Product Overview

The Definitive Grid Controller for Ableton

The Launchpad X is engineered to give you complete, hands-on control over your digital audio workstation. It streamlines your music production workflow by bringing your session view directly to your fingertips. Whether you are finger-drumming on its velocity-sensitive grid, triggering loops during a live set, or navigating your mixer, it provides a fast, tactile interface that keeps you completely immersed in your music.

Product Description

Expressive Performance Grid:

The standout feature of the Launchpad X is its 64 large RGB pads, which are fully velocity and pressure-sensitive. This allows you to play virtual instruments, synths, and drum racks with incredible expression and nuance. It also includes Scale and Chord modes, which dynamically lock the grid to a specific musical scale, ensuring you never hit a wrong note while sketching out melodies.

Deep Session and Mixer Control:

Get instant, tactile command over your DAW's essential functions. The Launchpad X features dedicated buttons for Stop, Solo, Mute, and Record Arm, letting you control your mix in real-time. With the One-Touch Mixer controls, you can adjust volume, panning, and sends directly from the pad grid, keeping your hands on the controller and your focus on the performance.

Customizable Layouts and Portability:

Using the Novation Components software, you can completely customize how the Launchpad X behaves. Design your own MIDI mappings to control hardware or software plug-ins with four Custom Modes. Built with a sleek, low-profile design, it is entirely USB-C bus-powered, making it lightweight and portable enough to slide into your bag for music production anywhere.
