LPMFHK (LaunchPad MidiFighter HotKey)

A fork of the Novation Launchpad macro scripting system with added support for the Midi Fighter 64

NOTE!!!

I (conc1erge) added Midi Fighter 64 support. Nothing else. Though, it is a quite newbish implementation as I didn't have any prior experience with Python and just trusted my logic. (I also have 0 experience in using GitHub, so please bare with me.)

My scope of the project was for LPHK to recognize the MF64 so I can use it with a web based rhythm game called Pulsus.

The layout is shifted up by one row, so if you have any existing layouts, you must shift the main pads up by one row! image

There is also no full RGB lights whatsoever! Blame DJTT for not giving the MF64 the potential to use RGB color codes!

How to build

  1. Confirm you are on Windows
  2. Download the latest version of Python3 via the Windows Store or preferably the official website
  3. Clone/Download the fork's source code.
  4. Extract it.
  5. Inside the INSTALL folder, run install_conda_windows.bat, this will install Miniconda3 for you.
  6. After Miniconda3 has been installed, run install_build_env.bat, this will make a build environment for the project.
  7. After your build environment has been built, run build_pyinstall_portable.bat, this will make a runnable .exe file containing LPHK.
  8. Inside the root LPHK folder, a new folder called dist should be there, inside contains the LPHK executable.
  9. Run the executable.

If your Anti-Virus detected something fishy in the LPHK folder or from downloading the source code, this link should explain why. Exempt it from your AV.

Now, I will say to PLEASE, PLEASE SUPPORT THE ORIGINAL LPHK PROJECT, nimaid (through Patreon) AND THE OTHER CONTRIBUTORS!

The rest of the README.md is the original README.md directly from the LPHK GitHub project.

What does it do? [Table of Contents]

The goal of this project is to implement a macro scripting system for the Novation Launchpad, in order to use the launchpad as a scriptable, general purpose macro keyboard.

It uses "LPHKscript", a very simple scripting language similar to DuckyScript, and has a GUI to enter scripts, set colors, and to save/load your setup.

LPHK can be used for the following:

  • Gaming, to bind:
    • Items
    • Volume
    • Attacks
    • Typed commands
    • Automatic Glitch/Trick Execution (think ABH or propsurfing in Source)
    • Repetitive tasks (grinding)
    • Reference Website launcher
    • Window switcher
  • Streaming, to bind:
    • Sound effects
    • Streaming software hotkeys
    • Quickly open a folder with assets
  • Editing, to bind:
    • Cuts/insertions
    • Modes
    • Effects
    • Render
    • Preview
    • Scrubbing
    • Automate repetitive tasks
  • Programming, to bind:
    • Repetitive re-formatting
    • Commenting code
    • Auto-typing function/loop templates
    • Compiling/executing
    • Breakpoints
    • Debugger
  • As an interface to other programs with hotkeys
  • ... and many more!

LPHK has all of its core features functional and ready to use! There are a lot of new features wanted, and there are massive bugs that need fixing, and it needs some more polish, but you can still do quite a lot with it as it is currently!

LPHK is still a work-in-progress, so things will be changing often. See below for a todo list. I have a life (a crazy one at that), so no promises on a delivery date. Feel free to offer your help! You can see project updates and ask questions on the official Discord server! You can also donate on the official Patreon page to help speed up development, or just say thanks!

Compatibility [Table of Contents]

I have specifically chosen to do my best to develop this using as many cross platform libraries as possible, with a hard requirement that Linux and Windows be supported, and a strong preference for Mac as well. The GUI is driven by TK, which works on all of the above plus Unix. The interface with the launchpad and several script functions are built on pygame, which is compatible with basically everything ever. Pretty much everything else is standard Python 3.

