## How it works

The `lss` handles bidirectional communication with your launchpad using MiDI protocol.

Communication is done using [mido](https://mido.readthedocs.io) (python midi wrapper).

When started `lss` creates new MiDI source named `Launchpad Step Sequencer`. This source

can be used as input in Logic Pro (or other DAW).



In Logic you may need to select

`Control Surfaces > Bypass All Control Surfaces` to avoid default mode of launchpad.

### Control buttons

The sequencer allows you to change tempo, mute particular instruments and reset the playhead.

## Installation

To install locally run:

```sh

pip install -e .

```

Then start the sequencer by running

```

lss run --device-type=

```

To list supported devices run:

```

lss devices list

```
