Novation comes back with a brand new edition of the Launch Control – a super compact, portable MIDI control surface for use in the studio and on stage.

Designed to be the ultimate creative companion, the Launch Control bridges the gap between working with software and external hardware.

Whether you’re crafting and tweaking soft-synths, mixing a session down in your DAW, or sculpting sounds using analogue gear, the Launch Control will keep you in the flow.

Key features

  • Hands-on control: 16 smooth, endless rotary encoders (with LED value indicators), and 8 colour-coded assignable buttons so you can quickly solo, mute, arm tracks, or send MIDI notes.
  • OLED Display: Get instant visual feedback from the crisp new 128 x 64 monochrome OLED display, so you can now keep track of track names, custom values, and parameters.
  • Ultimate customisation: Create up to seven custom user-defined modes using Novation’s Components software.
  • Extensive MIDI I/O: 5-pin MIDI In, Out, and Out2/Thru ports so you can route and merge MIDI directly to your hardware synths and effects without needing a computer.
