The Novation Launchpad is made for Ableton Live — but it’s ready to change any MIDI-triggering world! This controller puts 72 trigger buttons under your reign, making it an amazing companion to Live’s Session View. The Launchpad’s buttons are even backlit, so you always know which clips are playing, loaded, or record enabled. You’ve also got dedicated buttons for launching scenes. If you don’t use Live, go ahead and use Launchpad to map map out the controls however you want — it includes Novation’s renowned AutoMap software.
Take control of Ableton Live’s Session View with this made-for-Live controller. Designed in partnership with Ableton, Launchpad makes it easy for you to trigger clips and scenes. It’s got a 64-button grid with a handy multi-color backlit feature — that way, you always know which clips are playing, which are loaded, and which are record enabled. And you’ve got eight more buttons along the side for your scenes. Launching clips and scenes is easy.
If you’ve got visions of massive Ableton Live sessions, then get ready for total Launchpad madness. You can use up to six Novation Launchpad controllers together, giving you as many as 432 buttons. While the Novation Launchpad is a majorly cool tool for using Live’s Session View, you can also use it to control your mix. Take innovative control over your volume, pans, sends, record arming, soloing, and muting — use Launchpad’s buttons to instantly jump to different levels across eight channels at once.
If you don’t already own Ableton Live software, don’t fret. Included, you get Ableton Live 8 Launchpad Edition, which is fully functional for performance and production. If you do have Ableton Live, your copy of Live 7 or Live 8 is already ready to go with the Novation Launchpad.
Another big Novation Launchpad bonus is that it’s enabled to work with Novation’s Automap software, so you can take instant, intelligent control over VST, AU, RTAS, and TDM plug-ins — as well as an increasing number of standalone samplers and step-sequencers. Automap provides a heads-up transparent display across your computer screen, so you’ve got at-a-glance recognition of what you’re controlling. And you can assign and re-assign parameters with just a quick click and a tap.
