Product Overview

Complete Tactile Command Over Your Mix

The Launch Control XL is built to solve the biggest problem in modern digital production: a lack of physical controls. It transforms your software mixing process by bringing volume, panning, and effects parameters out of your computer and onto a rugged, responsive desktop surface. It functions as the perfect partner layout for grid controllers like the Launchpad, creating an expansive and professional electronic music workstation.

Product Description

Immersive Mixer and Effects Control:

The surface is centered around 24 high-quality rotary pots arranged in a clear 3x8 grid. These knobs feature customizable multi-color LED rings that align perfectly with Ableton Live’s device architecture, allowing you to easily distinguish between sends, EQs, or any other mapped parameters. Below the knobs sit eight smooth-action 60mm faders that offer high-precision level control for tracking and balancing your audio channels.

Seamless Ableton Integration and Custom Templates:

The Launch Control XL offers out-of-the-box integration with Ableton Live, instantly mapping itself to the software's mixer, device macros, and effect racks. For broader studio setups, you can use Novation Components to design your own custom MIDI templates. This allows you to map controls to hardware synthesizers, external drum machines, or other major DAWs like Logic Pro, Cubase, and FL Studio via HUI protocols.

Rugged, Portable, and Bus-Powered:

Built to withstand heavy studio usage and energetic live performances, the Launch Control XL features a highly durable, low-profile chassis. It is entirely USB bus-powered, requiring only a single cable to operate. Its lightweight design makes it incredibly easy to slide into a gig bag, providing a full-scale physical mixing desk experience wherever your music takes you.