Current compatibility:

  • Windows
    • Strong compatibility
      • Everything works
      • This is the platform it is developed on
    • Includes pre-built binaries with nothing else required (PyInstaller)
      • Graphical installer (Inno Setup)
      • Portable version (Single .exe)
  • Linux
    • Weak compatibility
      • Many bugs, mostly with system permissions
      • Most systems are unable to run it at all
      • Please try to install and report your issues on the Discord or as a Github issue.
        • Include LPHK.log
    • Pre-built binaries building, but not released
      • If anybody installs on Linux successfully and lets me know, I will start releasing binaries.
  • Mac
    • Completely untested

Installation [Table of Contents]

Note: Files used in the installation are named with a version number, and will change with each new release. The word VERSION is used in the below filenames and paths to denote where this version number will be. When going to https://github.com/nimaid/LPHK/releases/latest, it will redirect to the page with the latest versions of these files, so the correct value of VERSION should be plainly obvious. Note: Because pyautogui is used you may need to install some extra libraries to your machine, more info on this page: https://pyautogui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html

Windows Install/Run Instructions [Table of Contents]

Is these pre-built binaries do not work for you, please share the issue in the Discord or as a GitHub issue. In the meantime, advanced users can use INSTALL\environment.yml to install the LPHK conda environment, and then run python LPHK.py after activating it.

  • If you want the installed version (recommended)
    • Download the latest LPHK_setup_VERSION.exe file from https://github.com/nimaid/LPHK/releases/latest
    • Run LPHK_setup_VERSION.exe` and follow the on-screen setup instructions.
    • To run LPHK, use one of the shortcuts, either the Start Menu or Desktop one (if you selected that option).
    • You can uninstall LPHK like any other program, with the Windows Add or remove programs utility.
      • There will also be an uninstaller named unins000.exe in the program folder. You can open the program folder by clicking the menu option Help > Program folder....
    • LPHK also creates a folder in My Documents named LPHK. This is where layouts, scripts, sounds, and the log is stored. You can open this folder by clicking the menu option Help > User folder....
  • If you want to run LPHK portably (advanced)
    • This method lets you use LPHK by simply downloading LPHK_portable_win_VERSION.zip and extracting it to a folder of your choice. You can then move the folder to a flash drive, between computers, etc.
    • It takes much longer to start up this way
    • Run LPHK.exe

Linux Install/Run Instructions [Table of Contents]

The following instructions are for a beta version installer that aims to be fairly easyto use. Eventually, once Linux stability improves, there will be pre-built binaries released. Until then, if this installer fails, please share the issue in the Discord or as a GitHub issue. In the meantime, advanced users can use INSTALL\environment.yml to install the LPHK conda environment, and then run python LPHK.py after activating it.

THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR THE BETA INSTALLER, WHICH AIMS TO BE PAINLESS TO USE. IT IS GOING TO SOON BE REPLACED BY BINARY RELEASES. IF THIS INSTALLER FAILS, TRY MANUALLY INSTALLING CONDA AND THE CONDA ENVIRONMENT IN INSTALL/environment.yml. THEN, RUN LPHK.py INSIDE THE LPHK CONDA ENVIRONMENT.

  • Download the source of the latest release at https://github.com/nimaid/LPHK/releases/latest
    • Either the VERSION.zip or VERSION.tar.gz file will work, but the VERSION.zip file is probably easier to use
  • Extract the LPHK-VERSION folder
  • Run LPHK-VERSION/INSTALL/linux_beta/install_linux.bash" via a bash shell (NOT sh, fish, etc.)
    • You can do this via terminal or, if it's set up, by double clicking it.
  • One of three things will happen:
    • If LPHK is already installed, it will prompt if you would like to uninstall it. Type either y or n and press enter.
      • At the moment, this only uninstalls the conda environment. You still have to manually delete the LPHK files and shortcuts.
      • If Miniconda3 is installed in ~/miniconda3/, it will prompt if you would like to uninstall that as well. Type either y or n and press enter.
    • If you do not have a conda distribution installed, it will prompt you if you want to install Miniconda3 and LPHK. Type y and press enter.
    • If a conda distribution is already installed, the installer will prompt you if you want to install LPHK. Type y and press enter.
  • To run LPHK, run LPHK-VERSION/RUN.bash.
    • .desktop shortcuts are coming soon!

