    Hello,

    I own a Novation Launchkey 37 MK3 which has 8 knobs, 16 drum pads and an LED screen that can show 2x 16 characters (2 rows).
    As software I use Midi Translator Pro (on Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit) and I was already able to program the Pad colors and the LED text.

    Now my problem:
    I'm unable to program the knob parameter names for the LED screen.
    When I rotate any knob, it simply shows me the value from 0 till 127 on the 2nd row.
    But the 1st row is always empty.

    What I would like to have is like:
    First knob:...Second knob:
    Cutoff........Resonance
    1-127.........1-127

    This is how I programmed the LCD screen (to have "Test" as default display text):
    Incoming rule:....|. Outgoing action:.............................To Port:
    Keypress Q........|.Send RAW MIDI...............................LKMK3 MIDI 2
    ......................|.F0 00 20 29 02 0F 04 00 54 65 73 74 F7..
    WORKS!

    Now for the knobs I tried:
    Incoming rule:.....................|.Outgoing action:.............................To Port:
    MIDI Message Control Change:..| Send RAW MIDI................................LKMK3 MIDI 2
    CH16, CC#21, Any value.........|.F0 00 20 29 02 0F 07 38 54 65 73 74 F7..
    .......................................(38 = first knob, 54 65 73 74 = Test, in real would be Cutoff etc.)......

    ONLY SHOWS VALUE 1 TILL 127!

    This is what the manual says:
    What am I doing wrong?

    Solved it!

    I needed to add LKMK3 MIDI 2 also for incoming port!

    Thanks anyway.
