You should try Monomod simple. Its less crash prone, since it doesn't have all the Live API calls included that are used in conjunction with the TouchOSC template I use. It supports Launchpad only.
I've had crashes when deleting the Monomod instance before, but usually only when in edit mode. Try turning off the plugin before deleting.
As far as LED's not working anymore, I have a few questions:
Were the lights on the GUI of the plugin still working? Was the Launchpad still responding to keypresses?
If the answer to the first question was no, then M4L must've broken the internal send. Nothing I can do about it...problem with M4L and interpatch communication. However, I haven't had that happen in a long time in my own sets. If the answer to the second question was no, then you just need to delete the Launchpad from the control surfaces menu in Live prefs and reinstantiate it, then hit the reset button on the Monomod plugin. I'm currently looking into this.
The buttons on the far right (presumably this is what you are refering too): top four are velocity assignments for the steps, Low to High. If you select Low, then whatever step you create will be at the Low setting of the velocity range, if you select High then it will be at the High velocity range. The bottom right four buttons control the speed of the plugin, from top to bottom they are 1X, 2X, 3X, and triplet.
Thanks for the feedback, please let me know a little bit more about your experience.
@ #1thelark: no, unfortunately the plugins cannot be modular outside of M4L, unless you own a full copy of MaxMSP. I ported them from that environment. If I get enough requests, I may make a standalone version of Plinko at some point that would work outside of M4L, but I don't have any plans for that presently. I would have to completely redesign the Launchpad interface, since it utilizes the API within Live.
Thanks