How do I use it? (Post-Install) [Table of Contents]

  • Before starting the program, make sure your Launchpad Classic/Mini/S or MkII is connected to the computer.
    • If you have a Launchpad Pro, there is currently beta support for it. Please put it in Live mode by following the instructions in the pop-up when trying to connect in the next step. For more info, see the User Manual.
  • Click Launchpad > Connect to Launchpad....
    • If the connection is successful, the grid will appear, and the status bar at the bottom will turn green.
  • The current mode is displayed in the upper right, in the gap between the circular buttons. Clicking this text will change the mode. There are four modes:
    • "Edit" mode: Click on a button to open the Script Edit window for that button.
      • All scripts are saved in the .lpl (LaunchPad Layout) files, but the editor also has the ability to import/export single .lps (LaunchPad Script) files.
        • For examples, you can click Import Script and look through the user_scripts/examples/ folder.
      • Select the button color, then click Bind Button (x, y).
        • If there are syntax errors, this is when they will be caught, and you will be informed without the editor closing.
    • "Move" mode: Click on a button to highlight it, then click on a second button to move the script/color from the highlighted one.
      • The selected button will be unbound
      • The second button will have the selected button's old script and color bound to it
        • If the second button is already bound, you will get a dialog box with options.
    • "Swap" mode: Click on a button to highlight it, then click on a second button to swap the script/color with the highlighted one.
      • The selected button will have the second button's script and color bound to it.
      • The second button will have the selected button's old script and color bound to it.
    • "Copy" mode: Click on a button to highlight it, then click on a second button to copy the script/color to the highlighted one.
      • The selected button will remain unchanged.
      • The second button will have the selected button's old script and color bound to it.
        • If the second button is already bound, you will get a dialog box with options.
  • Go to Layout > Save layout as... to save your current layout for future use, colors and all.
  • Go to Layout > Load layout... to load an existing layout. Examples are in user_layouts/examples/.
  • (Optional) Create a layout with the name startup.lpl that will be automatically loaded every time LPHK starts up.

The whole GUI is still rough around the edges, so don't be too surprised if something breaks. If it does, kindly open a detailed issue on GitHub so I can fix the error. :) And don't feel shy making feature requests, either!

What is LPHKscript? [Table of Contents]

LPHKscript is a simple macro scripting language tailor made for LPHK. Syntax is closer to a shell/batch script than, say, JavaScript.

Any line that starts with a dash - will be considered a comment, and will be ignored by the syntax validator/script parser. Useful to add notes for yourself or others!

Only one script runs at a time, and there is a scheduling system for them. If a script is scheduled, it's button will pulse red. If the script is running, the button will flash red quickly. This is true for the 8x8 grid, however, the function keys cannot flash or pulse, as a hardware limitation. These keys will be bright orange for scheduled and bright red for running.

When you press a script button, if there is a script running, it adds the script to the queue. If no scripts are running, the script is added to the queue and the queue execution is started. Tapping a scheduled script's button will unschedule it, and tapping a running scripts button will kill it. If that sounds confusing, load up user_layouts/examples/all_delays_all_day.lpl and press a bunch of buttons.

Headers are commands that start with @ and go on the first line of a script. They are used to put the scripting engine into different "modes", allowing you to do some interesting things.

The @ASYNC Header [Table of Contents]

There is one exception to the scheduling system. If the script has the @ASYNC header, it will run in the background and will not interact with the other scripts. It can still be prematurely killed by tapping the button. If this is used, it must come before any other commands. Only comments and blank lines can come before it.

The @SIMPLE Header [Table of Contents]

This is a quick way to bind a controller button to a simple keypress of (argument 1). This has the equivalent code to:

@ASYNC
PRESS (argument 1)
WAIT_UNPRESSED
RELEASE (argument 1)

If this is used, all other lines in the file must either be blank lines or comments.

