Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 MIDI Controller

The Most Powerful & Playable Grid Controller Yet – Deep Ableton Live & Logic Pro Integration With A Built-In Sequencer – Novation Launchpad Pro MK3.

The Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 is Novation's most powerful and playable grid controller, built for producing in Ableton Live and Logic Pro. Dedicated buttons bring you closer to the Ableton Live workflow than ever before — launch clips and scenes, access mixer, device and transport controls, and quantise, duplicate and double, all without touching your mouse. One-click access to Ableton Live's Capture MIDI function ensures no musical idea is ever lost. In Logic Pro, Launchpad Pro offers the most tightly integrated grid experience available, triggering Live Loops directly from the grid and providing hands-on access to project navigation and performance.

At the heart of the Launchpad Pro is a powerful four-track, 32-step sequencer with eight-note polyphony, pattern chaining, probability and Micro Steps for off-grid grooves — sequence virtual instruments and print patterns straight to Clips in Ableton Live, or connect hardware synths directly via MIDI for standalone sequencing without a computer. The 64 velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads are bigger and more responsive than ever, with Scale mode locking pads to a musical key to prevent wrong notes and Chord mode providing inspiration for building harmonies. Eight Custom Modes, designed by dragging and dropping widgets in Novation Components, transform Launchpad Pro into a bespoke hands-on control surface for any MIDI-compatible software or hardware — with MIDI In, Out and Out2/Thru ports allowing full standalone control of an all-hardware rig, computer-free if desired. The package includes 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 Melodics finger drumming lessons.

Deepest Ableton Live & Logic Pro Integration

Dedicated buttons provide direct access to clip and scene launching, mixer, device and transport controls, plus quantise, duplicate and double functions — all without ever reaching for the mouse. One-click Capture MIDI ensures spontaneous performances and ideas played on the pads are never lost. For Logic Pro users, Launchpad Pro offers the most tightly integrated grid experience available, with Live Loops triggered directly from the pads and straightforward hands-on project navigation throughout the performance.

Powerful Standalone Sequencer

The built-in four-track, 32-step sequencer with eight-note polyphony allows full tracks to be built directly on the unit, with pattern chaining, probability, Mutation, Sync Rate and Play Order providing extensive tools for transforming patterns on the fly. Micro Steps take grooves off the rigid grid for more natural, human timing, and patterns can be chained and assigned to Scenes to construct complete song arrangements. Sequenced patterns can be printed directly to Clips in Ableton Live or used to play hardware synths via MIDI for a fully standalone sequencing workflow.

64 Super-Sensitive Pads & 8 Custom Modes

The velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads are the biggest and most responsive Novation has produced, ideal for playing expressive grooves and launching clips with genuine musical nuance. Scale mode locks the pads to a chosen musical key to eliminate wrong notes, and Chord mode offers an inspiring tool for building harmonies on the fly. Eight Custom Modes, configured by dragging and dropping widgets in Novation Components, allow the 8x8 grid to be transformed into a bespoke control surface for any MIDI-compatible software or hardware — with MIDI In, Out and Out2/Thru ports (3.5mm with included DIN adapters) enabling full control of an all-hardware rig, with or without a connected computer.
