Package: novation-launchpad
novation-launchpadA Python library for launchpad mini, mk2 and pro devices with examples.This library is based on the wonderfullaunchpad.pylibrary by FMMT666. The only difference between this library and the other version is that this one usespython-rtmidiinstead of PyGame.It is also based onlaunchpad_rtmidi.pylibrary by dhilowitz. The differences between this library and the other version is that this one uses callback function instead of poll for read data and support Python 3.Tested on Launchpad Mk2 device.Installpip install -U novation-launchpador clone de repo and install withpip install -e .UseShow theexmaplesfolder.Use the Launchpad like a PianoShow 8x8 rgb imagesGet the firmware versionCreate a fake Launchpad MIDI portsI don't pretend update the repo, It is a simple project that I made playing with my Launchpad and I just decided to share it ;), but pull requests are welcome.I add the content of the original README file for more information.launchpad.pyANovation Launchpadcontrol suite forPython.If you ever dreamed of using your Launchpad for completely other stuff than music: Welcome !-)Compatible with most [tm] single board computers.Watch a 6s videohere.Or take a look atthat one.What about the brand new Launchpad Pro support?Right!Hey - and the Mac?

  Regarding that, as well as the fact that PyGame somehow reached its
  end of life, I am currently looking for other Midi libraries or implementations.
- I bought a Launchpad Pro. Time to implement this, although I am not sure
  what will come first, building a new Midi system or implementing the Pro.CHANGES 2015/02/21:- Support for multiple Launchpads now finally built in. Use 'em all:

with Windows 7/10). I cannot tell you any more than just "try!".The latest fixes (4/2017) were tested with v1.9.3 (via pip from Python 2.7.13)
and Windows 10 (x64).

not recognizing any attached Launchpads on newer systems, especially Ubuntu 17/18,
you might consider compiling your own PyGame version.This explanation is for Ubuntu 18.04-LTS and Python 3, but it should work [tm] for most other systems too.Additional package requirements, install them withsudo apt-get install <package name>I recommend installing these one after another (for easy "debugging")git

You need to poll the buttons' or
potentiometer's values manually.Notice that actually nothing will get lost, but every event you create will be buffered (until you run out
or memory :). If you don't poll the buttons or potentiometers regulary, your might end up with thousands
of old states and values, blocking the current input.Especially rotating a potentiometer or pushing a slider, creates an event for each single value that
was sampled. This can easily be hundreds of messages in a few seconds.So either poll regulary or use the ButtonFlush()/InputFlush() method to clear everything.Also notice that the buffer might be filled right after you started your application...For Launchpad Mk1 users (the original "Classic" Launchpad):USE CLASS "Launchpad":

    lp = launchpad.Launchpad()For Launchpad Pro usersUSE CLASS "LaunchpadPro":

    lp = launchpad.LaunchpadPro()

  As of 2016/01/24, the "Pro" is now automatically set to "Ableton Live mode",
  which is required for launchpad.py to work.For Launchpad Mk2 usersUSE CLASS "LaunchpadMk2":

    lp = launchpad.LaunchpadMk2()For Launch Control XL usersUSE CLASS "LaunchControlXL":

    lp = launchpad.LaunchControlXL()For LaunchKey (Mini) usersEven it is named "Mini", it also supports most of the bigger keyboards' functionalities.Notice that some of the button and key numbers collide and cannot be differed.USE CLASS "LaunchKeyMini":

    lp = launchpad.LaunchKeyMini()For Dicer usersUSE CLASS "Dicer":

