Unfortunately, the Launchkey cannot be configured. It is relying on the DAW to do all the heavy lifting. I like the unit, but I think this is a definite drawback, and probably would have reconsidered my purchase had I know this.

I'm starting to wonder whether mididings might be the way to go after all. One thing that always greatly enhances software tools is the ability to use scripts for automated control and mididings gives us that ability. The only annoyance at this point is that the script is not synced to the initial state of the software controls, since it assumes everything is off at startup. Thus, if the monitor (or mute, or solo) is selected at startup, the first keypress keeps it in the on state. After that, it is in sync.

How exactly does latch mode work and what is it expecting? Is it:

   keypress   => CC,#,127 => "On"
   keyrelease => (nothing)
   keypress   => CC,#,0   => "Off"

or is it:

   keypress   => CC,#,127 => "On"
   keyrelease => (nothing)
   keypress   => CC,#,127 => "Off"

Note that the Launchkey does this:

   keypress   => CC,#,127 => "On"
   keyrelease => CC,#,0   => (ignore)
   keypress   => CC,#,127 => "Off"
   keyrelease => CC,#,0   => (ignore)
