Okay, I am trying to setup my Launchpad with Katapult to control Live in a DJ rig; one page for faders, next for fx, then sends, etc. Try as I might, I can never get Live/LP to accept that Katapult is using a different midi channel for each page - depending on how I set midi up in preferences it only seems to be operating across channel 5 or 1.
That means we are getting some serious conflicts and there is much frustration and potential for damage to valuables in my near vicinity. Even putting manual channel change entries into the Katapult txt file doesn't change anything.
Has anyone got Katapult to work across multiple pages as it says it will?
If so, can they post some screenshots of their preferences in Live and any tips they have.
Note that I want to be able to control Live clips with the LP session view and then switch to user 1 let Katapult do everything else.
Much appreciated.
Launchpad Midi Channel
Re: Launchpad Midi Channel
I know this is an old post, but I just bought a LaunchPad recently and I'm keen to create custom layouts.
I downloaded Katapult a couple of days ago. It is excellent.
It's so simple, you just edit the layout.txt and the commands are straightforward. The documentation is pretty clear and overall, considering the app is now FREE it's a great solution to editing the LaunchPad.
BUT!
I, like electronikstorm, can't get the LaunchPad to transmit anything on another midi channel, therefore rendering multiple pages non-functioning in Ableton.
I see that Katapult is no longer supported and the creator's email is dead and the Katapult forum no longer exists.
Am I too late to the party?
And while I'm at it: Why haven't Novation ever released something simple that allows users to customise the LaunchPad layout? Dicks.
