Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 64-Pad Performance Controller for Ableton

Launchpad Pro is the hands-on hub for your entire workflow, from your DAW and plugins to hardware synths and effects. In the studio or on stage, its 64 polyphonic-aftertouch pads seamlessly switch between launching clips, playing and editing notes and drum patterns, mixing, sequencing, and controlling your setup with Custom Modes - with or without a computer connected. Alongside deep Ableton Live integration, Launchpad Pro works intuitively with Logic Pro, Bitwig, Ardour, and more. Launchpad, a legendary line of grid controllers, has always been about getting you hands-on with your sound. The original, released back in 2009 in collaboration with Ableton, spawned an entire genre of mashups, remixes, and original productions overnight. Today, the Launchpad range has evolved to power all sorts of setups - in the studio, on stage, and on the go with the Launchpad app for iPhone and iPad. Thanks to extra dedicated controls, Launchpad Pro is Novation's ultimate grid controller for Ableton Live. It's ideal for building tracks, jamming out ideas, and perform live by launching clips and scenes in Session Mode. You can also access mixer, device and transport controls directly, and quantize, duplicate and double without reaching for the mouse. And with Capture MIDI, you'll never lose a good idea again. Launchpad Pro also pairs perfectly with Logic Pro, Bitwig, Ardour, and more. Step outside the box or embrace hybrid workflow with MIDI In, Out, and Out 2/Thru connections. Launchpad Pro makes it easy to connect and control your hardware synths with the built-in Sequencer, Note, Chord, Custom, and Programmer modes, then tie it all together with your DAW workflow should you choose. Launchpad Pro's 64 RGB pads let you know exactly what's happening with your DAW's clips and scenes and allow you to create arrangements on the fly. You also get direct access to Stop, Solo, Mute and Record Arm controls, and can even transform your pads into a tactile control surface for adjusting track volumes, pans, sends, and more. Launchpad Pro features a four-track, eight-note polyphonic, 32-step standalone sequencer. It allows real-time step recording, pattern chaining, and scene triggering for both software and hardware instruments. You also get Micro Steps to take grooves off-grid and Probability, Mutation, Sync Rate and Play Order controls to transform patterns on the fly. And Ableton Live users can instantly print their favorite patterns to clips.

No keyboard, no problem. Launchpad Pro's pads are velocity sensitive and feature polyphonic aftertouch. Note mode turns them into a highly expressive keyboard in either a chromatic or scale-based layout, and Chord mode makes it easy to explore, build, and save complex chords. You get four octaves of notes with the lowest in the bottom left and the highest at in the top right and, unlike a piano keyboard, scales and chord shapes remain the same in every key, making Launchpad especially easy to learn. Drum mode recreates a classic 4x4 drum-pad layout in a section of Launchpad Pro's grid, allowing you to play beats or trigger samples in real time. Velocity sensitivity and polyphonic aftertouch make it easy to add a human touch to your playing. Launchpad Pro is Novation's most fully featured grid controller to date, with dedicated buttons for starting and stopping playback and recording; arming, muting, and soloing tracks; instantly accessing mixer controls and more. Despite the extra on-board controls, it's still perfectly portable and slips easily into most backpacks. Plug it into your iPad or iPhone, and it's ideal for making music on the move with the Launchpad app. The Novation Components software lets you customize Launchpad Pro to fit perfectly into your unique setup, whether you work in a DAW, with hardware, or a combination of the two. Create a custom grid for your stage setup, a set of virtual faders for a favorite plugin, or a dedicated row of buttons for toggling effects, then lay it all out exactly the way you want. You can drag and drop Custom Mode widgets to create up to eight unique combinations that include keystrokes, faders, custom note modes, program changes, and MIDI CCs. Launchpad Pro comes with Ableton Live 12 Lite and Cubase LE, plus a suite of essential instruments and effects from Novation's partners. Novation's Easy Start guide is designed to get you up and running with your new hardware and software in no time at all, and 40 Launchpad-specific finger-drumming lessons from Novation's friends at Melodics are included at no extra cost.
