Description: # soundpad
        
        A small utility that allows using a novation launchpad mini to be used as soundboard
        in Linux. Initially planned as proof of concept, people asked me for the code, so
        here it is.
        
        # Purpose
        
        Play funny sounds during boring meetings during covid.
        
        # Usage
        
        Invoke it with a list of directories that contain wav and ogg files. They will be
        loaaded dir after dir and mapped to the buttons.
        
        The files can be played in various modes of operation.
        
        ## Special buttons
        
        Press Buttons 1-8 to select a page
        
        Press A9 to toggle play mode
        
        Press B9 to stop all sounds
        
        Hold H9 while pressing a sound button to loop that sound
        
        Press 1 + 8 simultaneously to quit and turn off all LEDs.
        
        
        ## Play modes:
        
        A9 off: stop all sounds when starting a new one (solo)")
        
        A9 red: sound plays while button is hold down")
        
        A9 orange: same sound plays each time a button is pressed (in parallel)")
        
        A9 green: sounds will stop automatically")
        
        
        ## Example
        
        activate solo playmode, hold down H9 and press a button to start plaing a loop,
        if you now start another sound, the loop will stop and the new file play once.
        Useful for a gameshow effect
        
        
        
        # Platform
        
        Tested with debian GNU/Linux.
        
        # Requirements
        
        A novation launchpad mini - others may work too, but I removed the configuration
        as this utility was planned as a proof of concept only.
        
        Also pygame and the lauchpad\_py.
        
        You can find launchpad\_py at https://github.com/FMMT666/launchpad.py
        
        Note that currently (2021-03-11) the version has a bug preventing the top row
        of leds to be correctly used, they will become yellow and stay on.
        
        A fixed version can be found here: https://github.com/mutax/launchpad.py/tree/fix_automap_leds until
        the pull request with the fix is merged.
