Novation Launchpad OPD (On Pad Display)





Here is an updated mapper and device file that has some nice visual feedback as well as takes advantage of some of the new features that have been made available in recent VirtualDJ updates. This has been designed specifically for version 7.4 but will work in earlier versions with some features unavailable.

Download Link http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/15785/LaunchPad_OPD_(OnPadDisplay).html

As per the first version of this mapper, it was designed as an add-on for your existing controller and was designed for a traditional 2 deck setup. It does not have transport or volume controls for the decks.

Features include:

  • 12 sample banks with sampler volume control
  • CBG Meters for each deck
  • 6 Hot Cue points per deck
  • Level meters for each deck
  • Master VU Meter
  • Limiter indicator across top set of LEDs
  • Skin Panel swap for Mixer/Video/Scratch
  • Browser panel selecter
  • Loop controls
  • *New* Slip Mode On/Off
  • *New* Loop Roll



The diagram below will give you the general idea, but really cannot be appreciated unless it is seen in it’s working state as there are a total of 5 live meters.

Thanks for the quick overview Groovin. It was something different and fun to make (especially with the new functions). I was hoping to make a video but happy that you beat me to it!

Here is how the limiter will display letting you know that your levels are to high:

This mapper works great!! Extremely easy to figure out and use. Almost plug n play outside of downloading a single driver for it along with the above link for mapper. Its all plug n play after that. Nice thing now is that you have full access to 6 hot cue points, 12 samples with volume control and, slip mode, and the famous loop roll. The hot cues can be easily deleted by holding the hot cue button for 2 seconds. It is an extremely responsive controller with well build pads. The volume meters work great for visual inspection or each decks levels. The CBG (computerized beat grid) works like a visual LED metronome. Download it, use it, Enjoy it. Great job Aceman!!

Don't have a launchpad yet, but gonna get one soon. Can I use both my normal controller and my launchpad at the same time? Using the launchpad just for some finger druming while doing everything else on my normal controller?

mapper works great man! love it! but I am having trouble running both my stanton djc 4 controller and novation launchpad at the same time. each one works when it's the only one hooked up but when I plug in both one of the two will light up but isn't responsive. how can I set up both these controllers at once?

Please don't spam the forums by posting the same message several times in different places.

You'll only get the mods on your tail.

wow great video. i got a question can i use this mapping to control loops samples or fx like beatgrid and others. or is it a funny display mod?

There are no effects mapped on the OPD version, but you can certainly remap anything you want. The 1st version of this controller (no display) had effect controls: http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/15063/Novation_Launchpad.html

You can always map any button you decide for effects. Hint: the EQ display actually have nothing mapped to the buttons, just the LEDs. You could use those for effects.

what is about a kombi by opd and effects.. i think its funny to see on the launchpad what the eqs are working


sorry for bad english :)

Please help!! Installed OPD mapper but it does not show up, I can map it in simple mapper and it's working fine in Ableton. Have tried deleted from devices & mappers without any luck. What am I missing here? Is this because it's a Launchpad S?
 
Posted Sat 10 Aug 13 @ 12:53 pm
If it's a LaunchPad S then the device ID is likely different. If you wish, contact me via private message and we will work together to see if we can get you up and running.

Thank you for the feedback.

Now it's up & running, I gotta say this is awesome work! I love that I can map commands on any of the meters without losing the meter display. Got my clipbanks mapped on the CGB pads, turned the loop controls into effects triggers plus added commands on user 1 & 2 for video_fx & video (so I can switch to a windows slideshow). Perfect companion with my NS6;^]
