Eight precision 60mm faders with selectable fader pickup provide smooth, responsive level control without sudden jumps, 24 smooth-feeling endless rotary encoders with adjustable response curves and dedicated RGB LEDs offer extensive parameter control, and 16 colour-coded assignable buttons across two rows link directly to DAW tracks for instant focus switching, solo, mute and arm. A dedicated transport section allows play, pause and record control directly from the unit, and a crisp OLED display keeps essential information visible at all times. Up to 15 Custom Modes can be stored to fit any studio or stage workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eConnecting via USB-C or 5-pin MIDI I\/O, Launch Control XL offers powerful DAW integration with custom scripts for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio and Bitwig, plus Mackie HUI support for compatibility with virtually any other DAW. MIDI In, Out and Out2\/Thru ports enable custom-mapped control over hardware synths and effects with no computer required, and Custom Modes allow the controller to be split for simultaneous control of multiple connected devices. The package includes studio-grade software to get started straight away: Ableton Live Lite, Cubase LE, and a selection of bonus plugins from Klevgrand, Baby Audio and Output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatch The Novation Launch Control XL 3 In Action...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nQv9Nyr8vzw?si=JwHc3HK5WLBlO-4z\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eEight Faders \u0026amp; 24 Endless Encoders\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe eight 60mm faders provide precise, responsive control over mix levels, with selectable fader pickup ensuring smooth transitions rather than sudden jumps when a Custom Mode is recalled. Custom Modes allow the faders to be mapped to effects, filters and any other parameter for hands-on sound shaping in the studio or on stage. The 24 endless rotary encoders each feature adjustable response curves and a dedicated RGB LED indicating relative value — in DAW encoder mode they can pan tracks, adjust sends and navigate the DAW timeline, or be fully customised via Custom Modes for any other purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e16 Assignable Buttons \u0026amp; Dedicated Transport Controls\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eTwo rows of eight colour-coded buttons eliminate endless clicking by linking directly to DAW tracks, allowing instant focus switching alongside quick solo, mute and arm access. Buttons can also be freely assigned to hardware switches, MIDI notes, CCs, program changes and keystrokes. A dedicated transport section provides direct play, pause, stop and record control from the unit itself, and in DAW Control mode the bottom row of encoders gives instant access to additional functions including playhead scrubbing, loop point adjustment and arrangement navigation — keeping you in the flow without menu-diving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003ePowerful DAW Integration, Hardware Control \u0026amp; Included Software\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCustom DAW scripts provide deep integration with Ableton Live 12 or later, Logic Pro 11 and later, Cubase 12 and later, FL Studio and Bitwig, while Mackie HUI support extends compatibility to virtually any other DAW. Beyond the computer, 5-pin MIDI In, Out and Out2\/Thru ports enable custom-mapped control of hardware synths and effects with no computer needed at all. The bundled software package includes Ableton Live Lite for recording, clip launching and performance, Cubase LE for structured songwriting and production, and creative plugins from Klevgrand (Fosfat), Baby Audio (Parallel Aggressor) and Output (Movement) to get you started immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKEY FEATURES: Novation Launch Control XL 3 MIDI Controller\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24 Endless Encoders:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth rotary encoders with dedicated RGB LEDs and adjustable response curves for precise, intuitive parameter control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8 x 60mm Faders:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision faders with selectable fader pickup provide smooth, responsive mix control without sudden level jumps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16 Assignable Buttons:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two rows of colour-coded buttons link to DAW tracks for instant focus, solo, mute and arm, or assign freely to hardware, MIDI notes, CCs and keystrokes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated Transport Controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct play, pause, stop and record control from the unit, plus DAW Control mode encoder functions for scrubbing and loop point adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Modes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store up to 15 Custom Modes to tailor Launch Control XL's layout to specific studio or stage workflows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDAW Integration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom scripts for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio and Bitwig, plus Mackie HUI support for broader compatibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMIDI I\/O:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-pin MIDI In, Out and Out2\/Thru ports enable computer-free control of hardware synths and effects, with Custom Modes allowing the controller to be split across multiple devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOLED Display:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128 x 64 monochrome display provides clear visual feedback on track names, values and assignments at all times.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB-C Connectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bus-powered USB-C connection for straightforward setup with any computer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKensington Security Slot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows the unit to be physically secured in shared or public studio environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Software:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ableton Live Lite, Cubase LE and bonus plugins from Klevgrand, Baby Audio and Output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStudio Centrepiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250 x 239 x 43mm and 0.93kg, designed as a comprehensive hands-on hub for any studio or stage setup.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Novation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58030636859727,"sku":"NOVLPD14","price":185.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/3344\/9551\/files\/LCXL-MK3-Top-Down-2400-2400_v2__42106.webp?v=1782232327","url":"https:\/\/www.audiodirect.co.uk\/products\/novation-launch-control-xl-3-midi-controller","provider":"Audio Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
