When everything is configured, you can load a performance mode song. port 18 and 19 will not be used by FL-Studio, but they should be declared so that FL-Studio does not automatically configure them for port 20 or 3 and disturb the system.port 20 can be set to any other value, the only constraints is to have the same value both for input and output.LPX_to_FL (Native) / MIDI hardware port / port 18 (or any value different from 20 and 3).LPX_to_FL / MIDI hardware port / port 19 (or any value different from 20 and 3).FL_to_LPX / Novation Launchpad MK2 / port 20.LPX_to_FL (Native) / generic controller / port 3 (or any value different from 20).LPX_to_FL / Novation Launchpad MK2 / port 20.You have to make the connection to the loopMidi virtual ports and declare a “Launchpad MK2” device as below:

If not, that means you have a configuration problem. As a result, all pads should now become dark. Otherwise, you will need to do it by hand by using the drop down menus, and click “Apply”.īefore launching FL-Studio, you can now click on “Connect” button. If you have used the exact recommended names for loopMidi configuration, the Java application should select automatically the right ports. Then you need to install and run the Java application: “LPX_to_FL (Native)” will do the same, but for native MIDI mode of the Launchpad-X (Note mode or Custom mode).“LPX_to_FL” port will transport MIDI message from Lauchpad-X to FL-Studio (pads status).“FL_to_LPX” port will transport MIDI commands from FL-Studio to the Lauchpad-X.Then, setup three Virtual MIDI ports as below: You need to install a Virtual MIDI loopback software such as

Tested only under Win10, but should work on other Windows versions, or MacOS. I have developed a small Java application able to make it compatible with FL-Studio by converting Lauchpad-MK2 messages to Lauchpad-X format. Currently, the last Launchpad-X is not yet supported by FL-Studio 20.
