have already tried LK with AKAI APC Mini, AKAI Apc Key 25, Novation Launchpad Mini and Novation Launchpad X? We would love to hear about your experience so far. The solution is to have a panel somewhere in LK that says if we want or not to use a certain device for LK control, otherwise, if LK is open and the device is recognized, LK will always assume that device is a dedicated controller to be used. I was already expecting something like the problem you are having.

This means that the Audio Unit is capable of knowing which midi devices have been plugged and trigger the necessary sequence of commands to reflect the state on the device. What we did was to talk directly with the operating system via Core Midi, just like we do in the standalone. How could we distinguish midi input from multiple controllers if there is a single entry point that has always the same name? We have LK Input as midi input for the Audio Unit, so.

It seems that the Audio Unit architecture allows multiple midi outputs but only a single midi input for an audio unit extension. I have disabled all that I can see for it to connect.ĭedicated controllers in a AU plugin is something tricky. I want to use the LPX as triggering Launchpad APP in AUM which it does but at same time it goes back to auto connect to LK. How can LK still be receiving midi from it if I have disabled? I have midi set to none and in settings have it un ticked.
