Notes

Models Programmer mode, the one layout in which every pad and button has a documented message. Live mode (what the unit boots into) is different: Note, Chord, Custom and Session modes each send their own notes. Enter Programmer mode from the unit (hold Setup, press the orange Scene Launch button, release Setup) or with the SysEx F0 00 20 29 02 0E 0E 01 F7 (stays off by default: the element sends no SysEx). Use the first port, "LPProMK3 MIDI" (macOS), not DIN or DAW. The manual gives a channel only for lighting (ch 1 static, 2 flashing, 3 pulsing); channel 1 for what the pads and buttons send is an assumption (the worked examples are all channel 1), not a line of the manual: unconfirmed. Pads send velocity; their pressure (off, polyphonic or channel aftertouch) is a unit setting and is not modelled. The labels on the buttons are what the Live-mode faceplate prints; in Programmer mode they are only positions. CC 99 lights the logo and the Setup button sends nothing: both are drawn only. LED feedback: pads light turquoise (palette 37) while played, buttons white (palette 3).
