Q Light Controller+

Hey
I recently discovered that the original launchpad mini does work with the standard launchpad input profile. Feedback works too, but the LEDs don't blink. For that, I created a midiprofile which sends a command to enable that.
For everyone who prefers using the grid system (LETTER:NUMBER) of the launchpad, I created an input profile for that, too.

According to the programmers manual, those are the feedback values for the LEDs can be calculated like this:

2*(16*green+red+12-blink)
where green, red are numbers from 0 to 3 where 0 is off and 3 is max brightness
and the led blinks if blink is 4. Set blink to 0 otherwise.

I might write a tiny tool to auto-calc everything, but here are some common values:

off: 24
red low: 26
red max: 30
green low: 56
green max: 120
orange low: 58
orange max: 126
yellow max: 124
red blink max: 22
green blink max: 112
orange blink max: 118
yellow blink max: 116

in theory the blink fix should work with the original launchpad, too. I didn't test this though bc I don't have access to one right now

oh and just to be clear: do whatever you'd like with my files. also there's no warranty or anything :)

Thank u verry much!
It works great!

I'll just highjack this thread slightly, because I use a Launchpad S for quite some time now and recently aquired a Launchpad Mini mk3.

Since the Launchpad Mini mk3 has RGB buttons, it would be quite very complex to write down all the values for LED colors (also I took quite a while to figure out, that in the reference the values are of course for midi with max. 127, while QLC+ takes values up to 255 which means all values have do be doubled).

So I decided I have way too much time and take advantage of the "new" feature (when did this even come in? Didn't notice it until very recently): the Color Palette.

So I modified the input profile to have all colors from the programmer reference in it and of course the control modes for blinking, pulsing and normal.

Also I modified the midi template to briefly show "QLC+" as text when it's fired up by QLC+, so you know that it has connected succesfully. Just because I can and it was quite easy to do.

While I was at it, I did the same for the Launchpad S, which seems to have the same mapping and colors as the mini (except for the text thing, unfortunately it doesn't support that out of the box).

For the ones interested, here are the programmers reference manuals:

Thanks. Is there a reason why you disabled MIDI note off option?

I actually don't think there is, I was just testing if it has an effect and as far as I am aware it does not. When using developer mode it doesn't send MIDI notes anyway but control changes.
If not using developer mode, it could be sending MIDI notes, though if I remember correctly (I tested this but am not sure again exactly about the results, I can test it again if you want) it doesn't make a difference if note off is sent or note on with value 0 since both stops the function or button or whatever it is triggering (and also vice versa, note on with value 0 will turn off the pad as well as note off).
