With deep Ableton Live integration and upgraded RGB pads, the Launchpad Pro [MK3] from Novation builds on their series for a performance grid that’s like no other. If you’re looking for a production grid that’ll let your creativity shine, we at Musician’s Friend think the Launchpad Pro [MK3] may be just the tool you need.

Ableton Live frees your creativity

The Launchpad Pro [MK3] features Novation’s deepest integration with Ableton Live yet. Using your new Launchpad, it’s easy to launch clips and scenes, access mixer, device and transport controls, and quantize, duplicate and double — and you’ll never have to touch your mouse once. When you’re in the mindset to create something new, Ableton Live’s Capture MIDI function is just a click away so you’ll never have a good idea go to waste. With the built-in  sequencer, you can sequence virtual instruments and instantly print patterns to Clips using the Ableton Live integration.

64 RGB pads let you customize your grid

Novation also spent some time upgrading the pads on this newest version of the Launchpad. These large, velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads work seamlessly with Ableton Live. It’s perfect for playing grooves, launching clips and more. With Scale Mode, you can lock each pad to a specific musical key. Use Chord Mode to build harmonies, no matter how complex they get, all from your grid. Dynamic Note helps you play in-key basslines, melodies, chords and leads. Launchpad Pro will even know when you’re drumming and shows your drum rack on the grid.

Four-track, 32-step sequencer and MIDI compatibility

Also built into the Launchpad Pro [MK3] is the four-track, 32-step sequencer. It features eight-note polyphony, pattern chaining and scenes that will help you create and trigger longer sequences. Plus, probability, mutation, sync rate and play order controls let your tracks evolve as you go. Use Scenes to connect patterns and assign them so you can easily build full songs.

The Launchpad Pro [MK3] is also compatible with MIDI software or hardware thanks to eight Custom Modes, which customize your mappings and MIDI control. It integrates into the setup you already have. Add in the Easy Start Tool, and you’ll be playing and performing with your Launchpad right away. With or without a computer, the Launchpad Pro [MK3] produces when you want it, how you want it.

Your creative hub for music production

There’s no denying it: the Launchpad Pro [MK3] is the grid to get for creativity you can customize. With its responsive pads and unmatched Ableton Live integration, we think you’ll be accomplishing a lot of creative music making with the Launchpad.
