Ok. Pure dead brilliant. Figured it out. It only took 2 days. For those complete newbies like me follow this list: 1. Plug in Launchpad. 2. Go to "Audio Midi Setup" Located in Utilities. (A Cmd+Spacebar followed by typing "Audio Midi Setup" works too). 2. Make sure you are in the Midi tab, or Midi portion of Audio Midi Setup. 4. Set the IAC Driver to Enabled by clicking on it until a dialog box shows up and then clicking the checkbox that enables it. 5. Do the same for the Launchpad. 6. Open up any of the files from this forum (shown above in previous posts). 7. Press Control+C to show the wires. 8. Wire "Launchpad..." to "From Launchpad" near the bottom left corner of the cluster of objects in the environment window. 9. Click the drop down arrow on the top left of the logic screen and navigate to "All Objects" 10. Click on the IAC Object (about half way down) and then on the left hand side of the screen you will see an option for port: Set this to the non grayed out IAC option. 11. Click on Launchpad and set its port to the non grayed out Launchpad Option. All done! Your launchpad should light up a little. Press play and watch and listen as magic occurs.

I just got a Novation Launchpad Mini, and I plugged it into my iMac running Logic 9.1.8. I have no idea what an IAC is or how it works, nor am I finding many (if any) resources on the internet on how to use or what it is. These wiring setups are great, but I keep getting relentless errors like this: Instrument “LaunchPad” sends to a MIDI port named “Launchpad Mini 2” of MIDI interface “Launchpad Mini 2” which no longer exists. Please check if all MIDI interfaces are connected and switched on; otherwise adjust the instrument’s MIDI out port setting. and Instrument “IAC1” sends to a MIDI port named “IAC 1” of MIDI interface “IAC Driver” which no longer exists. Please check if all MIDI interfaces are connected and switched on; otherwise adjust the instrument’s MIDI out port setting. I literally have spent hours researching this and no one has an answer for me. I need a ground up, from plug in to running smoothly tutorial from you guys. You guys here seem to be the only people on the planet who are wiring Launchpad into Logic, which is exactly what I need to do. Thanks ahead of time! EDIT Found out how to use the IAC driver, but still have no idea how you guys have it set up here.