Known Issues / Troubleshooting [Table of Contents]

  • The USB connection on the Launchpads, quite frankly, suck. If the angle is wrong, the Launchpad may receive power, but will not be able to transmit or receive data. While using the Launchpad, if you wiggle the connection somehow, it will straight up break the MIDI library I use. You will have to do the following:
    • Click on "Launchpad > Disconnect from Launchpad xxx..."
    • Unplug your Launchpad and wait about 5 seconds for the capacitors inside the Launchpad to drain. (It stays powered for a few seconds after losing it's connection, we want it dead as a doorknob)
    • Connect the Launchpad via USB
      • If you see the rainbow wipe effect and are left with no lights on, the connection is good
      • If the pad has psychedelic waves of colors exploding everywhere, it is getting power but cannot transmit or receive data. Try again, maybe with a different cable
      • If it does not light up at all, try again with a different cable or USB port
    • Click on "Launchpad > Redetect...". This will kill the program and restart it. This resets the MIDI library
    • If this does not fix the problem, or if the LP can connect and light up, but not receive input:
      • Try a different cable
      • Try a different USB port
      • Unplug and restart the program manually
      • Maybe restart your computer?
      • At this point IDK, maybe the USB on your Launchpad needs to be replaced.
  • If your game/application does not detect mouse movements, see if there is an option to turn off "raw input" in the settings. This setting bypasses all software and reads directly from the mouse, which you don't want for this.

In order of priority:

