4. Launchpad Pro Interface
4.1 Modes
Modes are the core of the Launchpad Pro interface. They allow you to switch between views, offering
different functionality in each.
There are five different modes available – Session, Note, Chord, Custom and Sequencer.
4.1.A – Launchpad Pro’s Mode buttons
Press a mode button (above) to enter the respective mode. The currently active mode will be lit pale
green. Currently available modes will be lit white.
Additionally, Projects gives you access to your saved sequencer projects. The Projects page is treated
as a sub-mode of Sequencer.
There are 8 Custom modes available on Launchpad Pro. Custom Modes allow you to control your
hardware and software via MIDI (see 8. Custom Modes for more information). When the Custom
button is pressed you will enter the last Custom Mode used (Custom Mode 1 by default). Access each
of the 8 Custom Modes by pressing the Track Select buttons after the Custom button is pressed. The
Custom Mode lit in pale green is selected, while available ones will be lit dim white. Using Novation
Components, you are able to edit these eight modes and customise them to your needs (see Custom
Modes).
