I am experiencing the same issue. I am using Live 12.
No problems in my live 12.1.5. I can adjust the notes lengths as I like. I got a warning like "...this script uses an old API..." but after validating, everything is ok.
Today, I used the latest version of Launchpad95 with Live 12.1.5, but the same issue remained. Since it is working fine on your end, the problem might be on my side. Did you perform any special operations or additional settings?

Thank you. Yes, I am using a Launchpad Pro. It seems likely that this issue is specific to the Pro version.

Lauchpad95 not showing as control surface on drop down menu

Post by systemattik » Thu May 29, 2025 8:48 am

Hi,

I am not sure if this has got to do with an issue with Ableton update.

I had launchpad 95 fully working until recently.

Now for some reason it's not showing on the control surface drop down menu. I have re-installed the folder into 'user' directory as per instructions.

Current version : Ableton 12.1.11
OS : Windows 11

Just thought to give heads up in case the script needs updating.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Thanks,
Music beyond words

Thanks mots and everyone else who contributed to this script. I'm using it on Live 12, macOS with a LaunchPad X and have a couple of questions:

1. I created a custom finger drumming template using Novation Components. Is there any way I can access this when using the Launchpad95 script? I see in Settings.py that I can enable user1 and user2 but these just appear to be empty when I load them.

2. When I switch between modes, the fourth pad from the left on the bottom row lights up orange and remains lit until something triggers a colour change. It doesn't seem to affect functionality and is more a visual glitch I think. Edit: also in combined drum seq mode I also see several pads which should be unlit instead appear orange. It's weird because the orange pads move vertically when I scroll the notes.

The project site mentions "fixed clip length" recording in Pro Session Mode, but I can't figure out how to use this feature. Anyone got fixed clip length working?

EDIT: figured it out. Hold down the fifth button down on the right (labelled Stop Clip)

EDIT: SOLVED: My mac was causing my SSDs to “sleep” and when that happened, it caused the audio engine to freeze/hang. For anyone having weird issues that seem to be linked to control surface scripts, make sure you tell your mac to not put your drives to sleep!::

I'm using Launchpad 95 with Live 12.2.7, and I think it's causing crashes. I'm getting the following log messages:

2026-06-29T16:25:11.398665: info: Python: INFO:_Framework.ControlSurface:398 - LOG: (Launchpad) Got unknown sysex message: (240, 0, 32, 41, 2, 13, 14, 1, 247)

Can anyone make sense of this? I've tried using Google Gemini to analyze some log messages but I'm not making any progress in stopping the crashes :/

I suppose I'd need a new version of Launchpad 95 but I already have the latest version from GitHub. Thanks !
