I have connected LaunchControl XL to USB Host and I want to be able switching between pages with buttons and also controlling parameters of presets / sending CCs to other analog gear. Am I missing something or I’m can only switch pages on CTRL port or controlling stuff on Port 1,2, but not both at the same time??

this sounds basically as the same topic as @jhh mentioned in his post. I will try to come up with some way to make it possible to have the external control on regular ports too.

So does that mean you’re working on it? 
yup, the sysex calls for switching pages and presets are ready in the upcoming public release. I am still not sure about allowing the program change, note, cc messages on other than the USB CTRL port - it would require allocating a MIDI channel for the Electra control commands.
I am not sure, however, if LauchControl supports sysex. Do you happen to know, if the individual pads/knobs/faders (on the LaunchControl) can be assigned to different MIDI channels?
I just found out that unfortunately there is no sysex support for LaunchControl. This is all it can do:

yeah, I took a look at that by myself and saw that. The good thing is that Electra can use Note / CC for handling page/preset switches. The only thing is that USB CTRL port is currently used to separate electra commands from normal MIDI traffic. I will try to add a configuration option that would allow Electra commands on a specific MIDI channel on port 1/2. That should resolve it.

I’m really grateful, thanks!
v3.0 has a configuration option for it. It will be possible to specify a port and a midi channel for the external MIDI control. I expect 3.0 to leave the beta testing in one / two weeks time max.
