Jointly designed by Ableton and Novation, Launchpad places Ableton Live at your fingertips. Whether you¿re a DJ, performing musician or studio producer, Launchpad gives you all you need to truly ¿play' Live.
With a multi-colour 64-button grid and dedicated scene launch buttons, Launchpad is purpose built for triggering and manipulating clips in Live, it also offers a totally new way of controlling Ableton Live¿s mixer. Launchpad's buttons can be used to sketch out beats with drum racks, and they can be assigned to other functions in Live using Ableton's 'Learn' mode.
Launchpad ships with a dedicated ¿Launchpad edition¿ of Ableton Live 8, but can control almost any other music software using Novation's award-winning 'Automap' control software.
Launchpad is ultra-portable. It is USB bus powered (no need for power sockets), and weights in at just 717gms (one third the weight of a macbook!).
