Novation Launchpad Pro USB MIDI Controller at a Glance:

• Standalone mode lets you play just about anything
• Quick, immediate access to your mixer controls
• Complete control for adding engaging, expressive effects

Chord and Scale Modes turn your Launchpad Pro into an instrument

Even the original Launchpad provided an instrument-like feel, allowing you to play notes and trigger drums, but the Launchpad Pro MK3 seriously ups the ante. That's because Novation equipped the Launchpad Pro with special Chord and Scale Modes. Chord Mode makes it easy to explore different chord voicings and harmonies, and trigger them right from the grid. Scale Modes automatically assign the pads to specific notes, making it impossible for you to play out of key. All told, Chord and Scale Modes not only let you play your Launchpad Pro MK3 like an instrument, they can inspire your creativity.

Quick, immediate access to your mixer controls

In addition to its remarkable playability, the Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 controller also gives you quick, immediate access to all of your mixer controls. This lets you change settings in the midst of a performance without losing your flow. There's no separate mixer mode to hamper your creativity — simply press and hold a button, make a change, release the button, and drop straight back to your performance. It really is that easy to tweak channel levels and panning, aux send levels, and so on.

What Novation Says...

Launchpad Pro is our most powerful 64-pad MIDI grid controller for producing: both in Ableton Live and with your hardware. It gives you everything you need to create and perform your tracks.

Deeper Live Integration

The most advanced Novation grid controller for producing with Ableton Live. Launchpad Pro has dedicated buttons that get you closer to the Ableton Live workflow. Launch clips and scenes, access mixer, device and transport controls, and quantise, duplicate and double, all without touching your mouse. Capture MIDI makes sure you never miss an idea.

The Complete Sequencing Workstation

Keep your tracks evolving with the four-track, eight-note polyphonic, 32-step standalone sequencer. Sequence virtual instruments and instantly print patterns to Clips in Ableton Live. Or hook up your favourite hardware to play patterns via MIDI — Launchpad Pro integrates seamlessly. Micro Steps take grooves off-grid. Probability, Mutation, Sync Rate and Play Order let you transform your patterns on the fly. Patterns can be chained together and assigned to Scenes to build complete songs.

The Most Playable Launchpad Yet

Launchpad Pro’s velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads are bigger and more responsive than ever — perfect for playing grooves and launching clips. Scale mode locks pads to a musical key so you never hit a wrong note. Chord mode is an inspirational tool for building harmonies.

Custom Modes: Make Launchpad Pro Your Own

Design hands-on control surfaces for any MIDI-compatible software or hardware using Custom Modes. Simply drag and drop widgets in Novation Components to configure the layout of the 8x8 grid, then store configurations as one of eight Custom Modes. Disconnect the computer (if you want to), then switch between Modes for expressive and flexible control of anything MIDI. Design the perfect controller for your live setup and perform with all your gear, however you want.

Control MIDI-compatible Hardware, Software, Or Both

Tailor Launchpad Pro to your setup, then take control of MIDI-compatible hardware and software — with or without a computer. Use Custom Modes to send MIDI commands to software and hardware simultaneously. Hook Launchpad Pro up to an all-hardware rig using MIDI In, Out and Out 2/Thru ports on 3.5mm connectors
