Setting up a Custom Mode
Custom Modes are created and edited on Novation Components. When
Components is loaded on your computer, Launchpad Mini will connect
automatically.
If the product name next to the home icon (in the top right-hand corner) is not
Launchpad Mini, press the home icon and select Launchpad Mini from the list of
products.
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.
