So this is the main sketch where I check whether either one of the 5 buttons is pressed. Depending on the combination then it either calls an effect function right away or changes the pattern switch case. It is more or less repeating everything for each pad so I only left out 2 examples per category just to get an idea. I haven't included the sketches for the effects, hope that makes it clearer.
