A turtorial would be nice and also a howto to compile this code or a precompiled firmware download link with tutorial howto flash.

Hi

Very happy to have a Midiplus Smartpad flashed with Kikpad and worrking with IAMFORCEv2 as LPMK3 emulation.

I only have issue with pads colors, some pads color doesn´t match with MPC one screen, in midi note input only shows key colors, all the pads wich must be white are off, in drum input pads, some pads are off and others are diferent colors.

Please can you tell me what I can do for fix colors issue?

I´m using for LPMK3 emulation this Bin
kikpad.mod_LaunchPadMk3.bin ---[launchpad mk3 emulation updated. RGB set color improved]

For bootloader this bin
tkg_hid_midiplus_smartpad.bin

For Flash I´m using an AZDelivery ST-Link V2 and STM 32 utility for flash.

Thank you very much for your amazing work!

I´ll wait for your help if you can!

Regards

Hi,
Since my last post, I'm still stuck when using the KICKPAD or a Launchpad X with IAMFORCE mode. No way to have all the matrix possibilities of Akai Force with the two types of external controllers.
I updated the Kikpad bios with kikpad.mod_LaunchPadMk3.bin but no way it will work...I'm currently using the Hacked 2.10 version released a few months ago.

Does anyone have one of those external controllers (Kickpad or Launchpad) working in matrix mode correctly on their MPC (either one), or is this very useful option still has develop ???

If someone has managed to make the kikpad or Launchpad work correctly, that is to say with all the functional matrix part in all modes + the selection of columns and pots, could he explain to me how he did it, if there is a config file to create

Cheers
Hervé

Hi @TheKikGen ,
Here's my exprience with KIKPAD and IAMFORCE last version

• To activate KIKPAD with iamForce, I added this args inside:/media/TKGL_BOOTSTRAP/tkgl_bootstrap_[ProjectData]/modules/mod_iamforce/tkgl_mod_iamforce.sh
  # mpcmapper command line arguments
  TKGL_ARGV="--tkgl_iamForce --tkgl_configfile=$MPCMAPPER_CONFIG_FILE --tkgl_ctrlname=KIKPAD"
• I Flashed the Kikpad with FORCE mod binary. All columns are light on with different colors
• I turned on the MPC with iamForce usb key
• After booting, on the KIKPAD, the 2 first rows light off and only pad row1/column2 activate the right Force cell, others don't. The left Blue column does nothing, The right red button crash iamForce and pots are not working
• AFter I flashed KIKPAD with MPC mod Binary, the left lower 8x8 matrix is red, Right lower are START/STOP/REC button Right Upper
• The 8x8 red matrix on KIKPAD select the right 8x8 upper left cells of the project but the pads light on/off process do'nt follow the project cells activation (on Kipad Row5/Col1 = Row1/Col1 on MPC)
• REC/START/STOP does the job well (2 lighted pads just above the REC/STOP/START buttons switch from Launch mode to Note mode but not the other way around)
• Four first Pots are working but are not reactive with acceleration when turning faster

The MPC MOD bin on KIKPAD sound most interresting than FORCE mod bin, but i think some work on mapping need to be done.
Is there any mapping conf file for KIKPAD i can adjust to this issue ?
Thx
Herve

Hello, thank you for this great project, can you tell my how to modify it for 4x4 buttons pad & 4x4 rgbs and 4 rotarys?

I came across this project quite randomly and it looks interesting but the only SmartPADs I can find for sale are version 2 and this only mentions the original version as far as I could find. Is it known if this works with v2 version of the controller?
