SynthForSale proudly features Novation, a name synonymous with quality. The Novation Launchpad X 64 Pad Ableton Live MIDI Controller stands out as a refined and capable piece of gear, designed to inspire.
The Novation Launchpad X is the essential 64-pad MIDI grid controller designed for seamless integration with Ableton Live and Logic Pro. Built to put the power of music production at your fingertips, it features large, velocity-sensitive RGB pads that respond dynamically to your playing style, enabling expressive performances and fluid music creation. Launchpad X gives music makers the freedom to break away from the mouse and embrace hands-on control over clips, scenes, instruments, and performance functions. With deep DAW integration, one-touch Capture MIDI in Ableton Live, and performance-ready scale and note modes, it’s ideal for sketching ideas, building arrangements, or taking your music live. Customisation is effortless through Novation Components, with four user modes expandable to eight via firmware update. Whether you’re producing tracks in the studio or triggering loops on stage, Launchpad X is your creative companion, delivering responsive control and expressive possibilities in a compact and intuitive form.
Key Features:
- 64 Velocity Sensitive RGB Pads:
See your clips and instruments clearly and play with expressive control using large, pressure-sensitive pads that react dynamically to your touch. - Dynamic Note and Scale Modes:
Stay perfectly in key while playing basslines, melodies or chords with intelligent scale locking and note arrangement modes built for creativity. - Custom Modes with Novation Components:
Design your own MIDI mappings and expand your control using up to eight custom layouts, giving you ultimate flexibility over your music setup.
Hands On Creative Control:
Launchpad X transforms the way you interact with your DAW by giving you immediate access to performance essentials like clip launching, mute, solo, record arm, and volume. No drivers are needed, just plug in and go. Its seamless integration with Ableton Live means quick access to Capture MIDI, allowing you to instantly record ideas without interrupting your workflow. It’s equally powerful in Logic Pro, where it triggers Live Loops and helps you build song arrangements through intuitive clip-based creation. Launchpad X keeps you focused on creativity, not on screens or menus.
Expressive Performance Power:
Built with the most responsive velocity-sensitive pads Novation has ever made, Launchpad X empowers musicians to perform with emotion and nuance. Polyphonic aftertouch adds further expression, capturing subtle differences in pressure to shape sound naturally. With Note and Scale modes, you can play harmonically correct melodies and chords even if you’re not a trained keyboardist. Whether producing in the studio or playing live, the expressive playability of Launchpad X invites hands-on experimentation and performance freedom.
Limitless Customisation and Software Integration:
Launchpad X adapts to your workflow. With four custom user modes, now expandable to eight via the 2.0 firmware update, you can set up unique layouts that match your specific needs. Using Novation Components, map MIDI functions, assign DAW shortcuts, or design full performance setups tailored to your workflow. The included software bundle, featuring Ableton Live Lite, Cubase LE, and premium instruments and effects, gives you all the tools you need to start creating right out of the box.
