launchpad 
A package allows you to talk to your Novation Launchpad in Go. Light buttons or read your touches.
This library is currently only working with Launchpad S (Green-Red Launchpads) but we are trying to support multiple models and layouts.
go get github.com/rakyll/launchpadPortmidi is required to use this package.
$ apt-get install libportmidi-dev
# or
$ brew install portmidi
Usage
Initialize a new Launchpad. If there are no currently connected Launchpad device, initialization will fail with an error. You can fake a device by creating an input and output MIDI device and name them as Launchpad.
pad, err = launchpad.Open();
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error initializing launchpad: %v", err)
}
defer pad.Close()
// turn off all of the lights
pad.Clear()Coordinate system
The coordinate system is illustrated below.

Demo: Light your touchs
A simple program to light every touch:
pad, err := launchpad.Open()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer pad.Close()
pad.Clear()
ch := pad.Listen()
for {
select {
case hit := <-ch:
pad.Light(hit.X, hit.Y, 3, 3)
}
