Description

The Launchpad Mashinator is a Max For Live device that turns the User 2 buttons on Novation's Launchpad into momentary buttons for FX mashing awesomeness.

The Mashinator lets you map up to 10 parameters to button presses. Eight of the mappings are tied to the buttons in the selected row on the Launchpad, the other two can be globals or combos. A global is a parameter that turns on whenever you press a button in the row. This is useful for controlling an FX rack when you want the rack off except when you bress any of the control buttons. If you map a global to the rack on/off switch, everytime you press any of the FX buttons, the rack will automatically activate. When you releae the last button, the rack will deactivate.

Combos are exactly what you think they are if you've done your time with Tekken. It is a particular combination of buttons that when they are all pressed--and nothing else is pressed--will activate a new parameter. If you have three buttons controlling FX units and put them into a combo, then you can have a fourth FX kick on when you press all three. This could be used for squeezing that last little bit out of a buildup.
