Launchpads can be generic MIDI controllers — even more so now with customisation and the Pro's sequencer — but they are designed with Ableton Live in mind. The announcement of the new Launchpad Pro at NAMM completed Novation's line-up of MkIII Launchpads, with a new slim design, USB-C connectivity and enhanced features. Three Custom Modes – use Components to customise mappings and control anything MIDI easily from Launchpad Mini. This MIDI controller gives you everything you need to start performing in Ableton Live, and is compact enough to fit into your bag. This great bundle includes the Novation Launchpad X controller with the upgrade to Live 11 Suite from the included Live Lite.

Launchpad X and Launchpad Mini [MK3] devices no longer need to be rotated to properly display the Live Loops grid, as was required in v10. Out of the box it’s surprisingly compact (a few mm smaller than the Mk2) and visually at least looks like a scaled-down Launchpad X. And explore a world of ready-made instruments, effects and tools produced by the Max for Live community. Novation are excited to announce an extension to the standard limited warranty, which comes with all new products.Akai APC MINI MK2 Ableton Controller The APC Mini Mk2 clip launching controller for Ableton Live is the ultimate compact solution for music creation in any environment.
