10.7 Live and Programmer Mode
In Live Mode, all functions described elsewhere in this manual are available, such as Session Mode,
Note Mode, Chord Mode, Custom Modes & the Sequencer. Live Mode is the default state of
Launchpad Pro.
Programmer Mode is an alternate state that may be used to control Launchpad Pro’s surface
externally via MIDI messages. In Programmer Mode, Launchpad Pro loses access to all other modes
and functionality. Each pad and button will send out and respond to a specified MIDI message when
pressed.
To switch between Live Mode and Programmer Mode, first enter the setup menu by holding Setup.
Press the green Scene Launch button to enter Live Mode, or the orange Scene Launch button to
enter Programmer Mode (see image on p.19). The Mode will not be entered until the Setup button is
released.
Launchpad Pro will always power on into Live Mode.
10.7.A. Live/ Programmer mode select
