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.
