Launchpad Loop Studio

Launchpad Loop Studio is both a standalone performance app and a MusicRIG-integrated module for loading audio loops, assigning them to a Novation Launchpad Pro MK3, and animating the full hardware grid in real time. It turns the Launchpad into a visual loop launcher: clips can be loaded, mapped, triggered, stopped, and paired with LED animation states from one focused interface.

The design is built for fast studio use whether launched on its own or used inside the larger MusicRIG workflow. A loop browser keeps source material close at hand, the 8 x 8 session grid mirrors the physical Launchpad layout, and the animation panel gives performers direct control over brightness, tempo, flash depth, and playback-driven LED modes.

Key capabilities shown:

Audio loop import and browser-based clip selection

8 x 8 Launchpad Pro MK3 session grid

Pad assignment, clip playback, and stop-all controls

Hardware LED animation modes including pulse, chase, rainbow, and clips

MIDI target connection status for LPProMK3 MIDI

Animation timeline for scene-based visual movement

MusicRig session sync and hardware preview feedback

Role: product design, UI direction, hardware workflow design, and frontend prototype.
