Description
The Novation Launchpad Pro is the simplest and best way to create dynamic, expressive performances in Ableton Live, or any music software. Enhanced with RGB LED feedback and velocity and pressure-sensitive pads, the Launchpad Pro brings limitless expression and creativity to your music. Launchpad Pro is an instrument designed for live performance. Its RGB pads light up to match the color of your clips in Ableton Live's session view, so you can see at a glance which clips are playing.
In Note Mode, it automatically switches the layout for drum or instrument devices. For drums, all your sounds spread across the whole grid, on velocity and pressure-sensitive pads which let you create expressive beats. With instruments, the grid illuminates as a chromatic keyboard, so you can easily play notes, melodies and chords.
With Standalone Mode, you can use the grid to play any of your music software and external hardware too. It doesn't matter which software you are using: plug it straight into Logic Pro, for example, and play it like a keyboard; connect the MIDI ports to your Bass Station II and play riffs on your grid. The possibilities are endless.
Launchpad Pro is much more than an instrument: it also gives you slick, immediate access to all your mixer controls mid-performance, so you stay in your flow. There's no need to enter a separate mixer mode; simply press and hold a mixer function button (like mute or volume), make a change, and then release the button to drop straight back into your performance.
Control your effects, instrument devices and plug-ins mid-performance to add engaging, expressive effects. For super-smooth effect transitions, the button grid also turns into eight velocity-sensitive vertical faders, with LED feedback – the harder you hit the pad, the faster the transition.
Launchpad Pro is just as sleek, lightweight and tough as the rest of Novation's Launch range and can be chained to multiple other Launch products, or connected to the rest of your studio or live setup.
The Launchpad Pro can be bus-powered over USB. It's also class compliant and doesn't need any drivers; just install the software, plug in, and start performing
