Many of the Launch Control XL 3’s features can be controlled by MIDI CC messages sent to the Launch Control XL 3'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
