Within a Custom Mode, each pad within the 8x8 grid may act as a
Note
, a
MIDI CC
(control change)
, or a
Program Change
message.
The pads may behave either as
toggles, triggers or momentary
switches.
Momentary behaviour will turn on a note when the pad is pressed and release the
note when un-pressed. Triggers will always send a specified CC value or program
change message.
Full rows and columns of pads may also act as
faders
. Faders can be assigned CC
values and may be unipolar or bipolar. Faders may be positioned horizontally or
vertically.
Pads within a Custom Mode may be assigned an “On” and “Off” colour for when
pads within the 8x8 grid are pressed/toggled. (e.g. when a note is being played or a
temporary CC change is toggled). There may only be one “On” colour per Custom
Mode, but each pad may have a unique “Off” colour.
Custom Modes may have any combination of notes, CCs, program changes and
faders – you can set up your own personalised control surface for your studio.

Lighting Pads (Advanced)
By default, Custom 3 & 4 have all pads unlit. MIDI Note messages sent to
Launchpad X will light pads according to note number and velocity. The note sent
will determine which pad lights up, and the note’s velocity will determine the
colour. This is useful for creating light displays using the 64 RGB
pads.
