The Novation Launchpad Ableton Live Controller for DJ Performance and Studio Composition including Ableton Live 8 Launch Pad Edition.
The Novation Launchpad Ableton Controller has been jointly designed by Novation and Ableton, integrating instantly and seamlessly to provide a powerful and musical way to physically and visually interact with Ableton Live. Now you can really ‘Play Live’.
With a multi-colour 64-button grid and dedicated scene launch buttons, Novation Launch Pad is purpose built for triggering and manipulating clips in Live. It also offers a new and exciting way of controlling Ableton Live’s mixer.
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 eight channels at once – great for controlling multiple effects sends.
Novation Launch pad is also great for sketching out beats. Switch to ‘user mode 1’ and the 64 buttons become drum pad triggers with a direct line to Ableton Live’s Drum Racks. However, Launchpad has two 'user' modes, and both are fully customizable. Using Live’s own learn function, they let you create your own control setup, exactly the way you want it.
Novation Launchpad is also the ideal controller for Max for Live. The customizable user modes are flexible enough to deal with even the most detailed Max for Live devices and can handle generic parameters and controls with ease. Programmers can utilise variable brightness and multi-colour (eleven) LED states to their full advantage when designing new and innovative tools in Max for Live. The possibilities for devices are limitless.
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.
