Flashing
!
Launchpad Pro supports flashing between two colours on Programmer layout and Ableton Live
mode, but implemented quite differently. In Ableton Live mode, the flash colour is set by sending
a Note On message (or CC for the round buttons) to the device on channel 2. When a message is
received on channel 2, Launchpad Pro will then begin to flash between the flash colour (B) and
the current colour of the LED (A), with a 50% duty cycle. See figure 16.
Programmer mode does not reserve the MIDI channels for flashing, instead it uses a SysEx
message to implement flashing.
Flashing (and pulsing) happens in time with MIDI beat clock (see ‘MIDI Clock’ below), the last
known tempo or will default to 120 bpm. Flashing can be stopped by sending the LED a message
on channel 1.
