Hello bought Bome to use Novation Launch Control to control some Media Players.

It works very well. But one thing!

How can i turn on the Lights on my Launch Control ?

I found this article but iam very new in this topic.

Which medi message must i send to turn on the LEDs ? Or only the LEDS which i have configured with Bome.

Thank you so much and i hope it is possible.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english

Page 4 of your link has all the information you need to turn LEDs on and off, and what color.

I find it more intuitive to input raw midi messages (hex messages) but there are a few other options with MTP.

First, connect you Launch Control, open the ports, and open the log window in MTP. When all is properly connected, a pad press will show a 3 byte message in the log window (e.g. - 90 2A 7F). According to the PDF a pad release will show a similar message, but with an 80 instead of a 90. So, once you are seeing messages, go thru each pad and document the "note" number, that is the second byte in the message (like 2A above).

In MTP, your incoming message will need to match the note on message the pad sends when pressed. Since the 3rd byte of the midi message changes based on how hard you press it, you will write "pp" there... It will look like this "90 2A pp". Then, you will send the same message back to the Launch Control via the Outgoing section of the Translator, and the 3rd byte of that message will need to be your color of choice...

90 2A 0F = Red (full intensity)
Or
90 2A 1D = Amber (Low intensity)... and so on....

Play around and see what works

unfortunetly it doesent work.

i have done all the things you wrote above.

so i get that input:
MIDI 9E 09 7F, pp=0x7F

And i send it out with the 3Byte changed at the end:
MIDI 9E 09 1D

Is it correct ?

Thank you

Are you getting 8E 09 00 when you release your finger from the pad? Does the LED light up at all when you press the pad?

8E 09 pp and 9E 09 pp and nothing happends with the LEDs.

Someone an idea ?

Create these translators just as I have written them:

1. Incoming - 9E pp qq
Outgoing - BE 00 7F

2. Incoming - 8E pp qq
Outgoing - BE 00 7F

Do not write anything in the rules section.

Make sure each incoming and outgoing message is assigned to your Launch Control midi ports by selecting the specific midi port in the right hand side. I feel like your Outgoing messages are not returning back to the Launch Control properly.

A pad press or release should send the message to turn all LEDs on. Let me know.

Hello,
I find it way more easy if you use the sysex messsage protocol, then u can light up every pad of every template, without keeping track of the pads en buttons note numbers. But I am strugglin with the double buffering. It is mentioned in the docs, but no example.
F0 00 20 29 02 0A 78 TEMPLATE LED VALUE F7
Template= 00-07 (user) 08-0F (factory)
LED=00-07 (pads) 08-0B (arrow buttons)
Value=
Hex Colour Brightness
0Ch Off Off
0Dh Red Low
0Fh Red Full
1Dh Amber Low
3Fh Amber Full
3Eh Yellow Full
1Ch Green Low
3Ch Green Full

i map a key to output keystrokes F0 00 20 29 02 0A 78, so i don't have to type it every time