    lp = launchpad.Dicer()The Dicer uses "page" mode by default. The three small buttons "cue", "loop" and "auto loop"
select six different pages (per Dicer module) and each of those can be handled independently.The first set of the six mode is enabled by simply pushing (and releasing) on of the three mode
buttons, the second set, "shift-mode" is activated by holding down one of the mode buttons while
pushing a number button.So, if the "cue" page is active and you try to activate an LED in the "loop" page, that
will not be visible until you activate that page.alsa.conf issuesSeveral users reported errors because of a missing alsa.conf file, e.g.:ALSA lib conf.c:3009:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /etc/alsa/alsa.conf
ALSA lib seq.c:935:(snd_seq_open_noupdate) Unknown SEQ defaultIf /etc/alsa/alsa.conf does not exist, you can create a symbolic link to where it resides on
your system. Find it with:find /etc /usr -name "alsa.conf"If that command cannotfind "alsa.conf" (a common place is /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf), you
probably don't have Alsa installed at all.In all other cases, you can create a symbolic link from /etc/alsa/alsa.conf to the real, existing file
(assuming /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf here).Warning: Double check whether /etc/alsa/alsa.confreallydoes not exist first!sudo mkdir /etc/alsa
sudo ln -s /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf /etc/alsa/alsa.confAfter that, you still might experience that Launchpad.py cannot find any MIDI devices.The output from "lp.ListAll()" does not return anything and executing the "hello.py" example just shows
something like:Exception AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'quit'" in <bound method __Midi.__del__
... of <launchpad_py.launchpad.__Midi instance at 0x7f0860cb3128>> ignoredIn this case, the default sequencer entries might be missing in your alsa.conf.You might wish to add this to your alsa.conf:#
#  Sequencer interface
#

seq.default {
  type hw
  hint.description "Added by experts. Source: Internet \o/"
}

seq.hw {
type hw
}Thanks toMartinPaulEvefor pointing that out.Please notice that this "fix" won't work on all systems. While it does, for example,
work with Ubuntu 17.04, the same error usually just indicates that your system was not
built with a PyGame compatible ALSA (PortMidi) version.There is no easy fix for this (unless you wish to spend a lot of time completely recompiling your system...)For Mac usersMac Python and PygameGood news, everybody. It now works with macOS Sierra \o/Best part: It even works with the stock "Apple Python".Pygame can be installed via "pip". Just enter "pip" on the console
to see whether it is installed:pipIf it isn't, you can install it with:sudo easy_install pipIf pip is working, search for Pygame via pip (console command):sudo pip search pygameSomewhere in the list, you should see something likePygame (1.9.2b8)   - Python Game DevelopmentInstall that with:sudo pip install pygameHardwareNotice that the original Launchpad Mk1 requires an USB driver. Thanks,Stewart!.Get it fromhere(Novation USB Driver-2.7.dmg).As it seems, all newer Launchpads work right out of the box, no driver required.For Raspberry Pi usersPlease notice that some the newer RGB LED Launchpads consume more current than a
Raspberry Pi can deliver. If you turn on a lot of LEDs, the Launchpad will just reset and show the fireworks demo.At least for the Launchpad Pro, you could use an external power supply adapter. For the Mk2, you
would need a an "USB-Y" cable, with the "power plug" connected to an external power supply (or other PC).As written somewhere above, at least for Raspbian (Jesse), you should install Raspbian's PyGame version
via the package manager or apt. The PyPI version (installation via "pip") will not work due to some missing SDL components.Btw, you can check your Raspbian version with the console commandcat /etc/os-releaseWhich outputs something comparable toPRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="8"
VERSION="8 (jessie)"
...For Windows usersMIDI implementation in PyGame 1.9.2+ is broken and running this might
  bring up an 'insufficient memory' error ( pygame.midi.Input() ).

  SOLUTION: use v1.9.1 or try v1.9.3For Linux and especially Raspberry-Pi users:Due to some bugs in PyGame's MIDI implementation, the buttons of the Launchpad Mk1
  won't work after you restarted a program (LEDs are not affected).

  WORKAROUND #2: Simply hit one of the AUTOMAP keys (the topmost 8 buttons).
                 For whatever reason, this makes the MIDI button events
                 appearing again...

