Overview

A MIDI pad controller for hands-on clip launching and beats.

Big creative control doesn’t have to come in a big package, and the Novation Launchpad Mini MK3 proves it with a powerful 64-pad grid controller designed for producing, performing and experimenting on the go. Featuring bright RGB pads, intuitive clip launching, Custom Modes and seamless USB-C connectivity, it delivers hands-on control for modern music workflows in a compact footprint. While often associated with Ableton Live, Launchpad Mini is built to work just as effectively with Logic, Cubase, Bitwig and more, making it a flexible controller for almost any DAW. Add in bus-powered operation, mobile compatibility and included production software, and Launchpad Mini becomes an ideal entry point into grid-based music creation without sacrificing capability.

64 RGB Pads With Real-Time Visual Feedback

The 8×8 grid of RGB pads gives you a clear, immediate view of your session while keeping every control within reach. Each pad lights up to reflect clip status, so you always know what’s playing, queued or recording without relying on your screen. The bottom row doubles as Stop, Solo and Mute controls, streamlining your workflow during both production and performance. This visual, tactile approach transforms your DAW into an interactive instrument, making it easy to build arrangements and trigger ideas in real time.

Play Melodies, Beats and Patterns Without a Keyboard

Keys Mode transforms the grid into a playable instrument, giving you four octaves of notes in a consistent, easy-to-learn layout. Because scale shapes remain the same across keys, it’s simple to create melodies and chords without traditional keyboard training. Drum Mode provides a familiar 4×4 layout for finger drumming, letting you tap out beats or trigger samples with precision. These performance modes make Launchpad Mini equally useful for composing ideas and performing them live.

Custom Modes for Personalized Control

With Novation Components, you can tailor Launchpad Mini to fit your exact workflow. Create custom grids for triggering MIDI notes, controlling plugins or sending keystrokes, and store up to three Custom Modes directly on the device. Whether you need virtual faders, effect toggles or a dedicated control layout for your favorite software, Launchpad Mini gives you the flexibility to design your own performance environment with minimal effort.

Flexible DAW Integration Beyond Ableton

Launchpad Mini is designed to integrate smoothly with a wide range of software environments, not just Ableton Live. Whether you're working in Logic Pro, Cubase, Bitwig or another MIDI-compatible DAW, the controller provides reliable clip launching, transport control and performance functionality. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for producers who want a grid controller that adapts to their workflow rather than locking them into a single platform. It’s a powerful reminder that Launchpad controllers are far more than Ableton-only tools.

Portable Design With Everything You Need to Create

Designed for mobility, Launchpad Mini is lightweight, bus-powered and compact enough to fit in virtually any bag, making it perfect for creating music wherever inspiration strikes. It works seamlessly with the Launchpad app on iOS for mobile production, while the included Ableton Live Lite, Cubase LE and additional plugins provide a complete starting point for studio work. With an easy setup process and included Melodics lessons for skill-building, Launchpad Mini delivers a streamlined, powerful music-making experience across virtually any setup.