  • Set unbound buttons to null in .lpl files
    • Thank you MatijaK from the Discord for reminding me about this!
  • Add splash screen to PyInstaller executable, for feedback while loading
    • This feature of PyInstaller is in development at this very moment by Chrisg2000 and others Once it's done, I can do this!
  • Re-factor to use PyAutoGui
    • Adds support for more keys
      • For example, 5 and num5 are different, where keyboard says they are the same
    • May fix root issues on Linux
    • Will make everything just easier and cleaner, it's a library for automation in Python
  • Add @LOAD_LAYOUT header command to load a specified layout
    • Basic functionality (BETA, undocumented)
    • Check if layout currently exists when binding to a button (incl during load layout)
      • If not, prompt user if they want to continue anyway
    • Add option to override save changes prompt
  • Temporary fix for LP classic, make use colors from function rows (orange, red)
  • Add script status icons (bound, playing, queued)
    • Create icons
    • Draw icons
    • With this, allow buttons to be bound with the light off
  • Add startup config file
    • Default layout specification
    • Auto connect overide
    • Force launchpad model setting
  • Add more sound commands
    • Use different sound library that supports playing an arbitrary number of sounds, and controlling each sound individually while it plays
    • Add optional label argument to SOUND
    • Add SOUND_VOLUME to set the sound volume by label
    • Add SOUND_STOP to stop playing sound by label and delete the sound label
    • Add SOUND_ALL_* commands to stop/change the volume of all sounds
  • Let SOUND use spaces in it's path if it has double quotes around it
  • Let program function as a layout editor without LP connection
    • Would probably be easier to write a "Dummy LP" class
  • Make an installer for Linux
    • Should be a .deb installer package
    • Should use a conda environment created from an environment.yml file
    • Should copy LPHK files into an appropriate directory
    • Should give options to add various shortcuts
  • Add temporary command __M_PRINT_POPUP__ that gives a pop-up with the current cursor position
  • Option to minimize to system tray
    • Tkinter does not provide a way to do this. There may be Windows-specific extentions I can use, but maybe not.
  • Add auto-update feature using git
    • There will be a VERSION file in the main directory with the version string
      • This can be polled at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nimaid/LPHK/master/VERSION
        • For example: wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nimaid/LPHK/master/VERSION
    • This will be displayed in the Help > About LPHK dialog.
    • If this string does not match the newest one at the above link, prompt to update
  • Make PRESS, RELEASE, TAP, and @SIMPLE accept multiple keys
    • Will accept multiple arguemnts seperated by spaces
    • Will be pressed in the order arg1, arg2... and unpress in the order ...arg2, arg1
  • Add percentage of screen width/height option to the M_* commands
  • Add SCRIPT command to run (argument 1) script in the user_scripts folder (like a function!)
  • Add settings menu to configure the startup config
  • Add more color customization
    • Make new fields in the .lpl layout format
      • Add run_color to set the "running" color
        • Default is red (255, 0, 0)
      • Add schedule_color to set the "scheduled" color
        • Default is red (255, 0, 0)
      • Add run_color_mode to set the "running" color mode
        • flash is a quick blinking (default)
        • pulse is a slow fade in and fade out
        • solid is coninuously on
      • Add schedule_color_mode to set the "scheduled" color mode
        • pulse is a slow fade in and fade out (default)
        • flash is a quick blinking
        • solid is coninuously on
    • Add more selectors to script entry window
  • Add a Sound menu with Choose default output device... option
  • Refactor code to make LPHKscript functions in auto-implementing modules, for ease of delevopment
    • A new testing branch will be created while the functional code is re-worked. To avoid merging issues, pull requests may have acceptance delayed until the refactor is complete.
    • There are a few complex refactoring tasks required for this, I will be crossing them off here on the testing branch:
      • Make a killable delay/time library that monitors thread kill flags
      • Port keyboard functions over to LPHKfunction modules
      • Make commands.py module to house the actual command logic
      • Move @SIMPLE to keyboard module.
        • Allow F['COMMAND']['macro'] = True to disallow other non-comment lines in the script. Default is False.
          • Macros will automatically have _ added to the beginning (@ will only be for headers)
          • validate_script() will take care of making sure macros are alone (after comment/nl stripping)
        • Allow F['COMMAND']['macro_async'] = True to enable async on a macro. Default is False, ignored if not a macro.
          • When importing functions on startup, make a dict to keep track of what macros are async
          • scripts.py will have a run_async dict to keep track of if a script is async
          • (Comments/nl stripped) During scheduling of the script, if first line is @ASYNC or is an async macro (1 functional line), then run_async[x][y] is set, otherwise unset
      • Write the importer library (test standalone w/ simple delay)
      • Lobotomize the program (read: remove the hellish logic in scripts.py)
      • Integrate the importer into the main program (scripts.py)
      • Find and kill all of the bugs
      • Port the rest of the old logic to LPHKfuction modules
      • Deal with the Pandora's box that porting those functions will open (this list will probably grow)
      • Make a way for modules to use standard commands, and to use other modules
      • Take a drink and merge the branches
  • Allow named arguments for certain commands
  • Add a Choose default MIDI device option to the Sound menu. (For multiple launchpads plugged in)
  • Add a third argument to SOUND for overriding the default sound device
  • Add variables and mathematical evaluation (mostly done!)
  • Add conditional jumps based on value comparisons (Would this make LPHKscript Turing complete? :D)
  • Add syntax highlighting
  • Add GUI scaling
  • Full support for Launchpad Pro
    • The lack of tactile feedback, inability to utilize the pressure sensitive inputs (launchpad.py limitation), and inconvenient function keys where the hand rests makes support for the LP Pro a lower priority.
  • Add generalized macro recorder wizard
  • Make Add Command... menu that acts as a guided helper for making commands
  • Add mouse event capture prompts to Add Command... menu boxes
  • Add keyboard event capture (incl. unknown keycodes) to Add Commands... menu boxes
  • Add CMD command to run OS commands
    • Make multi-level scary warning dialog boxes when binding to a button (incl during load layout)
    • Give option (and strongly recommend its use) for users to run command once and verify it does what they want before binding to button (incl during load layout)
  • MIDI output command? (low priority due to LPMM, an older project of mine that I no longer have time for due to LPHK)
  • Support for Launchpad MkII
  • Events system
  • Colors system
  • LPHKScript base iteration
  • Keyboard lib base
  • Proof of concept demo
  • Saving/Loading
  • Sound functionality
  • Basic GUI
  • Save/load single scripts in GUI
