Chord and Scale Modes turn your Launchpad Pro into an instrument

Even the original Launchpad provided an instrument-like feel, allowing you to play notes and trigger drums, but the Launchpad Pro MK3 seriously ups the ante. That's because Novation equipped the Launchpad Pro with special Chord and Scale Modes. Chord Mode makes it easy to explore different chord voicings and harmonies, and trigger them right from the grid. Scale Modes automatically assign the pads to specific notes, making it impossible for you to play out of key. All told, Chord and Scale Modes not only let you play your Launchpad Pro MK3 like an instrument, they can inspire your creativity.

Quick, immediate access to your mixer controls

In addition to its remarkable playability, the Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 controller also gives you quick, immediate access to all of your mixer controls. This lets you change settings in the midst of a performance without losing your flow. There's no separate mixer mode to hamper your creativity — simply press and hold a button, make a change, release the button, and drop straight back to your performance. It really is that easy to tweak channel levels and panning, aux send levels, and so on.

Includes Ableton Live Lite and additional software

The Launchpad Pro MK3 is ready to use right out of the box. Fire up Ableton Live Lite and you'll be making music in no time. The included sounds and virtual instruments give you a creative jump start, while access to Sound Collective ensures you'll have a regular supply of fresh sounds. In all, here's what you get with the Novation Launchpad Pro MK3:

Firmware v1.2 update offers big creative potential

With Novation's v1.2 firmware update for the Launchpad Pro MK3 pad controller, you now have even greater creative performance potential. Responding to requests from artists of all types, this firmware update brings Unquantized Recording to free yourself from the restrictions of rigid grid-based sequencing. Your beats don't need to be confined to the grid, allowing you to record into micro steps for off-grid grooves. Another much-requested feature comes in the form of Legacy Mode which re-introduces the User layout of the original Launchpad Pro, allowing you to transfer your old Launchpad Pro projects into the Launchpad Pro MK3 environment.
