LMMS Pad Controller

[mifeanyi]

Hello, I was wondering if there are Pad Controller Settings similar to the Fruity Pad Controller https://www.image-line.com/fl-studio-le ... ns/FPC.htm for FL Studio in LMMS.

I'd like to try to use the Pads on my Akai MPK Mini as drum pads. Video demo of the FL equate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YTWUODfE8w


If this doesn't exist I'd like to attempt to build a plugin, etc. to control them. If anyone has any suggestions on how to go about this please let me know.

LMMS Version 1.2.2
OS: Mac OS
Device: Akai MPK Mini

Planned, but currently no ongoing project towards it.
If you want to build an instrument: Brilliant! Check out the github: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms and look at the instrument plugin files- LMMS uses C++, and it's good to get used to the format. Then check out this discussion https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/issues/1460 and try to fork master then create a PR of LMMS with the drumpad plugin.
If you want more help, then look around the github and join the discord (https://lmms.io/chat) and ask around. As someone who has never developed, I can't help there myself. But the other devs on discord definitely can, so discord is the best place to ask re: developing.
Play with the idea of a drumpad instrument plugin wherein each slot can be filled by a different instrument plugin or preset- it's the most all-encompassing idea of all.
All the best!
