What set it appart from a Novation Launchpad?

Target audience is complete difference. While Launchpad are more focused in professional live music preformence, Matrix is more focused for players without prefessional knowledge. (But also has the capabilty for used professionally)

What features does it included over a Launchpad?

1. Rotation can be modified natively
2. Customizable Palette
3. Wide brightness range
4. Dynamic Brightness
5. Customizable Device ID(0~255)
6. 24bit RGB support (16.8 Million colors)
7. Hidden touch bar
8. 2D GFX engine
9. Modular design
10. Ultra portable design
11. frequent OTA that brings more feature.
12. Doesn't require Ableton's Control surface
13. Support apps

Plan for development

• Basic Sysex Support
• Customizable Palette
• Read Customized Palette with Sysex 0.8.5
• 2D GFX engine Sysex API 0.9.0
• Sysex Write/Read Device Config

How to change page in lightshow?

There's a 8 key touch bar on the bottom bezel / 16 buttons in FN menu / use One Chain Plugin

What kind of project files are supported ?

Matrix supports all Ableton Live/Unipad projects that designed for Launchpad MK2/MK1

Can it be easily costomizable?

We provided design file for every single Matrix components and they will also available seperatlly as a replacement, so fell free to customize your Matrix.

What will be the MSRP?

Current planned MSRP is 99$/99€

When will it be commercially available?

什么是Matrix?

Matrix是由203自主开发的专注灯光工程的矩阵控制器

和Launchpad有什么区别？

目标群体不一样 Launchpad更针对的是专业制作人 而Matrix更适合普通人玩（不过也可以拿来当midi控制器用） 设计理念也很有很大区别
Matrix的一个目标就是去繁化简 在此基础上提供更好用 更个性 更好玩的功能

有哪些Launchpad没有的功能？

有但是不仅限于

1. 可旋转朝向
2. 可自定义颜色色板
3. 可调亮度
4. 动态亮度
5. 可调设备ID(0~255)
6. 1600万颜色的RGB输入
7. 触摸条
8. 2D渲染引擎
9. 模组化
10. 超便携的设计
11. 整机OTA更新
12. 不需要Live的Control Surface
13. 支持机内App

更新计划

• 基础Sysex功能
• 自定义色板
• 读取自定义色板 0.8.5
• 基于Sysex的2D渲染系统API 0.9.0
• Sysex配置/读取/备份设备配置
