- Fixed VideoWall template landscape 180°
- Fixed media remaining black on 3D surfaces in certain conditions

MadMapper 5.4 BETA 2 available with, among other things, the Launchpad Mini Mk3 now supported by the Control Surface module
(You can download the BETA 2 from the website / user account / downloads section)

With MadMapper 5.4 BETA 2 now supporting the Launchpad Mini Mk3 via the Control Surface module, it really opens up some tactile possibilities for mapping and performance. The Mini Mk3’s compact form and RGB feedback are a great match for triggering cues, controlling effects, or even launching presets live — all without touching the laptop.
