Rated 4 out of 5

Awesome powerful instrument

Bought this for my kids for Xmas. They are 4, 5 and 6 years old and already have piano and drum lessons. My kids are total tech junkies so I figured this would be a great and visually entertaining way of further developing a passion for electronic music and production. It definitely accomplishes this. Bit of a learning curve to this but a few YouTube videos and you’ll be just fine. Amazing how far technology has come since my 20 year old midi synths....

Fun and expressive instrument

After unpacking the unit I was a little overwhelmed on how to use it. I stared at it, and it stared back at me. It was an awkward first time, but as we got to know each other, things started to flow much more smoothly. Even now without much experience, I already love how I can try out ideas quickly and iterate over them with the Launchpad. I wish I had bought one sooner.

Fantastic addition to Ableton Live

I recently got started with Ableton Live and the Launchpad Pro opens up new possibilities. This is VERY cool.

Awesome new toy!

Been researching a lot of controllers and finally landed on this one. Played with it for a bit and discovered there is a learning curve but nothing you can't learn with tutorials and practice. It's now super fun to play with. Gives you a lot of control. Best investment I've made recently.

Fantastic addition to Ableton Live

By JAMES K.

I recently got started with Ableton Live and the Launchpad Pro opens up new possibilities. This is VERY cool.

Free Addictive Keys - Addictive Keys virtual instrument from XLN Audio is on the house when you register your controller keyboard or Launchpad Pro. One full license per account gives you one Addictive Keys instrument. Meet the Professional Grid Instrument
Launchpad Pro is the simplest and best way to create dynamic, expressive performances in Ableton Live, or any music software.

Novation has given its iconic Launchpad a total overhaul. Enhanced with RGB LED feedback, and velocity and pressure-sensitive pads, Launchpad Pro brings limitless expression and creativity to your music.

It's An Instrument - Play It!
Launchpad Pro is an instrument designed for live performance. The new RGB pads light up to match the color of your clips in Ableton Live's session view, so you can see at a glance which clips are playing.

In Note Mode, it automatically switches the layout for drum or instrument devices:
Drums: All your sounds spread across the whole grid, on velocity and pressure-sensitive pads which let you create expressive beats.
Instruments: The grid illuminates as a chromatic keyboard, so you can easily play notes, melodies and chords.

Play Just About Anything
You can use the grid to play any of your music software and external hardware too - with Standalone Mode. It doesn't matter which software you are using: plug it straight into Logic Pro, for example, and play it like a keyboard; connect the MIDI ports to your Bass Station II and play riffs on your grid. The possibilities are endless.

Stay in Your Flow
Launchpad Pro is much more than an instrument: it also gives you slick, immediate access to all your mixer controls mid-performance, so you stay in your flow. There's no need to enter a separate mixer mode; simply press and hold a mixer function button (like mute or volume), make a change, and then release the button to drop straight back into your performance.

Stay in Control of Everything
Control your effects, instrument devices and plug-ins mid-performance to add engaging, expressive effects. For super smooth effect transitions, the button grid also turns into eight velocity-sensitive vertical faders, with LED feedback - the harder you hit the pad, the faster the transition.

Scale Mode
Never hit a wrong note again! With the Scale function, simply press Launchpad Pro's Shift and Note buttons, then choose from a roster of 32 keys and modes, from major and minor, through phrygian, whole tone, bebop minor, iwato, etc. Once selected, Launchpad Pro's 64 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads will assign themselves contiguously to only the notes of the selected scale, removing all the rest. Launchpad Pro is turned into a deeply expressive instrument that lets you focus on the music, rather than precise finger positions.

Scale mode isn't just for Ableton Live - you can use it to play virtual instruments in any other DAW, as well as your hardware synths. Launchpad Pro does not require connection to a computer; it can send MIDI via its 1/8th-inch output (and an included 5-pin Din adapter), so you can play external synths without a keyboard controller.

Plug In and Get Started
Launchpad Pro is just as sleek, lightweight and tough as the rest of our Launch range and can be chained to multiple other Launch products, or connected to the rest of your studio or live setup.

It comes with everything you need to get started, including cables and software, and can be bus-powered over USB. It's also class compliant and doesn't need any drivers; just install the software, plug in and start performing.
