Wer hätte gedacht, dass 30 Minuten Scripting für den Kleinen (zweieinhalbjährigen) so einen Spaß machen. Verwendet wurden:

• Ein bestehendes Launchpad Mini (https://novationmusic.com/de/launch/launchpad-mini)
• Die dazu passende Python Library (https://github.com/FMMT666/launchpad.py)
• Python für VSCode (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python)

Die eigentliche Logik für „Drücken bis rot .. aufnehmen .. abspielen“ war dann als Erstversion schnell gestrickt, viele weitere Versionen mit Farben, blinkenden Buttons u.s.w. werden folgend denke ich 🙂
