I would like to use the novation launchpad or also others controller or keyboard doesn't matter, for controll my sequencer or other patch.

I have all midi IO for the launchpad, this is not a problem.

I need a way to make multiple pages of my launchpad with storage, so i can change page with a button and refresh the view with the stored value. for example from pattern page i select the pattern to edit then switch page to the step edit view etc...etc...

Where i have to start ? i need only some object to look at.

Thanks

I'm not sure I understand what you're working on, but "pages" sounds like nested pd patches, like a "sequencerthing.pd" and a "stepeditorthing.pd" all accessed from a main patch Maybe that's not what you want. Are you trying to emulate parts of an existing software paradigm/layout (i.e. Ableton, Reason etc.)?

Sorry my english is not so good, i try to explain:
Forgott my patch, i try to fine a way to control a little sequencer...
for example, i want that my launchpad on page one control something like a mixer or a grid of toggle or other thing, then on page two others thing can be a step sequencer or others... switching the pages i control with the same launchpad all this thing, so when i push a toggle the patch save it and when i return to it's page refresh the view with the value stored...i don't know how to explain.

Thanks

Hmm. If you have some patches in progress perhaps you could attach them to make things clearer. If you're still in the design stages and haven't done much like this in puredata then I would suggest that you start by looking at the [send] [receive] and [select] objects to switch the controller functions and send them where you need. The idea here is to use the launchpad's control output to trigger internal signals which can be changed all at once at the flick of a radio button.

if you want paging it might be tricky to pull off in pd. the easiest way is probably to have multiple canvases in an abstraction and change the Graph on Parent bounds dynamically based on which page you want to go to
this has an example of what you want:

i think what he/her is referring to pages actually are different modes

pattern select, pattern edit,play list etc .. that are displayed/controlled on the launchpad this wouldn't require any complicated gui acrobatics
im working on something similar but instead launchpad im gonna use korg padkontrol in native mode to control my sequencer

Gema
its all depends on your sequencer
are you going to build it yourself? or try to interface existing one?
if i was you i would go this route

1 try to build first simple sequencer in pd

• pattern edit mode (ex
  [metro]
  |
  [counter]
  |
  [mod 16]
  |
  [sel 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15]
  16 toggles -> and store on/offs in the array )

then read values from array and output toggle states on the launchpad

once you got there you will figure out the rest

• pattern select mode
• pattern play list mode

Hi,
more like what say susz0n, i don't have any example now, i try different patch on launchpad and find a "valuestorage.pd", i think came from this forum, that use coll to storage and recall, now i try with this method or some preset storage method that i see on this forum, the "page" can be a "preset".
