Traktor Kontrol F1 Clip Launching

[loganeer]

Hey Everyone, I'm trying to write a script for a Kontrol F1, which I realize is a little under-featured for the task, but I've already started and now it's driving me crazy. Basically I'd like to use it for transport, and clip and scene launching. Transport was easy enough but I really have no idea where to start to get the 4x4 pads linked to the clip launcher.
Is anyone feeling kind enough to describe the basic mechanics of doing so? I've been pouring through the API documentation for hours and tried to wrap my head around the Maschine Jam script to get an idea, but it's so abstracted, it just made my brain hurt. Just a nudge in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thanks!
