When i switch to sequencer screen the launchpad shows me my patterns just as i see them on the NerdSEQ Screen. i can also mute/unmute and scroll up and down and also start patterns. But after i started the sequencer the playhead/clockposition is moving horizontally from left to right, i can not stop patterns or the sequencer, i can not open a pattern from sequencer screen
If i open a pattern a pattern the "classical" way, the launchpad follows and shows me the pattern screen, playhead is still running horizontally from left to right and i can set triggers (E1) in horizontal order so the buttons in the first row are from left to right the steps 0-7 in pattern screen from top to bottom.

Anyone else facing that problem with his/her Launchpad (Mini, mk3)?

This one need to be set up to MK3 (either with or without * that depends on your needs). Mini host is for the old 2 colour one and not suitable for the MK3 versions.

For the rest it doesn't sound like an issue but as it works. Left to right is correct. You use the buttons on the right combined with the grid to select patterns, start/stop, go to the pattern screen.
Pressing the buttons on the grid only will launch the pattern.

Check the launchpad part in the manual (for sure the preliminary manual for V2.0 since it covers also the difference of the different launchpad types) to see what it can do and how it works.
OMFG, this is really embarrassing. i would like to say that i was just too excited but i guess i was just blatant stupid and too focused on how i thought it will be like i (and yes i did read the manual) I am honestly sorry for wasting your time
Hello all,

I recieved my Multi-IO and it´s working fine with my launchpad mini mk3 so far (after installing the latest firmware update of the launchpad). 

There is one thing which is a bit confusing to me. If I set triggers with the launchpad in a normal Modular-Track, it automatically sets "E1" (Ratcheting) triggers. If I tap the triggers in with H (Shift) on the Launchpad, it sets short "20" triggers. Is there any way to choose which triggers I wanna set? If I press a step and turn the encoder on the Multi-IO it also sets "E1" triggers.

Cheers,
Jan
Hi All,

I just received my Multi-IO and have it working with my LP mini mk3. I’ve noticed that the grid doesn’t show any notes on MIDI tracks. I thought it was because of having MIDI channel over rule, but it didn’t make a difference to change it to just one MIDI channel (perhaps it’s the complexity of visualizing the polyphony?). I’m sequencing mostly mono-synth voices, so wondering if it’s possible at all, or is this feature not available for MIDI tracks?

Best,

Khenu

Not yet implemented for midi, indeed because it can be 4 notes and I am not sure yet how a good integration should be with that. Thats why it is still beta.
Be sure to also check in the manual for what is possible at the current stage. Also if you or anyone got good ideas for the other track types etc, let me know!
I tried my Launchpad X and Pro Mk3 on my new Multi-IO. I see the track colors when I switch modes, but as soon as the grid refreshes they got back to white.

edit: Ahhh, so they are colored only when the seq isn't running.

Did you set it up correctly?

Could it be done in 16 step increments, such that all four notes are visualized on a page, perhaps different colors to distinguish?  Then with a button, you could move to the next 16 steps and so on, for longer patterns?  This way one could sequence all four notes polyphonically on the Launchpad, in 16 beat chunks if desired?
Hi, I am a new user and I am currently exploring the launchpad icw the trigger 16 expander.
I think it works really nice how you can edit 8 outputs with the launch pad!
Small thing: I like how you can select the next 8 steps as well, but for a 16 step sequence it scrolls down in the pattern view so that you don't see the top 8 anymore. I would like it that it would only scroll if necessary.

What I miss is an option to select the other 8 outputs while editing. I know that there is a  'swap outputs' track setting, but I didn't figure out a way to do it directly.

Maybe there is a way to make a mapping possible to connect the Z button of the I2C expander to this track setting? (are those buttons available as inputs?)
Alternatively I might couple a press of the Pattern button to it (alternating).
I also didn't find that destination yet, but maybe the TREF type trigger can be coupled to it? Not sure how yet btw. TREF appears to be local, or is it possible to send it from another track to change the setting of the current track?

One issue with TREF is that it doesn't send and update message to the launchpad, so the new state is not reflected yet on the launchpad.
EDIT: how TREF is handled in the normal trigger columns (ie not the pattern view) is also a bit odd: it doesn't seem to do anything initially, but after you scroll left/right (triggering an update I guess) you see the triggers of the other 8 outputs. However the labels above the tracks still mention the previous 8 outputs, so this might lead you to think that you editing something else.
Like I said, I am new to this, maybe I should approach this another way, any ideas/suggestions?

While trying this I found a little bug with the combination: swap outputs==on, launchpad and pattern view
The launchpad presses set or remove triggers on the expected steps, however the active location in the pattern (red) is wrong: it is activating the location as if swap outputs is off. (I have made a video of this, Thomas let me know if you would like to see it)

My other thought is that I am considering trying to use a launchpad (or monome grid which I already have) to trigger resolume clips that I want to "attach" to specific clips on my nerdseq.  Does or will the nerdseq send midi data to the launchpad so that its grid can know which buttons to illuminate and if so would you try to split the midi out of the launchpad and send it into my computer for resolume?  I know that the nerdseq does not support midi through but I am basically trying to use a grid type controller to trigger both video and audio that will be schematically in the same form.  I hope im not rambling and making sense.
This interests me as well- is there a way to simultaneously launch clips in resolume (or any other devices)  with the launch commands coming from the launchpad mini mk3?

maybe by somehow mapping the info from mini mk3 to the available device port which then goes into the computer?
