Novation Launchpad Mini MK3

For anyone who has worked with Launchpads for years, it is almost unbelievable how much Novation has managed to cram into the compact size of the Launchpad Mini mk3. This third-generation Launchpad Mini not only offers all the familiar functionality of the larger model, but also adds a host of new features previously found only on the advanced Launchpad Pro. Whether you're producing or playing live, the Novation Launchpad Mini mk3 is without a doubt the most advanced compact controller for Ableton Live.

Full control of Ableton Live
The Launchpad Mini mk3 continues Novation's tradition of compact controllers for Ableton Live that excel in ease of use and functionality. From the very first mini version, this controller offers everything you would expect from the larger Launchpad, but in a portable and affordable format. The matrix of 64 RGB pads integrates seamlessly with Ableton Live's grid display. Tracks, clips and scenes are literally at your fingertips. In addition, you can use the columns as faders and additional controls, giving you complete control over the mixer in Live. A clever addition to the Launchpad Mini mk3 is the 4-way button. It allows you to assign the bottom row of pads to Stop, Mute or Solo per track - an additional layer of control that makes your workflow even more efficient.

From controller to instrument
The Novation Launchpad Mini mk3 is not only a powerful Ableton Live controller and performance tool, but also an impressive MIDI controller. Thanks to features carried over from the advanced Launchpad Pro, this compact unit effortlessly transforms into a full-fledged instrument. The most popular addition is undoubtedly the Scale mode. This lets you use the entire 64-pad matrix as a kind of keyboard, automatically marking different scales. This allows you to record melodies effortlessly, without worrying about wrong notes. In addition, the Launchpad Mini mk3 lets you set up fully customized MIDI mapping, so the controller fits your workflow perfectly. The included configuration software makes it easy to set everything up to your liking.

More than just Ableton Live
Even if you work with software other than Ableton Live, the Launchpad Mini mk3 is a valuable addition to your setup. Novation designed this controller with deep integration for Ableton Live, but it offers just as good MIDI control for FL Studio, Bitwig Studio and many other music programs, among others. Switching between modes is effortless, so even during live performances you can switch quickly and take full advantage of all the features - no matter what software you're using.
