First Steps

Today I have made discoveries and advancements in understanding the launchpad X and its functionality with light interfaces and MIDI control. By looking through the programmers guide to the launchpad, I found the programmer mode which disables all the presets for DAW interfaces so t

hat it is easier to control from a programming language like ChucK. All the individual buttons on the launchpad are assigned a decimal number from 11 to 99 which can be controlled through MIDI messages to designate color and state of illumination such as Solid, Pulse, or Flash. I made a script that lights up the board line by line with a different color on each block,

looping over again turning them off. For the next step I plan to integrate an interactive element to control color or speed.
