LaunchPad Pixel Art

Novation LaunchPad has a 8x8 grid of LEDs R/G/B 0-63 each. I used the system pallete.
A Thin Sheet of Lexan would smooth out the hotspots, my camera had a field day with white balance

MIDI Grid Keyboards


Cherry POS 123 Layers: MALTRON/FrogPad, MIDI KeyPad

Yellow-bordered Keys/Notes remap to the bottom MIDI KeyPad octave

Genovation CP48x2 Layers: MALTRON, MIDI KeyPad, FrogPad with Media Keys and F13-F24

So here's the Keymap to VMPK- Yellow frame highlights MaltronK89 Layout Differences due to esc down a row and the F-Key Row shifted left one column. Key Configs allow a subset of characters and thankfully up to F24
 

AutoHotKey used for bridge maps to allowable chars Alphanumeric but not L/R Modifier keys or most specials. No manual but I found enough notes to flex.

and VMPK the app plays all the notes


Disclaimer: There is absolutely no Velocity Sensitivity. That costs more. These are still great split keypads, however.
