Novation Launchpad Mini MK3 Grid Controller for Ableton Live

Compact USB MIDI Controller for Ableton Live with 64 Pads, Scale and Dynamic Note Modes, and Software Bundle

Comprehensive Compact Control for Live

For longtime Launchpad users, it’s absolutely astonishing how Novation managed to pack so much into the pint-size and portable Launchpad Mini mk3. The third-generation Novation Launchpad Mini doesn’t just pack everything Sweetwater electronic musicians love about the full-size Launchpad into a smaller footprint — it added a ton of new features and functions previously exclusive to the top-of-the-line Launchpad Pro. From production to performance, the Novation Launchpad Mini mk3 is by far the most advanced compact Ableton Live controller out there.

Take command of Ableton Live

The Launchpad Mini mk3 carries on Novation’s tradition of creating compact controllers for Ableton Live in extraordinary fashion. Since the first mini version, this controller has brought all the best qualities of the full-size Launchpad to a more portable and affordable format. Before we get to the fancy bells and whistles, you have to appreciate the basic functionality of this controller.

The Novation Launchpad Mini mk3’s matrix of 64 RGB pads reflects Live’s grid display wonderfully, laying your tracks, clips, and scenes at your fingertips. Other basic functions include using the columns as faders and additional controllers, giving you full command over Live’s mixer. And the Novation Launchpad Mini mk3 introduces one additional great feature: a 4-way button that lets you assign the bottom row to Stop, Mute, or Solo control for each track.

From control surface to MIDI controller

As powerful as the Novation Launchpad Mini mk3 is as a control surface and performance tool, it’s also an amazing instrument controller. That’s because the Launchpad Mini mk3 borrows some of the most popular features from the flagship Launchpad Pro. At the top of the list is Scale mode, which lets you use the full 64-pad matrix as a kind of keyboard, with various scales highlighted to make laying down melody lines almost effortless. You can even set up completely custom MIDI mapping to accommodate your workflow, and the included configuration software makes setup easy.

Take your Launchpad beyond Live

If you use software other than Ableton Live, your Launchpad Mini mk3 will still come in handy. Novation built this controller to both integrate deeply with Ableton Live and provide MIDI control over FL Studio, Bitwig Studio, and many other music creation applications. Best of all, switching modes is easy, so even if you’re performing live, you can use your Novation Launchpad Mini mk3 to pull off all kinds of cross-platform tricks and never miss a beat.

Get started with Ableton Live Lite and other great content

There’s no denying that the Launchpad Mini mk3 is an ideal match for Ableton Live, but what if you don’t have a copy of Live? Don’t worry — your Launchpad Mini mk3 comes complete with Ableton Live Lite, a streamlined yet powerful introduction to Live. Want synths? You got ’em! The AAS Session Bundle includes three synths, and XLN Addictive Keys gives you access to one of four virtual keyboards when you register your Launchpad Mini mk3. As for processors, you get Klevgrand R0Verb and DAW Cassette and the entire Softube Time and Tone bundle.
