Flip flop

Actions up to the B marker run on every other press.

Where
+ Add actionFlowFlip flop: A
Comes with
Flip flop: B, Flip flop: end, added and removed as one set
Flip flop with side A muting the microphone through System audio and setting the pad colour, side B unmuting it and setting another colour, then Flip flop: end

A flip flop turns one pad into a toggle. The first press runs the A actions, the next press the B actions, then A again. Use it for mute and unmute, lights on and off, or two scenes on one pad.

The three markers

Section titled “The three markers”

Adding a flip flop adds three rows at once:

  • Flip flop: A: the actions below it, up to the B marker, run on every other press.
  • Flip flop: B: the actions between it and the end marker run on the presses in between.
  • Flip flop: end: everything after it runs on every press.

Drag other actions between the markers to put them on a side. The markers keep their order and cannot be dragged past each other. Removing one of them removes all three; the actions in between stay.

The markers have no settings.

How it runs

Section titled “How it runs”
  • Lunchpad remembers which side comes next and saves it in your profile, so the toggle is still right after a restart.
  • The side flips when a run reaches Flip flop: end. If the macro is stopped before that, the same side runs again next time. A second press while the first run is still going also runs the same side.
  • A button can hold several flip flops; each keeps its own side.
  • With Repeat while held, each repeat runs the other side.
