The Novation Launchpad family has built itself a great reputation among music producers and performers, particularly due to its close integration with Ableton Live. By connecting a Launchpad to your Live project, you gain instant, tactile control over your session and can play it in real time like an instrument. Simply load some sounds into the clips and the Launchpad plays them back as you command, all in perfect sync.

There are different sizes of Launchpad, each with their own capabilities. The Launchpad Mini is a basic, plug and play tool which is great for producers taking their first steps into control surfaces. Moving up the range, the Launchpad X adds extra features like velocity-sensitive pads for controlling virtual instruments, along with after-touch. The Launchpad Pro sits at the top of the tree and provides a standalone sequencer and chord modes along with more methods of customisation and a higher spec build. 

Each model is USB powered, and can control other DAWs too including Cubase, Bitwig and Logic Pro X.
