launchpad-pro (open firmware framework)
Tool for Launchpad Pro (MK1) (Novation)
Novation's open firmware framework for the Launchpad Pro MK1, written by Dave Hodder. A simplified app API and build environment, not the factory firmware; strips Ableton integration and setup menus. Base for most custom builds.

Description
Published by Dave Hodder with Focusrite-Novation. The README explains that the factory source was not released; instead the repository provides a build environment, application entry points and a library of low-level code compiled into launchpad_pro.a. Ableton integration and the setup and navigation functions are removed, the Live USB MIDI port is gone, and the device enumerates with a different name and USB PID. The last commit is from November 2018.
Install notes
Build with Docker or Vagrant and flash the generated SysEx file through the bootloader (hold Setup while powering on).
