Novation Launch Control XL Mk3

Posted on by

The new Novation Launch Control XL Mk3 features a standalone setup which mean you no longer need to connect it to your DAW. You can create up to 15 custom modes which can be configured and stored directly on the device. The customisation goes further allowing you to combine parameters with hardware devices and DAW into a single mode. It also keeps the DAW connection scripts: Ableton Live 11 or later, Logic Pro X and 11, Cubase 11 and 12, and FL Studio.

You’ll find a lot of use of the 24 knobs and 8 faders. Each encoder has an RGB LED light. Each fader and encoder shows information on the OLED display.

On the connectivity side there’s more: not just USB (like on the Mk2), there’s 5-pin MIDI with 1 x MIDI IN and 2 x MIDI OUT (one can be used as a thru port).

There’s a bunch of software bundled including Ableton Live 12 Lite, and a plugin suite which includes: Klevgrand Fosfat, Baby Audio Parallel Aggressor, and Output Movement.

Price: $199 USD (Global price)
