[follow-up of an old post]
Here is a midimap for the Novation Launchkey MK3 37.
I have mapped the keys I use in my workflow. Most of them are mapped to different actions as those written on the physical key.
The transport keys and the Tracks keys are OK though.
The file is commented, to know which key makes what, and to help further custom mappings.
If there is interest—and someone tells me how to do it correctly—I can make a pull request in Github as well.
(Public domain CC0, just in case.)
