Novation Launchpad bindings for [loop-grid](https://github.com/mmckegg/loop-grid) for using with [Loop Drop](http://loopjs.com).
## Controller Mapping
Trigger sounds using the **main grid** on the Launchpad hardware that corresponds to the interface grid that you have added chunks to.
### Beat Repeat
The side buttons (A-H) on the Launchpad enable **beat repeat** mode as follows:
- None (free play),
- 1
- 2/3
- 1/2
- 1/3
- 1/4
- 1/6
- 1/8
When beat repeat is enabled, **hold down** a trigger on the main grid, and it will be **continuously triggered** at the selected rate to the project tempo specified. This allows you to play in perfect time with the tempo.
### Store Loop
By default the last 2 bars of everything you play is being recorded. The top buttons (1-8) control the current loop. Press **1**/**learn** to start looping the events you just played.
### Clear / Flatten
When no transformations are currently active (no beat repeat held or active suppression), **2**/**view** clears the currently playing loop, otherwise it locks in the current transform.
### Undo / Redo
Top buttons **3** and **4** (the page buttons) trigger undo or redo of stored loop on press.
### Beat Hold
Top button **5**/**inst** will loop the currently playing beat at the rate specified by the Beat Repeat buttons (A-H) when held down. You can lock in the loop by pressing the Flatten button (2/view) at the same time.
### Suppress
Top button **6**/**fx** will suppress all current playback when held down. You can lock that in by pressing the Flatten button (2/view) at the same time.
### Select / Move
To select buttons, hold down top button **8**/**mixer**, and press some buttons on the grid and release. You can now hold **Suppress** to mute the selected slots, or hold another button on the grid to move/offset the loop events.
### Loop Length
Hold `select` (8/mixer) and press the `undo` (3/prevpage) button to halve loop length or `redo` (4/nextpage) to double.
