Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 Grid Controller for Ableton Live

Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 Grid Controller for Ableton Live

The Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 Grid Controller for Ableton Live is the most fully featured grid controller in the Launchpad family — a performance powerhouse that combines a 64-pad expressive playing surface with a built-in four-track sequencer, 42 dedicated control buttons, and standalone operation capability, making it an indispensable tool for both studio production and live electronic performance. The 64 large RGB pads are velocity-sensitive and support polyphonic aftertouch, delivering an expressiveness that is unusual in grid controllers at any price point. Whether you are launching clips in Ableton Live, playing melodic lines in Note Mode, programming rhythms in Drum Mode, or building sequences without a computer, the Launchpad Pro MK3 meets every creative demand with confidence.

Built-In Sequencer, Standalone Operation, and Full MIDI I/O

The defining advantage of the Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 over the standard Launchpad X is its built-in four-track, 32-step sequencer with eight-note polyphony per track. Probability, Mutation, Sync Rate, and Play Order controls introduce generative variation and evolving sequences directly from hardware, making the Pro MK3 genuinely capable as a standalone performance and composition tool. When connected to a computer, the 42 backlit tactile-click buttons provide direct access to Ableton Live and Logic Pro transport, mixer, and arrangement controls, with deep integration that goes far beyond simple clip launching. As a result, the Pro MK3 functions as a command centre for both software-driven and hardware-based studio setups.

Hardware connectivity is exceptional for a grid controller: MIDI In, Out, and Out 2/Thru on 3.5mm TRS jacks with three included 5-pin DIN adapters allow the Launchpad Pro MK3 to sequence and control external synthesizers, drum machines, and modular gear without a computer. The controller can be bus powered via USB-C or powered by the included AC adapter for fully standalone operation. Scale Mode, Chord Mode, and four Custom Modes via Novation Components ensure the Pro MK3 adapts to any workflow, whether you're in Ableton Live, Logic Pro, or a hardware-only rig. The included software bundle comprises Ableton Live Lite, the AAS Session Bundle, XLN Audio Addictive Keys, Klevgrand R0Verb, Klevgrand DAW Cassette, and the Softube Time and Tone Bundle. Available at OneStopMusic South Africa, the Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 is the ultimate grid controller for serious electronic musicians.
