With a DAW (digital audio workstation) at the center of near-limitless configurations of home-studio and live-show setups, the capacity for managing and controlling MIDI-driven tools blurs the boundaries and limitations of how physical and virtual instruments interact, intersect, and drive us toward exciting creative horizons. With the Launch Control XL 3, Novation gives you an all-encompassing MIDI control surface that offers uncompromising versatility and detailed, customizable control. From plunging the depths of singular instruments to wrangling an entire production of multi-instrumental arrangements, our producers agree that the Novation Launch Control XL 3 gives musicians of myriad styles intuitive, accessible interfacing that’s immensely powerful yet effortlessly modifiable. LED-backlit encoders, buttons, and faders lay the foundation for 15 user-defined Custom Modes that are endlessly adaptable and work with almost every DAW. Launch Control XL 3’s class-compliant design, USB-C connectivity, and 5-pin MIDI ports culminate in a near-limitless array of performance possibilities. Plus, the included suite of Ableton, Klevgrand, Baby Audio, and Output software gives you everything you need to supercharge your setup, right out of the box.

Hands-on, intuitive, and customizable interfacing

Satisfying tactility abounds across the surface of the Novation Launch Control XL 3, with luxe, minimalist aesthetics concealing a dynamo of diverse, powerful control. Dedicated transport controls are effortlessly differentiated from the mélange of customizable MIDI options. Eight 60mm linear faders, 16 assignable buttons, and 24 endless encoders are all undergirded by customizable RGB LEDs that actively adjust brightness to indicate the level or amount of whatever is being controlled.

Powerful and pliable connections

In addition to reducing cable clutter, the USB-C port is fully MIDI enabled, giving you bus-powered convenience that doesn’t sacrifice flexibility or creativity. With the Launch Control XL 3’s class-compliant design, Novation has given you the keys to imaginative hybrid setups, allowing you to simultaneously control physical and virtual gear via the trio of 5-pin MIDI ports — an input, an output, and a dual-function output and thru-port. Plus, the vivid OLED screen supplies essential information that’s legible yet never distracting in virtually any setting.

Included software suite is ready to rock, right out of the box

Because the Launch Control XL 3 is so versatile, Novation opted to include a software suite of voltaic virtual possibilities. This MIDI control surface thrives in any DAW, and the included copy of Ableton Live Lite offers eight multipurpose tracks of MIDI and audio to wield and a wealth of virtual instruments, effects, and tools unique to Ableton. Moreover, plug-ins from Klevgrand, Baby Audio, and Output expand your sound-design palette with prismatic performance possibilities, spanning transient-sculpting, saturation, and rhythm-generating creative capabilities.
