Description
By mat1jaczyyy, built on the open framework. Performance mode accepts Top Lights as normal Note On messages and shows velocities through the selected palette, removing the need for Top Lights plugins. Setup mode opens with a single press, and the firmware offers three custom palettes editable on the device, three built-in palettes, MK2 layout emulation and a boot animation. The README claims considerably faster LED updating, especially with Apollo Studio. The repository contains an unbrick guide that requires an ST-LINK and opening the unit, for cases where the bootloader is no longer reachable.
Install notes
Install with the Launchpad Firmware Utility by choosing Launchpad Pro (CFW), or send the generated SysEx messages while the unit is in bootloader mode.
