Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 MIDI Grid Controller

Take full control of your music without ever reaching for a mouse. The Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 is a professional-grade grid controller designed to unify your DAW, plugins and hardware into one seamless, hands-on workflow. Featuring 64 velocity-sensitive RGB pads with polyphonic aftertouch, a built-in multi-track sequencer, deep DAW integration and full MIDI connectivity, it’s equally at home in the studio or on stage. While it has strong roots with Ableton Live, Launchpad Pro is built to work just as intuitively with Logic, Bitwig, Ardour and more—making it a flexible hub for nearly any DAW setup. Add standalone operation, Custom Modes and included production software, and Launchpad Pro becomes a complete performance and composition tool for modern producers.

Standalone Sequencer and Hardware Control

Beyond DAW control, Launchpad Pro doubles as a powerful standalone production hub. Its built-in four-track, 32-step sequencer allows real-time recording, pattern chaining and scene launching for both software and external gear. With MIDI In, Out and Out2/Thru connections, you can control synths, drum machines and effects directly—no computer required. Advanced features like probability, mutation and micro steps give you deep creative control over evolving patterns.

Expressive Performance With Polyphonic Aftertouch Pads

The 64-pad grid offers exceptional playability with velocity sensitivity and polyphonic aftertouch, turning the controller into a highly expressive instrument. Note mode provides chromatic and scale layouts across four octaves, while Chord mode simplifies complex harmonic structures. Drum mode recreates a classic 4×4 pad layout for intuitive beat-making, allowing you to perform melodies, rhythms and chords with a natural, responsive feel.

Custom Modes and Hands-On Workflow Control

With Novation Components, Launchpad Pro adapts to your exact workflow. Create up to eight Custom Modes featuring MIDI CC controls, faders, program changes and more, all arranged exactly how you need them. Dedicated buttons for transport, track control and mixing functions ensure immediate access to essential parameters, keeping your workflow fast, focused and performance-ready.

Deep DAW Integration Across Multiple Platforms

Launchpad Pro delivers tight integration with Ableton Live while also providing powerful control for a wide range of DAWs. Launch clips and scenes, access mixer, transport and device controls, and perform edits like quantise, duplicate and double directly from the hardware. Unlike older perceptions of Launchpad as an Ableton-only tool, this controller is designed to enhance workflows across multiple platforms, making it an adaptable solution for producers working in diverse environments.

Portable Design With Complete Creative Toolkit

Despite its advanced capabilities, Launchpad Pro remains portable and bus-powered, making it easy to take from studio to stage or on the road. It integrates with the Launchpad app on iOS for mobile music creation and comes bundled with Ableton Live Lite, Cubase LE and a suite of instruments and effects to get you started right away. With its combination of portability, power and flexibility, Launchpad Pro is a true centerpiece for any modern production setup.
