Hi to everyone, i found an application + library to get working the launchpad on linux and works.

I take the sources from here, downloadin the .tar.gz
https://github.com/jiyunatori/launchpad/archives/master

Then compile like this:

$ make clean
$ make lpmidi

you'll find (if it's all ok) the compiled application and run it with:

$ sudo ./lpmidi

I had to install libusb-1.0-0, libusb-1.0-0-dev and libasound

I tested with jack and zynsubaddfx and with a patch a 64step sequencer with leds on and it's fine....now i can work on this

Hi to everyboy,

i forgot to post a better guide:

I tested this on linux ubuntu maverick:

before you have to install:

$ sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0
$ sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev

then extract the sources (from https://github.com/jiyunatori/launchpad, click Downloads, and take the .tar.gz)

cd in the extracted directory compile with:

$ make clean
$ make lpmidi

if you didn't get errors plug the launchpad and run:

$ sudo ./lpmidi

then open jack or alsamidi ports...and you'll find the launchpad midi device.

you can take the lpmidi apps and put where you want, and make a launcher (i put it on the gnomepanel)

I hope this works also for the linux user here, let me know....

All this instruction came from here: http://www.renoise.com/board/index.php?showtopic=26229

Now it's time to have some fun with my Launchpad!
