Description

Hi,
is it possible to add support for the novation launchpad S/launchpad mini line of midi controllers? They do use standard MIDI, but the layout is a bit weird, and light feedback won't work.

UPDATE: by manually putting the launchpad into user 1 mode and setting it as input and output device for a track, I can use it perfectly. I'd like a setting to do the user mode switch automatically, as doing so (for me) required a python script.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing MIDI device handling and any controller-mode switching entry points. Reproduce the Launchpad S or Launchpad Mini workflow using the manually selected User 1 mode and the Python script described in the issue. Done means the required mode switch happens automatically when the device is configured for a track.