  WORKAROUND #1: Pull the Launchpad's plug out and restart... (annoying).Other NotesLaunchpad (Pro) not recognized, playing fireworks demoJust discovered another oddity...I attached a Launchpad Pro to my Linux box, as many times before, to finally add the
button methods, but it refused to show up as an USB device. Instead of the "note mode",
indicated by a turquoise/pink colour pattern, it played that "fireworks animation" and
did nothing...The first time I discovered that, I blamed it on an attached FTDI UART chip, but as it
turned out, that was not the reason it didn't work.It simply was a power issue.So, if your Launchpad Pro shows that firework demo, check your USB cable!Seriously. That thing draws a lot of current and most USB cables simply
do not conform to the USB standard (or your USB port isn't, e.g. Raspberry Pi).On Linux, you can check that via the console command "dmesg".If the output contains hundreds of "urb status -32" errors, followed by...

hasdrumrollAWG 28 (~240mOhm/m) and two thick plastic strings to fill the gaps.Well, we all know that companies try to save money wherever they can, but that's just
fraud...Btw, the fireworks demo will play whenever the Launchpad cannot be enumerated (configured).[...]Common class methods overview (valid for all devices)Device control functionsOpen( [name], [number], [template (*1*)] )

Please notice that some devices have up to six MIDI entries!.

(1) Notice that <template> is only valid for the Launch Control XL pad.
A number of 1..8 selects and activates a user template (1 by default)
or 9..16 a factory one.
This corresponds to holding down one of the "Template buttons" and
selecting the template number via the bottom button row.

A dump by ListAll(), with a "Pro", a Mk1 "Mini" and a "Mk2" might look like:

    ('ALSA', 'Midi Through Port-0', 0, 1, 0)
    ('ALSA', 'Midi Through Port-0', 1, 0, 0)
    ('ALSA', 'Launchpad Pro MIDI 1', 0, 1, 1)
    ('ALSA', 'Launchpad Pro MIDI 1', 1, 0, 1)
    ('ALSA', 'Launchpad Pro MIDI 2', 0, 1, 0)

    ('ALSA', 'Launch Control XL MIDI 1', 1, 0, 1)

You'll only need to count the entries if you have two or more identical Launchpads attached.

  PARAMS: <number>   OPTIONAL, number of Launchpad to open.
                     1st device = 0, 2nd device = 1, ...
                     Defaults to 0, the 1st device, if not given.
          <name>     OPTIONAL, only consider devices whose names contain
                     the string <name>. The default names for the classes are:
                       Launchpad()       -> "Launchpad"
                       LaunchpadMk2()    -> "Mk2"
                       LaunchpadPro()    -> "Pro"
                       LaunchControlXL() -> "Control XL"
                       LaunchKeyMini()   -> "Launchkey" (should work for all variants)
                     It is sufficient to search for a part of the string, e.g.
                     "chpad S" will find a device named "Launchpad S" or even
                     "Novation Launchpad S"
          <template> OPTIONAL, ONLY CONTROL XL
                     The Launch Control XL supports eight user and eight factory settings,
                     selectable via the two "Template" burrons on the top right.
                     By default, Launchpad.py uses the template "User 1".
                     1.. 8 -> select user template    1..8
                     9..16 -> select factory template 1..8

  RETURN: True     success
          False    error

As of 12/2016, the name search patterns are case insensitive, hence strings like "mk2", "pRo"
or even "lAunCHpAd MiNI" are valid too.

Notice that the default name for the class Launchpad(), the "Mk1" or "Classic" Launchpads,
will also react to an attached "Pro" or "Mk2" model. In that case, it's required to either
enter the complete name (as shown by "ListAll()").


  EXAMPLES:
          # Open the first device attached:
          lp.Open()

          # Open the 2nd Launchpad:
          lp.Open( 1 )

          # Open the 3rd Launchpad Mini:
          lp.Open( 2, "Launchpad Mini")

          # alternative:
          lp.Open( name = "Launchpad Mini", number = 0)

          # open the 1st "Mk2"
          lp = launchpad.LaunchpadMk2()    # notice the "Mk2" class!
          lp.Open()                        # equals Open( 0, "Mk2" )

          # open the 1st "Pro"
          lp = launchpad.LaunchpadPro()    # notice the "Pro" class!
          lp.Open()                        # equals Open( 0, "Pro" )

          # open the 1st "XL" with user template 3
          lp = launchpad.LaunchControlXL( template = 3 )
          lp.Open()

          # open the 1st "XL" with factory template 2
          lp = launchpad.LaunchControlXL( template = 10 )
          lp.Open()Check( [number], [name] )Checks if a device is attached.
Uses exactly the same notation as Open(), but only returns True or False,
without opening anything.

