Product Information

Custom Modes are designed using Novation Components, the free configuration tool that can be accessed via Google Chrome or as a standalone app.

Weird this should pop up today as I've just got all excited about the Pro MK3 as a standalone sequencer too! Paired with Ableton Live DAW software, the Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 grid controller becomes your epicenter for music production. Launchpad works seamlessly in the Live Loops workflow, to provide tactile playability and colourful grid-based feedback. XLN Addictive Keys – Access one of four virtual keyboards when you register your first piece of Novation or Focusrite hardware. Get Started Easily — Use our Easy Start Tool to get all the software you want, and step-by-step video guides to get you set up with Live and making music in minutes.Cons: takes up 7hp, only 3 channels, the midi trs specs are different so a special cable is needed). As someone who's new to Ableton (coming from Logic Pro), which hardware would you recommend purchasing in 2021, considering that the Push 2 is over 5 years old now? XLN Addictive Keys - Access one of four virtual keyboards when you register your first piece of Novation or Focusrite hardware. In Ableton, I make at least one MIDI track for each of my hardware synths, use the external instrument device on it (compensates for latency), and then save that as a template. Our Deepest Ableton Live Integration — Launch clips and scenes, access mixer, device and transport controls, and quantise, duplicate and double, all without touching your mouse.

I don't really understand if the launchpad can be integrate to a really nice way with modular setup. Other software included with the Launchpad Pro: AAS Session Bundle, XLN Addictive Keys, Klevgrand R0Verb and DAW Cassette, Softube Time and Tone Bundle. There is of course a huge learning curve to this, but that's more the fault of the software (Ableton) than the hardware. Custom Modes transform Launchpad Pro into a hands-on control surface for any MIDI-compatible software or hardware, so you can design the perfect controller for your live setup, and perform with all your gear, however you want. Its Live integration is Novation's deepest yet, making it an extremely capable bespoke controller for Live - or for using standalone hooked into an all-hardware rig.

Since going back to an Ableton-centric recording philosophy I've been hamstrung by a lack of transport control available at my hardware.
