Many of the Launchkey’s features can be controlled by MIDI CC messages sent to the Launchkey's DAW in port on channel 7 and queried by sending the same message to channel 8. Reply messages confirming changes or answering queries will always be sent on channel 7.
To enable or disable these controls in standalone mode, use the below messages.
Enable feature controls:
Hex: 9Fh 0Bh 7Fh
Dec: 159 11 127
Disable feature controls:
Hex: 9Fh 0Bh 00h
Dec: 159 11 0
Note
-
In DAW mode, all feature controls are listening, but will not send the confirmation reply except for a few essential ones.
-
In DAW mode, the above messages can be used to turn fully on all of them or revert to the DAW set.
-
The CC messages must be sent to the Launchkey's DAW in MIDI port.
-
Nibble-Split controls use the least significant nibble of two CC values to create an 8-bit value. The first CCs value becomes the most significant nibble.
-
Features marked with (*) are non-volatile, persisting across power cycles.
-
Features marked with (#) are always fully enabled in DAW mode.
