All you need to make music with Ableton.
The Novation Launchpad Mini MK3 is a revolutionary MIDI controller that puts the capabilities of a full production studio right in the palm of your hand. The third generation of Novation's popular Launchpad Mini line, this compact yet robust controller seamlessly integrates with Ableton Live to give electronic musicians tactile control over their DAW. Whether you're producing tracks at home, performing live on stage, or creating on the go, the Launchpad Mini MK3 provides an intuitive interface to compose, record, remix, and improvise.
The 64 RGB-illuminated pads on the Launchpad Mini MK3 provide a dynamic reflection of your Ableton Live session, making clip launching and scene triggering more seamless than ever before. Quickly start, stop, mute, or solo tracks right from the controller—no mouse required. An additional 4-way joystick lets you instantly assign the bottom row of pads to control track functions.
Borrowing features from Novation's flagship Launchpad Pro, the Launchpad Mini MK3 unlocks new creative possibilities with Scale and Custom Modes. Scale Mode transforms the grid into an illuminated keyboard layout, with scale degrees highlighted to facilitate melody creation. Custom Mode allows for customizable MIDI mapping to suit any workflow or performance setup. The included Novation Components software makes configuration a breeze.
While seamlessly integrated with Ableton Live, the Launchpad Mini MK3 also provides MIDI control over other popular DAWs like FL Studio, Bitwig Studio, and more. Easily switch between software for innovative cross-platform performances or map the controller to external hardware synths and drum machines. Wherever your musical journey leads, the Launchpad Mini MK3 is designed to keep up.
Weighing in at just over a pound, the Launchpad Mini MK3 is lightweight and compact enough to fit into any setup. Its plug-and-play design makes it ideal for producing music on the move or as a tactile companion for your laptop. The included protective case helps the controller survive life on the road.
