Product Description

Here’s what Novation say:

Launchpad Pro is made to produce. As Novation’s most powerful grid controller for making music in Ableton Live and with hardware, it gives you everything you need to create and perform your tracks. Launchpad Pro has Novation’s deepest Ableton Live integration yet. 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 makes sure you never miss an idea.

Keep your tracks evolving with the four-track, eight-note polyphonic, 32-step standalone sequencer. Sequence virtual instruments and instantly print patterns to Clips in Ableton Live. Or hook up your favourite hardware to play patterns via MIDI — Launchpad Pro integrates seamlessly. Micro Steps take grooves off-grid. Probability, Mutation, Sync Rate and Play Order let you transform your patterns on the fly. Patterns can be chained together and assigned to Scenes to build complete songs.

Launchpad Pro is the most playable Launchpad yet. Its velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads are bigger and more responsive than ever — perfect for playing grooves and launching clips. Scale mode locks pads to a musical key so you never hit a wrong note. Chord mode is an inspirational tool for building harmonies.

Custom Modes transform Launchpad Pro into a hands-on control surface for any MIDI-compatible software or hardware, so you can design the perfect controller for your live setup, and perform with all your gear, however you want. Simply drag and drop widgets in Novation Components to configure the layout, then store configurations as one of eight Custom Modes. Disconnect the computer (if you want to), then switch between Modes for expressive and creative control of anything MIDI.

Launchpad Pro is your music-making creativity hub, with or without a computer. Hook Launchpad Pro into an all-hardware rig using MIDI In, Out and Out 2/Thru ports on 3.5mm connectors. Last, but by no means least, is the Easy Start Tool that tailors the configuration process to your setup so you can start producing music as quickly as possible.

Key Features

Our Deepest Ableton Live Integration

Launch clips and scenes, access mixer, device and transport controls, and quantise, duplicate and double, all without touching your mouse.

64 Super-sensitive RGB Pads

Large RGB velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads give you a perfect reflection of your Ableton Live session, making it easier than ever to see your clips and play your instruments dynamically and expressively.

Powerful Four-track, 32-step Sequencer

Create full tracks with Launchpad Pro's built-in sequencer, featuring eight-note polyphony, pattern chaining and scenes to create and trigger longer sequences, and probability and mutation controls to keep your tracks evolving.

Chord Mode

Easily explore, build and play complex chords straight from the grid; quickly find new harmonies.

Dynamic Note & Scale Modes

Effortlessly play perfectly in-key basslines, melodies, chords and leads. Launchpad Pro even knows when you’re drumming and shows your drum rack on the grid.

MIDI In, Out & Out 2/Thru

Control anything MIDI in your studio directly from Launchpad Pro.

Capture MIDI

Never lose ideas and happy accidents with on-device access to Ableton Live's Capture MIDI function.

Eight Custom Modes

Use Novation Components to customise mappings and control anything MIDI easily from Launchpad Pro.

Grab And Go

Sleek, lightweight and tough, and USB-C bus-powered.

Get Started Easily

Use our Easy Start Tool to get all the software you want, and step-by-step video guides to get you set up with Live and making music in minutes.

Unquantised Recording

Record into micro steps for off-grid beats with more feel.

Perform Velocity, Mutation and Probability Controls

Add even more expression to patterns and sequences.

Legacy mode

Reflects the layout used in legacy Launchpad software and projects, which is especially useful for recalling lightshow layouts.

Trigger threshold

Adjust the sensitivity of the pads to the playing style.

Logic Pro 10.6 Update

Live Loops & Launchpad Pro [MK3]For the first time in Logic Pro 10.6, Launchpad Pro [MK3] is compatible with Live Loops. As part of the Live Loops and Launchpad Pro [MK3] experience, you can trigger cells from the grid, navigate projects easily, and get hands-on with producing and performing in Logic Pro. Express yourself in Note and Chord modes and record directly to cells, then mute, solo, record arm and stop tracks. Dedicated controls let you clear and duplicate cells, and quantise the notes recorded into a cell —all with a few button pushes. 

What’s more, using the powerful features of Launchpad Pro [MK3], you can lose yourself in your creative flow without having to reach for the mouse. Custom modes let you map the grid to controls of your choice, and create your own personalised performance setups, including drum pads and 
velocity-sensitive faders. 

Custom Modes are designed using Novation Components, the free configuration tool that can be accessed via Google Chrome or as a standalone app.

It great _but_ it is a step back in some ways. Fewer scales, weird choice of scales. That aside, it is great because it is actually a midi controller I can use with hardware AND ableton live

Good piece of kit. Does everything I want but wish it was a little more compatible with Logic Pro.

Trusted Customer13th Feb 2021

Awesome piece of kit. It's got a pretty intuitive interface that makes it easy to navigate for noobies, the sequencer is a lot of fun to play with and I've fallen asleep in my chair and knocked it off the desk a few times, and it's perfectly fine, so it's pretty durable as well

Mr Stephen Leathley31st Dec 2020

Seems like a great product, but with no "quick start guide" and the online tutorials patchy and not particularly helpful, progress toward using the device has been slow. I would definitely welcome better information at the outset. "Plug and Play" would definitely not describe my experience.

I've been blown away with this product. Whether you're using it as a midi controller for Ableton Live, a midi instrument or sequencer - this has it all. Some great in-depth tutorials - which were needed (being a newbie to the music production world). But they have you up and running, using Ableton Live and making beats, in minutes.