Like Open(), this method uses different default names for the different classes:
  Launchpad()        -> "Launchpad"
  LaunchpadMk2()     -> "Mk2"
  LaunchpadPro()     -> "Pro"
  LaunchControlXL()  -> "Control XL"
  LaunchKeyMini()    -> "Launchkey"

Notice that it's absolutely safe to query for an "Pro" or "Mk2" from all classes, e.g.:

  lp = lauchpad.Launchpad()        # Launchpad "Mk1" or "Classic" class
  if lp.Check( 0, "Pro" ):         # check for "Pro"
    lp = launchpad.LaunchpadPro()  # "reload" the new class for the "Pro"
    lp.Open()                      # equals lp.Open( 0, "Pro" )

Search patterns are case insensitive.

Too short times will overflow the Launchpad's buffer and mess up
the screen.

For future compatibility, it is highly recommended to use

+++   It is recommended to always call this with a "blue" parameter.
+++   The compatibility mode will be removed soon. 

Controls an LED via its number and red, green and blue intensity values.

This method uses system-exclusive MIDI messages, which require 10 bytes to
be sent for each message. For a faster version, hence less comfortable version,
see LedCtrlRawByCode() below (though even sending 10 bytes is pretty fast on the Pro).

If <blue> is omitted, this method runs in "Mk1" compatibility mode, which only
had red/green LEDs and intensities ranging from 0..3. In that mode, the input
arguments are multiplied by 21, to map 0..3 to 0..63.

Notice that the "Pro" and "Mk2" have different LED number layouts.
Please see tables, somewhere below.

  PARAMS: <number>    number of the LED to control

  RETURN:LedCtrlRawByCode( number, [colorcode] )Controls an LED via its number and color code.
If <colorcode> is omitted, 'white' is used.
This is about three times faster than the comfortable RGB method LedCtrlRaw().

  RETURN:LedCtrlPulseByCode( number, colorcode )Controls an LED via its number and color code, as "LedCtrlRawByCode()" does,
but pulsing the LED instead of just turning it on or off.
If <colorcode> is omitted, 'white' is used.
Pulsing can be turned off by simply sending another on/off command.
The pulsing rate can be (roughly) set by LedCtrlBpm()

Notice that there is no RGB control variant of this method (not supported by Launchpad).

An additional <mode> parameter determines the origin of the x-axis.

For "Pro" only:
  By default, if <mode> is omitted, the origin of the x axis is the left side
  of the 8x8 matrix, like in the "Mk1" mode (those devices had no round buttons

The first color can be set by any "LedCtrl...()" command, the second color and the
activation of the flashing is then done by this method.
Flashing can be turned off by simply sending another on/off/color command.
The flashing rate can be (roughly) set by LedCtrlBpm()

  RETURN:LedCtrlBpm( bpm )EXPERIMENTAL/PRELIMINARY

Sets the LED's pulsing or flashing frequency in beats per minute (bpm).
By default, the Launchpads are set to 120 bpm.

Notice that this comes with several restrictions (yet):

 - This function blocks for 67.5 / bpm seconds, e.g.:
      40 bpm - 1688 ms
     100 bpm -  675 ms
     240 bpm -  281 ms
    so it should only be called if absolutely necessary, preferably right in the beginning.

  - Due to the shortest time step of 1ms and the way the Launchpads handle the timing settings,
    the bpm values are restricted to:

      10 ms - 250 bpm     23 ms - 108 bpm     36 ms -  69 bpm     49 ms -  51 bpm

Controls an LED via its x/y coordinates and red, green or blue intensity values.
An additional <mode> parameter determines the origin of the x-axis.

If <blue> is omitted, this method operates in "Mk1" compatibility mode.
The Mk1 Launchpad only had 2 bit intensity values (0..3). In compatibility
mode, these values are now multiplied by 21, to extend the range to 0..63.
That way, old, existing code, written for the classic Launchpads does not
need to be changed.

Sends character <char> in colors <red/green/blue> (0..63 each) and
lateral offset <offsx> (-8..8) to the Launchpad.
<offsy> does not have yet any function.

