Standalone polymetric arpeggiator firmware for the Launchpad Pro
- Play 8 independent sequences
- MIDI out to up to 8 devices
- 8 scales to choose from
- Independently dial combinations of Euclidean rhythms
To upload it to your Launchpad Pro, you'll need a sysex tool for your host platform (I'd love to get it working from the virtual machine, but that's for later). I recommend Sysex Librarian on macOS, and MIDI OX on Windows. On Linux, I'll bet you already have a tool in mind.
I won't describe how to use these tools, I'm sure you already know - and if you don't, their documentation is superior to mine! Here's what you need to do:
- Unplug your Launchpad Pro
- Hold the "Setup" button down while connecting it to your host via USB (ensure it's connected to the host, and not to a virtual machine!)
- The unit will start up in "bootloader" mode
- Send your polypad.syx file to the device MIDI port - it will briefly scroll "upgrading..." across the grid.
- Wait for the update to complete, and for the device to reboot!
Tip - set the delay between sysex messages to as low a value as possible, so you're not waiting about for ages while the firmware uploads!
