Novation Launchpad Pro Controller MK3

Colourful
Pads

The
pads are the main feature of the Launchpad, and accordingly they've
had a major overhaul. Most noticably, they now give full RGB LED
feedback to help you navigate the different functions to control
your instruments and track. It's now really simple to apply effects,
switch to specific mixer controls and know exactly where you are and
what you are doing so that you can focus on the music you're
creating.

So
with instruments the grid illuminates as a chromatic keyboard, Press
and hold the mixer function to see and quickly change
levels as a transition with a vertical fader grid use the velocity
sensitivity to denote how quickly the fader moves.

The
feel has also been updated for more control by making the pads
pressure AND velocity sensitive for dynamic and expressive musical
performances.

Here's What Novation Say About the
Launchpad Pro Controller

Use
an 8x8 grid of RGB velocity-sensitive pads to trigger and combine
clips, create dynamic beats, bash out melodic lines and control your
external hardware.

Enhance your performance:

Launchpad
Pro is the best and simplest performance grid instrument for Ableton
Live. It integrates seamlessly and simplifies the challenge of
performing live in Ableton, by giving you hands-on control of your
clips and tracks with four simple modes: Session, Note, Device and
User. You don't need to set anything up; simply plug in and starting
playing your music – everything will just work

Control just about anything:

Whichever
software you're using, Launchpad Pro lets you control it and any
piece of external hardware. Plug it straight into Logic Pro and play
it like a keyboard, or connect the MIDI ports to Bass Station II and
play riffs on your grid.

Immediately play your clips:

The
8x8 grid of RGB pads light up to match the colour of your clips in
Ableton, so you can concentrate on triggering and combining your
loops and ideas.

Scale Mode:

The
pads automatically assign themselves to the notes of one of 32 keys
and modes, making it impossible to play out of key.

Make
dynamic beats: drum racks are automatically laid out and illuminated,
which makes it as easy as possible to create expressive beats and
drum performances using the velocity and pressure-sensitive pads.

Play it like an instrument:

You
can easily play notes, scales and chords on the grid, because
Launchpad Pro illuminates its pads in melodic layouts. You'll get RGB
LED feedback every time you press a pad and, if you're in Standalone
Mode, you can use the grid to play any of your software and external
hardware, too.

Mix without losing focus:

Get
slick, immediate access to all your mixer controls mid-performance,
so you stay in your flow. There's no need to enter a separate mixer
mode; press and hold a mixer function button (like mute or volume),
make a change, and then simply release the button to drop straight
back into your performance.

Easily control your effects:

Control
any Ableton effect or instrument mid-performance to add engaging,
expressive effects like reverb, beat repeats and filters. The button
grid turns into eight velocity-sensitive vertical faders, with LED
feedback for super smooth effect transitions.

Build your own creations:

Max
for Live lets you use your Launchpad Pro however you like: turn it
into a step sequencer, trigger videos from drum pads or use it to
create just about anything you can imagine. Alternatively, engage
with the whole community of Max for Live creators to find limitless
inspiration and downloads.

Sleek, lightweight and modular:

This
grid is built for performing. It's compact and light enough to throw
in your bag, yet tough enough to survive the roughest gigs. You can
bus-power it via USB, or use the included power supply to take full
advantage of the super bright RGB LEDs during dusk performances. Like
all Launch products, you can chain it to multiple Launchpads and
connect it to the rest of your studio or live setup.

It's
class compliant and doesn't need any drivers: you just install the
software, plug it in and start performing.