It is highly recommended to use <offsx> and <offsy> as
named parameters, for compatible code with the RGB Launchpads, e.g.:

  lp.LedCtrlChar( 'a', 3, 2, offsx = xvar )

If <blue> is ommited, this methods runs in "Mk1" compatibility
mode and multiplies the <red> and <green> intensity values with 21, to
adapt the old 0..3 range to the new 0..63 one of the "Pro" mode.
That way, it is compatible to old, existing "Mk1" code.

Notice that the Launchpad Pro has string scrolling capabilities built in, but
this function provides the old, Mk1 compatible functionality. Advantages
are custom fonts and symbols (in the future).

Scrolls a string <str> across the Launchpad's main, 8x8 matrix.
<red/green/blue> specify the color and intensity (0..63 each).
<direction> determines the direction of scrolling.
Dirty hack: <waitms>, by default 150, delays the scrolling speed.

If <blue> is omitted, "Mk1" compatibility mode is turned on and the old
0..3 <red/green> intensity values are strechted to 0..63.

For future compatibility, it is highly recommended to use
<direction> and <waitms> as a named arguments, e.g.:

  lp.LedCtrlString( "Hello", 3,1, direction = -1, waitms = 100 )

  PARAMS:
  RETURN: True/FalseInputFlush()Flushes the Launch Control XL's input buffer.
If you do not poll the buttons or potentiometer values frequently or even if your software
is not running, the Launch Control XL will store each event in its buffer.
This function can be used to clear all button and potentiometer events.

  PARAMS:
  RETURN:InputStateRaw()Returns the state of the buttons or the value of the last potentiometer change in RAW mode.

In case the last event was caused by a button being pressed or released, this function
returns the button number and either "True" or "False" or if a potentiometer was rotated
or a slider moved, its value (0..127).

Notice that this is different from other's Launchpad "ButtonStateRaw()" methods, as it
forces you to check whether the 2nd field is a number or a boolean value.

Notice that the Control XL buttons do not support an analog velocity value.
For compatibility, either "0" or "127" are returned in the third list field, corresponding
to "False" (0) or "True" (127).

  5  auto loop + shift
  6  one page mode

See ButtonStateRaw(), LedCtrlRaw() or the Dicer's button and LED table at the end of this
document to see how mode 0..5 work.

If the "one page mode" is enabled, the mode buttons themselves do not select a bank anymore,
but return a value instead.

  PARAMS: <device>     0 = master, 1 = slave
          <mode>       0..6 as specifies above
  RETURN:ButtonStateRaw()Returns the state of the buttons in (an already nicely mapped :) RAW mode.
The returned numbers of the buttons equal the labels on the Dicer's buttons, with
the following extension (also see the LED/button mapping ASCII drawing somewhere below):

The three mode buttons "cue", "loop" and "auto loop" act as a modifier and add the following
numbers to the button value.
For "shift" operation, continue to hold down one of the three mode buttons while pressing a number.

  Master, "cue":        01 ..  05  +shift:  06 ..  10
  Master, "loop":       11 ..  15  +shift:  16 ..  20

  Slave,  "auto loop": 121 .. 115  +shift: 126 .. 130

In "one page mode", the mode buttons do not have a special function but return a value upon being pressed:

  Master, "cue":         6
  Master, "loop":        7
  Master, "auto loop":   8

  Slave,  "cue":       106
  Slave,  "loop:       107

  RETURN:LedCtrlRaw( number, hue, intensity )Control an LED via its number, a hue and intensity information.
The number of the LED to control corresponds to the button's labels 1..5,

  Slave,  "auto loop": 121 .. 115  +shift: 126 .. 130

In "one page mode", the mode LEDs can be controlled via:

  Master, "cue":         6
  Master, "loop":        7
  Master, "auto loop":   8

  Slave,  "cue":       106
  Slave,  "loop:       107
  Slave,  "auto loop": 108

The mode can either be set by pushing/holding down the corresponding buttons
or via ModeSet( <device>, <mode> ).

The color shade can be controlled with <hue>, avalue from 0..7:

  0  red
  1  red-orange
  2  orange
  3  orange-amber
  4  amber
  5  yellow
  6  yellow-green
