This Mozaic script turns the Launchpad Mini Mk1/Mini Mk2 into a 4-channel drum sequencer, with the following features:
– 16 steps per bar, up to 8 bar slots can be programmed
– Bars can be played back sequentially or manually selected
– Per-step accents with per-channel accent strength
– Per-step retriggers: x2, x3, x4
– Channel muting and velocity control
– Pattern chaining mode: Create a chain of up to 256 bars
– Midi maps for Ruismaker, Ruismaker FM, Pure Acid, Korg Gadget, FAC Drumkit, Koala Sampler, General Midi, Chromatic, Roland T-8 and Korg Volca Beats
– Swing and Humanize controls. Humanize adds a random velocity variation to each step
– Midi Machine Control (MMC) for Launchpad play/stop button (enable in AUM)
Changelog: v1.31
– Added save and restore pattern functionality. Pressing ‘Save Patterns’ copies all patterns to the save arrays, which are saved with a project in AUM. Pressing ‘Restore Patterns’ reloads the saved patterns to the pattern slots
– The lower knob positions are saved with the project in AUM
– Various GUI refinements: Quickmaps are now just on one pad – tap to cycle through the different midi maps/preset configs. Certain pads require a double-tap to execute their function. Moved Reset Launchpad from SHIFT button to pad 15. The SHIFT button now toggles the help view
– Added midi map for Alesis SR-15 hardware drum machine
The download ZIP file contains the Mozaic script and a pdf showing the routing and all functions of the sequencer.
IMPORTANT: The destination drum app MUST be filtered to receive midi on channel 10 or stray triggers will occur.
Quick Tip – the Koala midi map also works with FAC Drumkit
Also works in Loopy Pro. Follow the steps below to setup…
1. Connect Launchpad to iPad
2. Launch Loopy Pro and start a new project
3. Open the mixer view
4. Press ‘+’ button (bottom right of screen), Add MIDI, Launchpad MIDI Out
5. Press ‘+’ button, Add MIDI, Mozaic
6. Press ‘+’ button, Add Audio Unit Input, then select an AUV3 (I’ve used Ruismaker in the example below)
7. On the Launchpad mixer channel, tap on ‘+’ in the Destinations section, add Mozaic
8. On the Mozaic mixer channel, tap on ‘+’ in the Destinations section and add Launchpad MIDI In and Ruismaker as destinations
9. Tap on the Ruismaker destination you have just added and set to channel 10 (top slider)
10. Open the Mozaic GUI and load the sequencer script
11. This step is optional – do this if you want to configure the Play/Stop button on the Launchpad: MIDI Learn (main menu) the Play/Stop button in Loopy Pro and bind it to the bottom right button on the Launchpad
12. Go to Control Settings (main menu), MIDI Devices, Launchpad MIDI Out, and disable feedback
13. Select a tempo
14. Program a sequence on the Launchpad. Tapping a doughnut will record and loop the sequence. The Launchpad sequence can then be cleared and another one created, which can be recorded to another doughnut, and so on…
