not with a launchpad specific config yet no - i'm aiming to do it over the weekend. if you mean the one with twitch style controls and multi layers etc.

it has supported the launchpad right from the start, there's a devices/launchpad.lua file that defines what midi is sent/recv by the launchpad for all the buttons.

but if u want a config that works out of the box you'll need to wait a few days. btw i'll only be updating the thread in my sig, so some people see it but not too many, so i don't get asked the same issues over and over in case of problems

when i'm 100% happy with it i'll also create a new thread ofc.

there again i can do any/all i need with my own midimasher and i wouldn't want even more software sitting between traktor and the launchpad. would be like me still using DaRouter with my scs.3d when using midimasher as well

would be my choice for using traktor

http://docs.monome.org/doku.php?id=app:dj64

or this with nonome for a standalone solution
looks nice but uses max/msp i guess? not cheap software...

i much prefer to have actual pots+faders as a mixer - but in a pinch i could do everything i needed in a few launchpad pages/layers. even a nanokontrol or lpd8 are fine to add in some rotary goodness ofc...
