Novation Launchpad Mini MK3 MIDI Controller

Compact 64-Pad RGB Grid Controller For Clip Launching In Ableton Live & Logic Pro – Take Your Music Anywhere – Novation Launchpad Mini MK3.

The Novation Launchpad Mini MK3 is the easiest way to get hands-on with clip launching in Ableton Live and Logic Pro. As Novation's most compact and portable grid controller, it packs everything needed to start performing into a footprint small enough to fit in any bag. The 8x8 grid of 64 RGB pads gives a perfect visual reflection of your Ableton Live session, making it easy to see and trigger clips at a glance, while Stop, Solo and Mute controls provide tactile, hands-on access to performance functions that simply isn't possible with a mouse. In Logic Pro, Live Loops cells can be used to sketch out arrangement ideas quickly, with one-shots, loops, MIDI patterns and automation data dragged, dropped or recorded live into the tracks area to build song arrangements fast.

Three Custom Modes, built using Components, allow the Launchpad Mini to be mapped to control virtually any MIDI parameter beyond clip launching, and the 2.0 firmware update adds a Custom Mode keystroke widget alongside assignable DAW shortcuts for an even faster and more intuitive workflow. Once connected, Novation's Easy Start tool provides step-by-step video guides to get set up with Ableton Live and making music within minutes. The package includes a generous software bundle to start creating straight away: Ableton Live Lite, Cubase LE, a trio of AAS synths, XLN Audio Addictive Keys Studio Grand, Klevgrand R0Verb and DAW Cassette effects, and 40 free finger drumming lessons from Melodics.

64 RGB Pads & Intuitive Ableton Live Integration

The 8x8 grid of 64 RGB pads mirrors your Ableton Live session in real time, making it far easier to see and trigger clips than relying on a mouse and screen alone. Stepping back from the computer and controlling the performance directly via Stop, Solo and Mute on the Launchpad Mini keeps the focus on performing rather than navigating software — making it the natural grid controller of choice for any Live performer, whether in the studio or on stage.

Live Loops In Logic Pro & Custom Modes

For Logic Pro users, Live Loops cells can be activated to experiment with arrangement ideas and record performances on the fly, with cells containing one-shots, loops, MIDI patterns or automation data that can be dragged and dropped or recorded live into the tracks area for fast song arrangement. Beyond clip launching, three Custom Modes built using Components allow the Launchpad Mini to be remapped to control any MIDI parameter, hardware device or software instrument — and the 2.0 firmware update adds a keystroke widget and assignable DAW shortcuts for an even more personalised and efficient workflow.

Compact, Portable & Packed With Included Software

As Novation's most compact and lightweight grid controller, the Launchpad Mini MK3 is genuinely small enough to take everywhere, ensuring inspiration can be acted on wherever it strikes. USB-C bus power means no separate power supply is needed, and a Kensington MiniSaver slot allows it to be physically secured in shared studio environments. The included software bundle — Ableton Live Lite, Cubase LE, three AAS synths, XLN Audio Addictive Keys Studio Grand featuring the Steinway D, and Klevgrand R0Verb and DAW Cassette effects — provides everything needed to start creating immediately, while 40 free Melodics finger drumming lessons help build skills and confidence on the grid.
