node-launchpad v1.0.5

node-launchpad

A driver for easy usage with an Novation Launchpad Mini in JavaScript

Provides an Interface between NodeJS and the Launchpad Mini MK2 over Midi.

How to run the Example:

At first, run npm install --save-dev. This pulls all Dependencies that are required to run the Example Code.

Use npm run example to run the example code included in this package.

If you don't have a Launchpad yet you can set $NODE_ENV in your path to debug, which will trigger the Simulation Mode. Connect to the shown IP Address to open the Launchpad Mini Simulator. When you click a Button you send MIDI Messages through.

See the file examples/SendBack.js for example Code
