A quick question to the devs;
Is there a way of showing the new pad pages on my launchpad?
If not then it would be nice if they were to show either on page 2, the top 2 rows of pads where the hot cues are at present ...
or,
on a seperate page, page 4 is empty on mine at present ;-)
I know that you've got a lot to do updating the vast range of controllers, but I'd really like to have all the pretty lights working on mine as well.
best regards

Ok first decide your layout, I'd go for 4*2 layout for the pads and a 4*1 layout on top of that for param 1 param 2, and 2 buttons on to of that for pad page +/-
first [may or may not be needed but it will do no harm] the shift mapping
BUT VERT 8
looks like this
set '$shift' 1 while_pressed
change it to this
set '$shift' 1 while_pressed & shift
so here's the mapping for one button and it's LED
PAD 1-1
var '$mk2page' 0 ? var '$shift' ? sampler_stop 1 : sampler_pad 1 : var '$mk2page' 1 ? var '$shift' ? deck left delete_cue 1 : deck left hot_cue 1 : var '$mk2page' 2 ? deck left effect_active 1 : var '$mk2page' 3 ? nothing : var '$mk2page' 4 ? nothing : var '$mk2page' 5 ? nothing : nothing
LED PAD 1-1
var '$mk2page' 0 ? get_sample_color 1 : var '$mk2page' 1 ? deck left cue_color 1 : var '$mk2page' 2 ? deck left effect_active 1 ? constant 'cyan' : constant 'blue' : var '$mk2page' 3 ? nothing : var '$mk2page' 4 ? nothing : var '$mk2page' 5 ? nothing : nothing
now you said page 4, so look at this on the pad mapping [pages start at 0 so page 4 to humans is page 3 to nerds and machines]
var '$mk2page' 3 ? nothing
replace 'nothing' with
deck 1 pad 1
look at the same bit on the led mapping
var '$mk2page' 3 ? nothing
replace 'nothing' with
deck 1 pad_button_color 1
that's basically what you do for pads 1 to 8
ok for your 4*1 row you do the same except on the button mappings you replace 'nothing' with one of the following
deck 1 pad_param +1
deck 1 pad_param -1
deck 1 pad_param2 +1
deck 1 pad_param2 -1
and the 2 buttons above for pad page
deck 1 pad_page +1
deck 1 pad_page -1
I'm not sure on how you would colour these 6 buttons so wait for staff
but that's it
If I had an mk2 I'd make one of the 2 spare buttons [imagining that you have 4 decks worth of pads] a button that calls
deck 1 pad_page 'index'
and I'd make a pad page called index and from that pad page you can go to other pad pages
by adding stuff like
deck 1 pad_page 'hotcues'
deck 1 pad_page 'sampler'
on the pad editor
then you still have one spare button per deck
