Novation Launch Control XL 3 Product Details
Novation Launch Control XL 3 - Tactile control for your creative workflow
The Launch Control XL 3 is a flexible MIDI controller that integrates seamlessly into any studio or live environment. With eight faders, 24 endless knobs and 16 buttons, you can control DAWs, software synthesizers and external MIDI devices precisely and intuitively - without having to constantly reach for the mouse.
Deep integration with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio and many other programs gives you instant access to transport functions, mixing, plug-ins and effects. The new OLED display shows you all parameters in real time directly on the device - for maximum overview and control.
With or without a computer: Thanks to the USB-C power supply and MIDI In/Out/Thru connections, the Launch Control XL 3 can also be used perfectly as a control center for your hardware synthesizers and effects devices. In combination with the free "Novation Components" software, you can save up to 15 of your own control layouts and call them up at any time.
Maximum control - without a mouse
The Launch Control XL 3 was developed for musicians, performers and producers who are looking for a tangible, direct control experience. Every fader and knob responds precisely and provides clear visual feedback at all times with RGB LEDs and OLED display. Dedicated buttons for transport, track navigation and function levels make your workflow much easier.
The RGB-illuminated encoders can be individually assigned and always provide you with the current parameter status via visual feedback - ideal for mixing, live performance or sound design. Whether plug-in parameters, clip control or hardware MIDI: Launch Control XL 3 is your creative center.
Versatile, customizable and ready to go
Novation Components lets you customize the user interface to suit your needs: Create your own macros, group parameters together and save up to 15 custom setups. The controller is ready to use immediately, works without driver installation and can be used both via USB and standalone with MIDI hardware.
