Ableton Live /Novation Launchpad Controller

Take control of Ableton Live using its extraordinary dedicated controller, the Launchpad. This makes it very easy to control your mix in a recording or performing environment so you spend less time touching your mouse and more time playing

We think:

With a multi-colour 64-button grid and dedicated scene launch buttons, Launchpad is purpose built for triggering and manipulating clips in Live, it also offers a totally new way of controlling Ableton Live’s mixer. Launchpad's buttons can be used to sketch out beats with drum racks, and they can be assigned to other functions in Live using Ableton's 'Learn' mode. Launchpad ships with a dedicated ‘Launchpad edition’ of Ableton Live 8, but can control almost any other music software using Novation's award-winning 'Automap' control software.

64 (8x8 grid) square multi-colour back-lit buttons
8 round multi-colour back-lit system buttons (assignable)
8 round multi-colour back-lit function buttons (not assignable)

Expand your Ableton control solution
Novation’s controllers work seamlessly together, a ZeRO SL MkII to control Live's mixer and devices, whilst Launchpad triggers clips! Novation's SL MkII controllers have now been fully integrated into Live by Ableton and Novation's development teams

Control other software
Launchpad can also be control other DAWs and plug-ins using Novation's Automap control software. Automap can assign controls to software parameters on VST/AU/RTAS/TDM plug-ins by simply clicking on them, and touching a controller! This works in almost any DAW, whether it has a 'Learn' function or not.

For example, Launchpad can be used to control Logic's Ultrabeat, Reason's Redrum and Pro Tools' Boom drum machine. Also, controlling 3rd party plug-ins like NI's Battery or Fxpansion's Guru with Launchpad is literally just one click and one button press away!

Novation's Automap control software includes an on screen edit page showing you exactly what is assigned to what. You can also use Launchpad as a standard MIDI controller transmitting CC and MIDI note data from its 72 buttons.
