How to use

Export a MIDI clip from Live (typically the tutorial track), drag the saved MIDI file on to the LaunchTab page and it will draw a launchpad for each new key combination, there is no indication of timing, just the buttons you need to press

If multicolour mode is enabled (default) the buttons will be lit according to their velocity, if disabled they will be shown in red
Held notes can be displayed in a alternate colour (default), blue or in their orginal colour (good for light shows), or hidden altogether

Show/hide tracks

Click on the track numbers at the top of the page to show and hide tracks, an underline shows when the track is turned on, a dashed line is shown while the track loads

Exporting from Live Lite

If you are using Live Lite you may find saving & exporting are disabled, as a workaround you can use a MIDI loopback device and record into another program running on your computer
Try loopMIDI to record into Reaper if you are on Windows
