My Novaton Launchpad was delivered yesterday.

Now I'm trying to get as much control as I can from within MFL.

In session mode there is a blue ribbon around the selected clips.

1. Can I monitor the Left/Up corner somewhere?

2. Is it possible to edit this from within MFL?

Since your post 1 month ago, have you figured how to monitor the position of Launchpad in Live?

MFL/Max 5.1.3 still has no documentation on ControlSurfaces. I asked C'74 about this. They agreed that the documentation was lacking, but I don't think it has much priority to fix this. Perhaps I should ask for information on Control Surfaces from within MFL.

I'm in the proces of building a general interface for the Launchpad. I can parse the pressing of all keys. I've build a latch for the led's. But this needs some final touch before I can publish it.

The idea has crossed my mind to bypass the standard Control Surface of Live alltogether and replace it with a simple Python module that passes MIDI only. No blue ribbon anymore. The processing can then be done in MFL. This would allow me to make good use of the double speed LED refreshing. Of course the most simple interface is not to use a Control Surface at all, but to assign a spare track that hooks midiin en midiout. Then MFL can talk with Launchpad without Live's processing of the midistream.
