User Mode & Lighting Pads (Advanced)
User Mode has the same layout as Drum Mode, however no pads on the 8x8 grid are lit. MIDI Note
messages sent to Launchpad Mini will light pads according to note number and velocity. The note
sent will determine which pad lights up, and the note’s velocity will determine the colour. This is
useful for creating light displays using the 64 RGB pads.
The RGB LEDs are capable of outputting 127 colours, the index of which can be found in the
Programmer’s Reference Guide.
Additionally, all pads and buttons can be lit in Programmer Mode.
For detailed information on lighting pads, see the Programmers Reference Guide which can be
downloaded at customer.novationmusic.com/support/downloads.
Custom Modes
User Mode, Drum Mode and Keys Mode are all Custom Modes that provide a deeply customisable
8x8 grid.
Custom Modes can be created & edited using Novation Components – our online hub for all
Novation products. You may also back up any Custom Modes you create here. We have several
Custom Mode templates for you to download and explore on Components.
To access Components, visit components.novationmusic.com/ using a WebMIDI enabled browser
(we recommend Google Chrome or Opera). Alternatively, download the standalone version of
Components from your Account page on the Novation site.
Custom modes are compatible between Launchpad Mini [MK3] and Launchpad X.
