User Mode & Lighting Pads (Advanced)
User Mode has the same layout as Drum Mode, however no pads on the 8x8 grid
are lit. MIDI Note messages sent to Launchpad Mini 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.
The RGB LEDs are capable of outputting 127 colours, the index of which can be
found in the Programmer’s Reference Guide.
Additionally, all pads and buttons can be lit in
Programmer Mode
.
For detailed information on lighting pads, see the Programmers Reference Guide
which can be downloaded at

Custom Modes
User Mode, Drum Mode and Keys Mode are all
Custom Modes
that provide a
deeply customisable 8x8 grid.
Custom Modes can be created & edited using
Novation Components

hub for all Novation products. You may also back up any Custom Modes you create
here. We have several Custom Mode templates for you to download and explore on

Custom modes are compatible between Launchpad Mini [MK3] and Launchpad X.
