The Novation Launchpad is a very cool control surface designed specifically for Ableton Live. The Novation Launchpad features a multi-colour 64-button grid and dedicated scene launch buttons. The LaunchPad is purpose built for triggering and manipulating clips in Ableton Live, bringing a whole new dimension of Live, whether it's in the studio or on the stage.
The Novation Launchpad features a dedicated 'Launchpad edition' of Ableton Live 8. But Launch Pad is not exclusive to Ableton Live. Empowered with Novation's exclusive Automap software, it can turn its hand to controlling almost any music software. Switch to 'mixer mode' and the same button grid offers a unique way to control Ableton Live's mixer. Volume, pans, sends, track arming, soloing and muting can all be controlled via the grid. Using buttons instead of dials, Launchpad lets you jump to different levels across
The Novation Launchpad is designed to work together, with up six units at once. That's 432 assignable buttons! Need faders, keys, drum pads and more? Launchpad works seamlessly alongside all of Novation's other controllers, including the SL MkII with its dedicated co-designed Ableton control layout. Launchpad can also operate as a grid expansion for the Akai APC40.
